So given their average home attendance is 667
Why can't we reconfigure the away section to hold a few more Orient fan's and still comply with any segregation requirements?
I know it's probably a lot of work for just a few more ticket sales but it would mean a lot to those fans and it would improve the atmosphere in the ground which is what we always hear the management and players going on about.
Failing that does anyone in those flats do airb&b? it's that desperate. 😁

I asked the very same question on the other board to both the podcast guys and the orient hour people so that Porter would be asked the question when he appeared on either show and it got ignored both times.

Still we wouldn't want to ask a proper question which would increase our sales and bring in more people for fear of upsetting Porter. This is why I am starting to think neither is worth listening to anymore, proper club stooges.

Whilst not generally one to defend the radio podcast thingys against claims of stoogery, I'm not sure this is the case here.

It's a perfectly reasonable question, can't see anyone taking offence at that.

How do you propose the ground is segregated? The cost of works to segregate the fans, would included, probably need for extra/ segregated turnstiles, toilets, catering etc.

The cost is likely to be far more than the extra income the club would obtain from selling the extra seats made available..

This is going to be interesting. Hats and judicial wigs will be doffed if he can get himself off of this one.

I reckon he's currently trying to nobble the jury.

Does the league set down a minimum entitlement for away fans at all?
Not thar I'm aware of, as some clubs struggle to take more than a couple of dozen to longer away games hardly seems worthwhile.

Is this similar to the minimum drinking entitlement enforced at all Glasgow boozers?
