It just gets better, this Orient fan is saying they will need to eject any Charlton fans identified.
Between reading here, Leyton Orient fans on twitter, their forums and twitter in general, had a right good night. Actually had tears in my eyes.
Solid night of social media, very decent birthday. Charlton win at Wembley and that will do me13 -

The club don’t have the tickets to send. It’s Wembley at fault.Croydon said:
The so called twins, who aren't even charlton fans btw, have been created by the ticket office using AI instead of sending out people's tickets. And Orient have Boxpark!Callumcafc said:

I'm not ITK about how many will be released or when - thats presumably down to Wembley, EFL, and the clubs, acting quickly. Maybe @Airman Brown has a view on what the weakest link would be delaying things?Valleysarr said:

But we're all ITK that there are currently 30,000+ unsold seats across the stadium, with multiple thousands in vacant blocks adjoining ours.6 -

I think there's a real feel good factor around the club at the moment & the future looks bright, regardless of Sunday's result!!Same as I think every London based club could get 35-40,000 most weeks in the PL, if given the stadium to do so, including Barnet and Bromley. As that is the nature of English football these days.Which means I do agree with you, there is great potential. But in the Championship you have a fair few clubs that average 25-40,000 on a regular basis. So until that happens, you need owners that step up.
Plonk Bromley in the Premier League and give them a 40,000 stadium and they will sell it out most weeks. That is where English football is at these days. In fact, the very fact they have no league history & therefore rivarlary baggage, means they’d sell it out even easier. Lots of football tourists would go, local ones & foreign ones.Charlton has lots of potential. But so does any club playing inside the M25 in this modern era. Difference is, Charlton at least has a much better foundation already in place than Bromley. But that doesn’t diminish the point that if a eccentric billionaire built a 40,000 capacity stadium at Earls Court, founded a club called Earls Court Rovers and bribed the PL for a place in PL ala Arsenal style in 1919, then they could get crowds of 30-40,000 depending on fixture. It wouldn’t be the most partisan ground in the country, but it would be full.10 -

Because the point is, there are easily enough foreign vistitors and floating football fans living in and around London to make an American style franchise football club a reality these days. Most PL clubs are reducing season ticket holders so that they can cash in on football tourists (UK & foreign based ones).I am not literally talking about Bromley or even Earls Court Rovers (😂) specifically. I am making a point about modern football crowds.0 - Sponsored links:

You’d have thought that somewhere there would have been some joined up thinking and once we’d sold out Wembley immediately released a further 6/8k to us. I thought that was the reason why Orient were selling block by block inching towards the halfway line so we could sweep up the unsold tickets.
I’m sure we will get more if only because the EFL will want to maximise their cut.7 -
Anyone else feeling a massive sense of pride at the speed we have sold our allocation ?COYRS13

Orient not going to general sale will hamper their sales quite a bit presumably. Looks like they go on sale to anyone on their database tomorrow so expect their sales to increase but looking unlikely to top 30k so hopefully we can sweep up some extras4

There was no choice other than to stop the general sale - and I would hazard a guess that the Police had something to do with that decision.follett said:Orient not going to general sale will hamper their sales quite a bit presumably. Looks like they go on sale to anyone on their database tomorrow so expect their sales to increase but looking unlikely to top 30k so hopefully we can sweep up some extrasI really don't think it will be close to 30k - maybe 25k tops for Orient.We'll have a big bunch of tickets released for sale on Thursday in addition to the 1400 confirmed today.Keep the faith.*this post was brought to you by ChatGPT*10
