This couldn't be further from the truth. CP was absolutely hopping that year, I couldn't keep up with all the posts and would often just click on the last two or three pages of the FOI forum thread instead of most recent post, to catch up. Posters were excited all year.
I'm stunned someone would try to claim this place is quieter during better years. You just see criticism as "negativity" and it stands out more to you. And there's obviously going to be more criticism when the team is mismanaged into becoming a bottom feeder from a contender over 2 years.
