Don’t leave last min guys, get em early and avoid the tariff
I’m surprised by that. Surely we can get 15k for this game ? 1st game of the season and all to play for ? London derby ? New ownership optimism? Maybe we are just a small club that happens to have a small core of devoted looneys as fans 😂
4th season on the spin in the third tier , something we’ve never achieved since we first got promoted out of it in 1929 6 relegations in to it have seen it take 2 seasons 1933-5 3 seasons 1972-5 1 season 1980-1 3 seasons 2009-12 3 seasons 2016-19 4 seasons and counting 2020-??
these are comfortably the shittiest footballing times in our history , apathy has set in and it’s a hard sell to non committed fans .
3k of Orient fans will bump up the crowd and the rain will put a few off so bums on seats 12,345 announced 14,482 (900 owners not present )
I looked on the ticket site and we seem to have sold a lot more season tickets since the takeover but not that many match day tickets for the Orient game - simply by comparing seats still available on both - I agree with most, looks like the crowd will be circa 15k with about 13k actually there - too many false dawns putting the real bandwagon factor on hold but a few big signings and wins and the momentum will build
Think we’ve lost a lot of regular supporters because of ownership, shit football & general apathy, I think crowds this season will be low, hope I’m wrong
Bought 3 tickets today. Wanted to get myself a season ticket but had no-one to go with. Instead dragged two friends over for this, fingers crossed we put on a good show to get ourselves two more fans.
The whole of the Covered End should be mostly full on Saturday judging by the greyed-out areas for the two tiers so far so with a full away end as well the atmosphere should be pretty good
Got my 4 tickets for me, the mrs and my two daughters. Looking forward to the O’s game as I work for Leyton Orient Community Trust and my mrs grew up in Wanstead and used to watch the o’s back in the early 90’s.
High advertised gate, a low bums on seats number. Loads of people are on holidays.
Did they not say they were only counting those that are actually there.
I think this happened for a period under Sandgaard, however, my understanding is that clubs generally advertise the gate including all tickets sold/issued as comps.

When did this change ? Years ago I’m sure the club under reported attendance perhaps to avoid tax no idea why but I often thought bloody hell there’s more here than that ! Now everyone over reports

The real fans know what to expect once Alfie May goes down injured after 6 minutes, then Camara pulls his groin and AMB gets sent off.

b) Lost the plot?
