Get rid of the tired old catering options such as tea, coffee, burgers and pies. Revamp the menu with stuff younger people are interested in like Prime, west African cuisine and vegan options.

Of course, an alternative to getting rid of the oldies who have supported the O’s through thick and thin - unlike these younger “Johnie come lateleys” - is to get rid of all the Spuds fans and other assorted n’er do wells.

Their time has come and gone. Thanks for all the fish and all that kind of thing.

Scrap concession prices so that hardworking families don’t subsidise those who don’t have mortgage, but do enjoy free travel and inflation-linked pensions. Its pretty crazy that, in the absence of means testing, the squeezed worker pays more than those with often substantially more disposable income.

I’ve already retired from watching Orient to let a few Johnny-come-latelies have a go (until they get bored and it all inevitably goes tits up again), but think Caca’s onto something here.

Actually a serious point that applies to so much.

Only pass sideways and backwards. A few will have a heart attack and the rest just won’t come back.

But it’s basically bollox though. I’d like to see how many pensioners have inflation linked pensions - unless it’s a reference to the pitiful state pension. Most pensioners have been part of “hardworking families” and paid taxes and NI which helped support the older members of society while they were working. It seems relatively new that some “younger” people see older people as a drain on resources and are unwilling to support them as my generation did. As for the sweeping generalisation that older people often have more disposable income, well that’s all it is. Lazy stereotyping. I wonder what your views will be when you’re of pensionable age…….

I probably won't reach pensionable age because the capital hoarding oldies and the policies that suck up to them will keep me working til 80.

Speaking as a rapidly-becoming-oldie - If the youngs could actually be bothered to vote rather than just playing angry birds then we might not be in such a mess.

I believe it is now time for our Legacy fans to step aside so the new generation can drive the club further up the leagues.

Legacy fans are taking up all the seats and space in the supporters club, taking too long in the bogs and when purchasing refreshments and in the club shop. They also cant do simple things like use a website to buy tickets or walk down stairs at an acceptable speed. They dont use public transport.

They also moan a lot and stink.

We need an Orient Legacy Fans Retirement Transition Strategy (OLF-RTS) Those who cannot amend their ways, should make way, so that the club can progress. I think each fan over 60 should be assessed on the points above and perhaps face a financial penalty should they fail to make the grade.

I welcome the action from the council of making it increasingly difficult to park in the local area. The club should take action an remove the concession for OAPs.

Any other ideas as i haven't really thought this through?
If that is what you want go support West Ham, Spurs or Arsenal. I will support the Os until the day I pop my cloggs. :lofc: :lofc: :lofc: :x :x :x
Most modern fans are capable of supporting more than one side. No shame in it.
So are most LEGACY fans. Ageist!!!!!!
