Alternates - PPR and opening hours

What's the expectation from airfield owners who are lucky enough to be planned alternates? If you turn up one day, having been unable to land at your intended destination, without PPR - will they likely be miffed? How about if you turn up when they're not even open?

I do my flying from Prestwick, and sometimes go for a sortie around 7am so I can best fit around work and family life. But all the decent alternates are closed at that time (GLW being a little on the pricey side and Bute being somewhat remote), hence the question.

Thoughts?
