Get the beers in

Post by Ornchurch »

Looks like an option to get people back in grounds and reduce congestion in concourses is to allow supporters to drink in their seats again.

Another example of money over safety or about time supporters were treated as adults?

Be nice just to be allowed into the ground πŸ€” drinking in seats would be a bonus , can't see either happening this side of Christmas πŸ€”πŸ€”

Me neither BR , As far as I'm concerned ive written the season off as an event that I can attend sadly. Not got a season ticket this season so no chance getting to home games even if they do let in a % of the crowd. It's also obvious that away supporters will be banned until a vaccine is found and grounds open up again to 100% capacity. Hope we're still in the league by the time we all get back.πŸ‘

From the point of view of being able to attend any games next season yes, for the reasons I've mentioned in my previous post.

I thought that the Government were planning for a limited number of fans to return to sports stadiums from 1st October ??
Has this changed ??
If people can enter enclosed areas like supermarkets in unlimited numbers then I would have thought that spaced out seating in the open with fans in masks would be ok.

Yes there are plans but only 33% of the stadium (& no away supporters I would imagine) we have more than 33% of our capacity as season tickets.

This was a big reason why season ticket sales were so good considering people might not be able to get in for a while.

Good point but I would think that the club would need the income

Could be wrong, but thought the caterers pocketed it?

Sadly some adults often behave like kids, the venomous language at times is dreadful. I endured this taking my young children over there For many years and often had to front certain idiots over their behaviour.

This. Most people will be fine but you'll get the odd coked up knobhead throwing their beer around

Before about 5-6 years ago I could count on one hand the times I’d seen Orient sober.
In fact in the early to mid β€˜00’s it was deemed a necessity!
