we took a good crowd there that night the north stand should of been opened.

Justification would be down to whether it's worthwhile opening the stand due to count of supporters (pre-booked). If there's only 1000 fans for a 5500 stand, it doesn't make business sense to open it. They gotta pay staff to man the concourse, and the turnstyles, then there's the additional stewards, first aid etc.
I sincerely doubt any chance of not opening the North this time, considering a) how many we've sold (wouldn't have anywhere else to put you) and b) how the event has been marketed (look a bit embarassing to both to have empty stands), and i hope to see very few empty seats there.
Hope you give us a good game, and I think it's going to be tight... we'll see who gets that vital first, and last try!
See you all on Saturday!!!
