One of his biggest mistakes ever IMHO. He clearly has not listened to fans who obviously understand the history of the club better than him. However he chose to put short-term, short-sighted business interests before this which returned to bite him, and in turn the club, as I believe that decision to make lower-loft the family stand played a significant contribution to our relegation. I'm not just saying this now, I've said it from the day he changed it. That single decision resulted in him taking away one of our strongest advantages to our home matches purely by virtue of the fact that the noise and intimidating atmosphere we generated not only panicked and froze opposition players but also gave a huge confidence injection to our own players - when we attacked the home end it was almost as if we sucked the ball into the net, aided by the tightness of the ground that gives LR unique acoustic properties (again something he never 'got'). Fans have been voicing all these issues for the last 2 years but he's chosen to ignore it, which has played a part in our relegation IMHO. The one great home advantage LR gives us he took away, through his own ignorance of our history, in favour of short-term, ill-advised commercial interests.
