Had to turn off the moan-in as it annoyed me so much.
The problem was not terracing or the overselling of tickets, it was simply poor organisation by the stewards and by our fans from the moment the gates opened.
I got into the ground at about 14:05 as I wanted to be in there early to get a decent spot. On passing through the turnstile all of the entrances on the right hand side of the terrace (the nearest entrances) were blocked by stewards so that we could only use the entrances to the left hand side (the furthest away).
Having been to London Road a few times, it was clear to me that they were attempting to fill up the terrace from left to right in order to prevent any problems such as we've had in the past, particularly in the League One season whereby it was quite uncomfortable.
On actually getting onto the terrace I was quite surprised to see that the majority of people had chosen and been allowed to move towards to the middle, despite the middle entrances being blocked. This was clearly a flaw in Peterborough's plan to fill the terrace from left to right.
I remained stood to the left, in front of a railing as I knew I wouldn't be victim of any ridiculous surge. Where I stood for the game was fine and there were no issues at all, everyone seemed to be having a decent time. It was comfortable and there was plenty of room to celebrate.
Now clearly Peterborough foresaw there being issues on the terrace otherwise they wouldn't have tried to fill it from left to right as they haven't in the past, however they weren't helped by their own stupidity and that of our own fans who were, probably understandably, keen to get to the middle.
I also don't doubt that it was uncomfortably packed in the middle, but to liken it to Hillsborough is ridiculous.
Fryatt's wins the thread. Incredible.
