They've basically saved Block A from closing

so I'm personally glad about that! But I still feel for the kids and their families, and their friends they'll be moved away from.

In a way, they'll be pleased that they still have a ticket, but unhappy that any of this has happened in the first place because it's been going on for *years*, not just this season
