That's a bit of a sweeping statement.... I personally haven't seen evidence of 5,000 plus people up in arms.
I was, until this season, a "corner dweller" and all I ever heard was "shut the corners to create an atmosphere by grouping us altogether". This started to happen in the cups and I like many others now had to fight for free spaces in other parts of the ground. The other season those involved in the "White Paper" decided to move the entire family corner into the standard corner and replace the Family Corner with the "Community Corner". I'm still struggling with that logic but frankly it was the last straw for me as a corner dweller and I moved this season to Club Red........
Pete's well aware of this forum and the various other Social Media "outlets" and has seen the "close this section" and the ""group us together to create an atmosphere" posts.
Be careful what you wish for because he seems to have listened to you all and done what you've been suggested over the years. As he says he's doing it to boost the atmosphere with the hopes that it'll give us enough of a boost to get past the dreaded play off semis that we've always failed to do.
No amount of moaning will change anything now so we all need to get behind the team for this one match. We can have the inquest after that, you never know it might just work.
Great post. Massive overreaction to this imo for a single game. I hope those suggesting that they won't be renewing their STs change their mind next season.
As you say, lots of people wanting to close the corners are now calling it a stupid idea. And we've got an awful record in play offs but he tries something different and gets crucified. PW might not be as arsed with the club as he once was and he has obviously pissed a lot of people off but the club needs us for this one game.
If we get to Wembley, we'll be sitting wherever we can get tickets anyway and are just as likely to not sit near your mates as you are on Thursday night.
Be pissed off, say bad things on Twitter, moan to your friends and family and then come along to the home game and help get us over the line, please
