Its pretty crazy that, in the absence of means testing, the squeezed worker pays more than those with often substantially more disposable income.

Actually a serious point that applies to so much.

Right.

Old people don't make policies that pander to themselves.

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.

Most modern fans are capable of supporting more than one side. No shame in it.
