why wouldnt they ?
I really think you were hoping for more , Questioning her ability to do a job which you highlited as " a paid role " came over very snide ! Maybe youd had a few then made an edit when you woke up ?

I rarely drink so your assumption is wrong. I edited the post as I did not want it to be seen as a dig. At some away matches their SLOS seem to be visible outside. Maybe at Orient it is more a bridge between fans & the Board. I doubt if any new fans would want to get past a load of middle aged fans drinking beer to find her.

Have a memory of getting off the supporters coach at Donny years ago and their SLO greeted us with a smile, pointed us at the gate we had to use, told us where'd he'd be if anyone had questions, etc..top quality. think thats rare though, dont think I've seen any others at the 40 odd grounds I've been to.

I think the Donny SLO also had a folder which they send out in advance to the visiting club with details such as pubs, restaurants, hotels etc nearby. Maybe he was the exception & i would assume why this thread was started by Lifelong fan

Cant personally think of a reason id need the services of an slo when club is so open and easily contactable.

But the point is, they wouldn't have to. Keren is always on the door.

But would say a 16 year old new muslim fan want to go in there?

I have no idea. But what's your point? Do we have to have a separate SLO for every possible demographic that may not want to visit the place where the SLO works? And why can that same 16 year old new muslim fan not approach the SLO via email/text / phone or at an away match? Sorry, I really don't understand what point you are trying to make.

Why not, as long as they don’t mind the thick waft of egg that hangs over the place.

Can you be in the Supporters Club & be SLO as you are visible only to the converted. For example new fans would not go in LOSC on their first visit

why wouldnt they ?

Sounds rather patronising to me
Like im not capable of seeing where the stadium is from the bus set down point .
Part of the fun is looking for the floodlights
And finding your way there
