One Wisbech Town fan was hopeful that the stand can be sorted out quickly. He was worried that FA officials might take a dim view.

"I guess if the debris is moved this week and that end sectioned off on match days there should be no problem," he wrote on the Wisbech Town forum.

Club chairman Paul Benchley said he would know more later once he's spoken to their insurers.
