Even a couple of thousand (and how many of these ‘purchase history’ fans blow the roof off with their singing anyway) spread out over half the ground really isn’t going to make much difference……
Yep…..I don’t understand the surprise either. I chose to go behind the goal as it was obvious that’s where the standing would be……..other than that I’d expect most of the blocks to be all-seated.
Completely agree re purchase history - should have been a window after A+, but whatever order we use for 37/38,000 is going to result in a lot of tourists and occasionals, with the hard-core support spread out over the whole allocation. Wouldn’t have any impact on the atmosphere.
What would you change ? No guest tickets and take a significantly reduced allocation ? It’s just an extension of the Amex - loads go there who don’t really care whether we win or lose - if they did, they wouldn’t be pissing off after 80 mins when scores are level.
Me too….it was pretty good there, never quiet for long. Did sense it was only our block at certain points - whilst loud within the block can understand that being lost in most of the rest of the soulless tourist bowl that Wembley is.
