That’s shocking.

Funnily enough I’m not too fussed about it. Can’t reallt be angry at Orient for this one. As far as I’m aware their ground is some 3000 capacity dump. Wasn’t too shocked that tickets were hard to come by. Could have got one in the home end but didn’t really fancy that.

Happy to watch in the supporters lounge. Have no idea why BT sport don’t do the day pass thing which Sky does.

Sure but you could see this coming a mile off, plans should have been made to recognise the likes of you earlier.

I’ve followed some advice on here and modbro with a vpn should see you right.

1. First time in history of Orient an away league game gas seen demand so outstrip supply

2. What plans? Can't have loyalty scheme when most gaMrs are pay on gate or home club sold tickets, not Orient

Hopefully your passengers wont notice how erratic you will be driving.

1) No it isn’t.

2) We’ve coped with such events in the past by issuing vouchers at the away games.

Like I said, I’m not too miffed. I understand that it’s an unfortunate circumstance that this particular game happens to be in the smallest dump in the league.

Personally, I fully suspect this one to go to the wire. League champion will be decided next Saturday. And if I’m wrong, I really won’t care! I’ll join in with the promotion party against Braintree (which I bought tickets for two months ago!!)

You’re a more understanding man than I am.

Agreed, it won’t be decided tomorrow. Sadly.

1. A bare denial but I note that you didn't actually name a league game that was do over subscribed.

I am in a land far far away but will be listening to Dulcet Dave

Listening to Dulcet Dave in the wee hours in OZ.

The hour of reckoning is approaching!

1) Orient fans will remember away games in the past when demand for tickets outweighed supply.

2) Too little too late, that’s exactly my point.

I'm going. Doubt it'll be anywhere near settled today but had to be there.

I'm a bit like that but will probably keep glancing at the scores. Squeaky bum time, big time.

Spennymoor Town of course, as they host NLN Champions elect (Chorley) and Spennymoor Town could seal their place in the NLN play offs tomorrow

I will however be at Solihull tomorrow, so you can come and meet me in person. I'll be easily recognisable as I will be the one glued to the radio commentary of the Spennymoor game. Bar opens at 12 noon, so see you then

Doubt it will happen, but I hope Spennymoor turn Chorley over and give Stockport a reprieve for top spot. The Hatters have wobbled since their Trophy semi loss, but their long suffering fans must be due a step back upwards by now.

I’ll be watching our game in a pub. No ST this year, so no chance of nabbing a Solihull ticket.

I am going on Sat & it would be wonderful to attend a game which would be one long celebration.
In the absence of that will gladly settle for the O's winning the league against Braintree.

My situation exactly mirrors this. I want one long party on Saturday afternoon ( and another one at Wembley next month). I will be watching on TV through clenched fingers and probably at times, from behind the sofa whilst listening to Dulcet Dave at the same time!

8.54am. Wetherspoons M40 Beaconsfield Services. My round.

Has anyone tried this before? Will it be in sync?

I’ve attempted it with the live-streams hosted by the club, for obvious reasons, but there so far out it’s not possible.

You really are a strange individual. Seem to get kicks from being a WUM on a Leyton Orient message board. Very bizarre behaviour.

Btw I had ticket stubs (x2) from both Barnet and Bromley. Actually I have stubs from nearly 20 away games this season. However, I still couldn’t get a ticket. Not Orient’s fault. Solihull ground is a tiny dump so getting tickets was always going to be difficult.

Your initial post, making a dichotomy between the “loyal fans” who are going and those who aren’t is nothing more than a blatant WUM. You already got your ar*e handed to you on that Joey Barton thread so now you start a new one to wind people up. Really weird behaviour. Get a new hobby.

Could not get a ticket. Too nervous to watch on tv. Will turn on tv at 4.50 in hope

It is pure luck that some of us got tickets. Fans like you Esteban thoroughly deserved one.

1. So you can't name a league game where demand has exceeded supply to same extent this one did.

2. You can't suggest anything the club could have done better ?

Face it you just want to whinge and have no workable solutions

I suppose I could pause the transmission on my TiVo and synchronise but then a goal could be shown on the phone that I am using to look at the Salford result. Think I will just have the BT Sport commentary. Having a full on Orient day at home right now as they are showing a re-run of the Harrogate game on 4KHD ahead of the main event. Hopefully the pixelation that plauged the rugby this weekend doesn't recur.

Will be listening to the commentary, and while I’ve a ticket for Saturday and would love to see us win promotion then, I’d settle for that match being a celebration were we to land it today, but am not expecting that to happen.
