Still struggling to understand how these made it to general sale...?

Why , we arent a massively supported club, we arent top of the league & about to win a Title , so 2000 tickets isnt easy to shift . Its only Charlton

Very local derby, 30,000 in attendance, on the back of our best season probably ever. I''m amazed that less than half of our season ticket holders have snapped up tickets.

Agreed. As a rule of thumb, must clubs in L1 & L2 take c.5-10% of their home support to away matches across the course of a season.

O’s average tickets sold last season was 7,844 so removing Devlin’s dodgy accounting to take it to the 6,800 we all know it really is, O’s would take anywhere from 340-680 across the season.

Chuck in its a London derby, first match of the season (and in a higher league) then I think anything over 2,000 is incredibly impressive.

Regardless, it will be a good day out and I’m looking forward to the short tube journey to North Greenwich and then walking to the ground, doing a few boozers along the way.

Give over. We usually take 1,500 to the likes of Colchester, Cambridge, Barnet etc.

People are on holiday

Prove it.

Indeed. Big local matches or ‘derby’ games.

Hartlepool, Mansfield etc sees the 350-700.

Was that not a midweek televised game in the depths of winter?

I think the O's will sell all their allocation

We took 9,000 to Arsenal?

That evening is all very hazy but sure it was only about 5,000.

9k

That 9k weren’t all Orient fans. Just like the amount Orient took to the last 2 Wembley trips

Still 9k & we've always had 2 club fans. We really need to grow our 1 club fanbase

Can you please confirm this? There's no way we had 9,000 tickets. If we had, I wouldn't have to have gone to the lengths I did to secure one.

I have always believed it was 9000

Google it, just read a report says 9000
