It’s like someone comes up with an idea which, in absolute isolation sounds good, and everyone says “ooh, that’s brilliant” instead of applying a bit of thought to it to see if it actually is a good idea.
The “good” bit is obviously to bunch supporters together to make a bit more noise. There’s more of an atmosphere, looks better on tv, etc.
The reality is you’re moving sections of the ground (family corner for example):
Who may not be singers
Who may be uncomfortable in those areas and be even quieter than usual
Who may be uncomfortable in those areas and decide not to go
Who may “dissolve” the singing by separating groups of singers
It won’t look better on TV as there will be large areas totally empty seen by the cameras as they pan around, rather than a good scattering of supporters. Put everyone in the lower tier as usual a the cameras won’t be pointing at the upper tier much either.
So on balance it might not be such a good idea after all, so have a bit of a rethink.
If I can’t book my seat I won’t go, some of the people sitting around me have said the same, all because of the reasons I’ve listed above. We’ll just watch it in the pub instead, so the club lose out both in money and in any contribution to the atmosphere/noise we would have made (however small).
The whole thing smacks a little of Pete having a meeting with #Donsaction. Pete deciding that he best do something to show he listens to the fans and comes up witht this absolute shit show and as he's down with the yoof decides he better #it #BringTheNoiseMK absolute bollox. I'll add this is no critisism of Donsaction, they're excellent, but I can definitely see this scenario happening.
