Fleece the fans time has arrived in a new guise. Marvellous.

f*cking piss take really.

£33 to sit in the crumbling east stand for the bigger games.

And another level to mean the more well off fans have priority access. Good timing though, not like everyone has rocketing bills and mortgages and that.

Bollocks to that.

Must be really expecting a successful season having limited season ticket sales and now introducing categories / priority membership. Could be a bit embarrassing if we're 19th in November and no one's rushing for tickets.

First time in 28 years, no season ticket for the FTC's as we missed the deadline.

Couldn’t justify a ST this year and really not sure if I’ll make it to any non cat c games, if I even get a chance of getting those tickets. £29 for a cat A game I.e. the games really worth seeing is probably also out of budget considering I’d have spent £60 on travel and ticket before I’ve left the house. Maybe get to one of those.

Really deflating news tbh

This will be why they restricted the successful ST sales, more money to be had this way. It had better be spent on a AAA quality striker...

Have a season ticket so this doesn’t impact me directly.

However, if I’m moved from my season ticket seat to accommodate away fans for any of those “Category A” games then I’ll be posting the season card back through the club office postbox with a note telling them where to shove it.

Would Fleetwood tickets really be in more demand than Lincoln?

Rotten idea and not something I expect or associate with the O's

The two cat c games are there to justify the hikes. They usually do football for a fiver a few times a season which is effectively these but double the price

The category C matches are both on a Tuesday.

I beg to differ, it arrived yesterday with that dreadful shirt

Bet Lincoln still bring more on a Tuesday than Fleetwood do on a Saturday

Long gone are the days one could arrive at Brissie at 2.30 buy a ticket at the turnstiles and wearing any old red and white scarf stand at the front of the east side cheering the Os on.

Oh well, I suppose this is what is called progress but I sometimes long for the past times and for sure Mrs NES does.

But finally COYOs

If you want a successful club it has to be paid for ……up the O’s

Would help if Mr Devlin had sold the ground naming rights which he should have done months ago and should be a major source of income. Instead he’s paid a consultancy to get absolutely nowhere.

So if I'm a member, how many tickets am I allowed to buy for friends, I'm trying to introduce to the O's or do they need to be members also?

This is all about the away ticket prices we can charge.

It's a really smart move.

We're stepping up on and off the pitch.

Not doing great for money at the moment, so not the most welcome news. It’s a shame that I prob won’t be able to see too many games at Brisbane Road this season, but as others have alluded to, a competitive League 1 squad comes at a price.

Anyone know if League 1 games ever get shown on Sky/BT? (I share a relative’s password )

Apologies if I’ve missed an announcement or something, but I thought the stadium was already known as The Matchroom Stadium

Well it’s been The Breyer group stadium for about 4 years. Can’t find a sponsor this season after that deal ran out.

Yes, of course, The Breyer Group stadium………..It will always be Brisbane Road for me and I suspect most fans, but I agree with Top of the JES, why hasn’t Devlin found a sponsor for the stadium rights, we and most clubs to be fair seem to search for sponsors for pretty much everything these days.

Fine by me. Like the idea of £10 Tuesday night games - same price as the stream, which it’s in competition with.

Couldn’t agree more.

Who's a 'One Orient Plus' member then?

But this means we can charge all those Portsmouth/Charlton/Derby fans £33.

This isn't about ripping off our fans. It's about ripping off the away fans.
