Crowd Prediction

7271 with non shows in the family stand. I have seen lots of male adults without kids there this season. Wonder if these kids exist?

There are shed loads of groups of blokes in there without kids. The club should have done something about that, not penalised those of us who do take kids along.

The usual six thousand & something for a sell-out plus one as I'll be there.

As said elsewhere, the club need to be pulling out all the stops to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

I have my boys every other weekend. That makes the number of games I take the eldest (8) too very low, but I still purchase a season ticket for him. I sit in the south, so not one of those missing from the north, but I imagine this is a similar situation to many dads.

Can only say what I see and there are groups of blokes in the north who haven’t had access to their kids all season.

Hope your boy is with you for this weekend 👍

A mate of mine is desperately trying to get a ticket for Saturday if anyone has one ??
I reckon we should get at least 7,000 plus...............very disappointing if not.

I reckon it will be well over 7,000. I hope the club print extra match day programmes for this game because I can see them selling out fast .

This is true. So many blokes without kids ever in the north stand. How is this even possible?

I've got no idea. Some of them are easily in their 60s, possibly older, so chances of them even having kids under 18 are remote.

The club should insist on proof of identity and age for anyone claiming a child's price season ticket.

Maybe if they'd done that previously, the system wouldn't have been abused and there wouldn't have been a need to penalise the genuine young season ticket holders.

Well, nearly all the east stand is for home, so surely this time, we must hit at least 7000. Should be closer to 8000.

I would argue Orient brought this on themselves...

https://www.leytonorient.com/news/2017/ ... ification/

As such, only applications including at least one adult/senior and one under 18 will be accepted and processed for this stand.

It's likely that some decided they still wanted to sit there and complied with the above paying £9 for a fictitious child and saving around £100 on sitting elsewhere. I don't see this changing next season either as the £59 + £214 is less than £335 for the South Stand.

I hasten to add that I sit in the East Stand, so am not doing the above!

True but if properly enforced they would have to get a proper season ticket.

That said there are plenty of ways around it.

Over 8000 I reckon. Got over that for Peterborough and Arsenal matches although they weren't league matches. Would be great to see a real full house
