THE CONCRETE ROUNDABOUT (TCR)

I am astounded that people are considering not attending because they can't sit in Club Red. I understand that it is unexpected, unprecedented for the Club to do this, and a pretty serious inconvenience to some. This being the hot topic of discussion instead of the game itself and what's at stake is very poor and I hope it doesn't last much longer.

I'm aware it's not as much of a problem for those who sit in the Cowshed or East Stand. But to make a conscious decision to sit on your sofa and watch the game instead of attending a second leg of a play-off semi final, a hurdle we have fallen at so many times, agonisingly, is ridiculous.

There are so many people doing great work to get people in the ground, to reach new people around the city, and the fact that some "loyal" supporters don't want to attend our biggest game of the season because they have to sit on a different seat is ludicrous. It reflects the wider issues of this fanbase and why most are happy to accept failure season upon season as long as they can enjoy their prawn sandwich and free team sheet.

Get a grip, suck it up for one day of your life and enjoy watching us get to Wembley again at long last (I hope).

Wow, the sheer arrogance of this post.
Snide insinuations that people who are genuinely pissed about this and might stay away are somehow less loyal.
Calling people who are pissed about this ridiculous and ludicrous.
Suggesting people like me are quite happy with failure year after year.
Some batshit attempt at class warfare by implying that those in Club Red are some sort of toffs eating prawn sandwiches.

For the record I’ve bought 2 tickets in the East stand and will most certainly be at Wembley should we make it. But as I’ve said previously, this is the final straw on the camel’s back for me and I won’t be renewing my season ticket next year.

If you keep hitting this many nails on this many heads, I've got some DIY I need doing.

Sorry, whilst I agree with a lot of your post, "it's not the same as earlier cup games" - well it isn't because it's a one of, but it is because it's pretty annoying having to move your seat and where you like to be for 3/4/5 games a season.
Playoff semi final or not, we go to football for different reasons. I like the people around me. I couldn't care less if we're playing Taunton or Tottenham, I get the same level of Saturday excitement to go and have a drink with my friends and see people I only see for a few hours a week. When it's forced upon you several times a year, it's really annoying but we've all had to get on with it for a long time

Cheers Pete. You've convinced me.

Err, when you’ve been moved out the Cowshed for cup ties, we have as well. I was shunted into the East for Taunton and the early Carabao ties.

So it is different as you’re sorted for this one.

The people in the Cowshed do typically reek so I can understand why people would not be so happy to be sat within touching distance of some of those undesirables.

I still am confused who is going to buy us. It isn't risky to sell. I am sure Wrexham and Mansfield fans are testament to that. I mean even Crawley are seeing the benefit of new owners despite how batshit crazy they are. It is why would anyone want to buy a "scummy franchise" that the only part of the business that makes money is the hotel and that is if Inter MK sell it as a package. It would be mad to invest in something that would make you a loss each year.
