How can we stop them?
....
Why would you want to stop them. The extra income would be a great boost to the club
#BTeamBoycott
You may choose not to go as is your right. Indeed, I will not be attending, but why try to deprive the club of much needed money from others who have no interest in a boycott and the chance for the club to make new fans.

Some things are more important than a few quid. If 2,000 did turn up (I'd be surprised if more than 50 did) it would work out at around £14,000 which isn't going to make or break the club right now.

Every penny counts. That £14,000 could pay for lids for the coffee or for hot air dryers in the toilets but in all seriousness, the club are not in a position to turn away support. They have initiatives to encourage fans to attend.
Whether 2000 Ajax fans attend an Orient game or not is going to have no effect on the existence of a competition that drew a capacity crowd to it most recent Wembley Final

If they go, I’ll go. A chance to build a small link between the 2 clubs and fanbases.

This would be great if it happened.
I'm surprised the club hasn't tweeted something to them to indicate that they're more than welcome (especially if they bring Stroopwaffels)

Can’t see it being a problem, shame they will see a meaningless game with fringe players getting a run out. Hardly an advert for lower league football. I hope those that do come enjoy it. Welcome.

Nice bit of free publicity and chance to build some links, win-win. Nice easy start for Fletcher, experiment with the squad, no pressure on the result and get an usually high turnout for a nothing game.

I think they should be allowed to come
I can’t see how LOFC can afford to turn them away.

My view entirely.
Assuming there's no hooliganism & I don't believe there will be, this is good for our club.
Build some links & maybe one day get 1 or 2 of their players on loan!

I haven't said that the club should turn them away (not sure that would even be legal- you'll have to fill us in there). I'm just saying that anyone who cares about the integrity of the football pyramid should choose to boycott this game.

Yes people can choose of course, but I believe the right thing to do is to not support this competition.

Why would it not be legal. Club have right to refuse anyone entry to their property, as you do in relation to your home.
There is no general legal right of entry to private property

That's why I was asking for your advice. Could they not claim discrimination based on their nationality? I know you enjoy this stuff.

The Haringay game is being replayed the week before on 29th Oct Spen’
So hopefully the Ajax fans will still come to our game on 5th Nov.
