Us charging £33 for a ticket is absolute robbery.

BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Fri Jul 21, 2023 9:52 am Just seen on twitter, the club are charging away fans £29 a ticket in advance and £33 on matchday.

Bolton are at £28.

Premier League teams can’t charge more than £30 for an away ticket.

Community club of the ordinary people owned by several multi millionaires at it again.

Premier League clubs all get over £100 million pounds a season in TV revenue - Leyton Orient got slightly less than this

Who owns the club is irrelevant, clubs have to earn money before they can spend it

Its either charge fans more or its pay staff less, and get less good players as a result

They’re taking the f*cking piss. Total money grab at well supported teams.

If they want the fans to stump up the money to keep the club sustainable then they can give the fans a seat on the board.

Doesn’t matter how much Premier League clubs get, there’s no reason to be charging away fans that much at league 1, especially with the ‘facilities’ we provide in the away end

A seat on the board ? What has that got to do with admission prices.

You pay your admission to watch a game for football, not to sit on the board.Its also a pointless gesture as fan has no powers and can be out voted by the other directors and fan would be bound by a duty of confidentiality so could not disclose to anyone what had been said in board meetings other than in any published boar minutes.



How do you propose the club pays its staff if it doesn't charge the admission prices it does?

In the last published accounts to June 2022, the club paying players L2 level wages lost £2.2m or approximately £50k a week. If fans want a football team to support, they are going to have to pay the costs, unless you want Orient run like Southend where players and staff don't get paid. Mind you I think it was tried at Orient a few years ago under FB and didn't go too well

I want us to stay affordable and would rather we stayed in L1 or L2 than be priced out of watching Orient like Fulham fans are in the PL

Not a problem selling ST for London PL clubs, but not all fans who followed them before they hit the big time can afford it now
