About 30-40 fans attended and Kent cam round and spent time chatting to all the fans there.
He never went near the kitchen, but breakfast was provided Free of charge by the Hotel.
Hopefully it will be repeated this season.

You sound more and more like Thor every day.

Funny about that.

10% rise would equate to £38.50

Not very good Arithmetic

Eerrr No Lucky, it was £25 a couple of seasons ago ( NOT £35 ) maybe in the 2016/17 season, but anyway it’s still quite an increase from £25 to £39 on two or three years.
Anyway, good luck to the club and I hope the restaurant is busy but the food does need to improve a bit to charge nearly £40 a head.

Hmm I was just going on that link I posted from the club that £35 charge it states is for 2017/18 and 2018/19

I know they did a few games with hospitality discount

Anyways i either eat at home before the game or grab an egg sarnie from the Royal Caff on the High Rd

Football clubs are businesses but they are different to pretty much every other business. Especially when you're a smaller club.

I accept that things like ticket prices, hospitality prices go up with inflation. I dont accept the way the club are going where everything is monitised, things like disabled season tickets are now 'brought in line with the rest of the league', a pre match meal costing £40, season tickets going up a ludicrous amount especially for kids, less than ideal shirt sponsors who obviously stumped up more money than anyone else, etc...

I think there's definitely a balance but we are slowly just tipping that balance the wrong way imo. At what point to fans start saying no? When theres someone guarding the side of pitch and charging £20 for every mobile phone photo? When the north stand is renamed the EDL family stand because they put in an offer we couldn't refuse?

Thats tongue in cheek but its a genuine concern of mine at the moment that this club is slowly moving away from being a 'family' and 'community' club thats open to every one, to somewhere which is used as a vehicle to monetise our fandom to the extreme at the expense of the values Orient have and should always have.
