Anyone know when the Wembley tickets are on sale

Patience sweetheart.

On this topic, I hope the club will be arranging block bookings for those of us who like to make a bit of a racket. I remember the 2014 final atmosphere being a little dull with everyone spread everywhere.
Thanks in advance.

The only news is that we have the east end -so it’s hats and sunnies all round.

Notice on the website saying for everyone to have a bit of patience. So I'd reckon Saturday would be good guess. Don't think people will have a problem getting a ticket we took 28,000 last time and Wembley was still only half full.

I can see us taking 35,000.

I’ve already rustled up 12 non regulars to scream and shout for us.

This.

Obviously everyone that wants a ticket will get one but need to get the genuine fans in the same section(s). Limit it to 1 ticket per ST holders / one plus members, maybe 2 if they really must, for the initial allocations so we are altogether.

Yep. The 'core' support of 10k or so need to be bunched together, otherwise it'll feel very flat. But compared to our last play off final, I have had way more interest in coming from O's curious friends. I think we can take a very decent number and convert a few more to becoming fully fledged fans.

Wembley is always dead regardless

Should also be noted that the atmosphere at Orient games nowadays isn’t even comparable with 2014.

You have to hand it to the new generation and say that they make way more noise than we ever did.

Was watching youngsters with the drum last night and they were superb keeping atmosphere going

Should still be planning to keep the core support together.

If 1 ST holder buys 5 tickets for him and his Spurs/West Ham friends on a day trip, we lose whatever atmosphere we could create.

Can't argue with this that.

Can't be doing with all that banging.

Have people forgotten the trailblazing done for these youngsters by OFF and his drum in the East Stand.

There is a terrible atmosphere at Wembley regardless

The Wembley experience is awful.

Playing music after goals and then drowning out the celebratory singing by the winners blasting pony pop music.

Awful beer which also requires open wallet surgery make it a poor day out.

It feels so sanitised and American now.

But, if promotion is secured, who cares, eh.

Agreed. At least the ST holders/members have an interest and will generate some atmosphere. The 1,000s of dickheads who haven’t stepped foot in the ground fancying a day out at Wembley on the piss can get f*cked.
