Brisbane Rd- Saturday 3pm kick off

I will bear it if the money helps the O's,but like so many I looked forward to the old normal fortnightly matchday at Brisbane Road.I just love the experience of it.
What have they done to our game Ma,what have they done to our game.(with acknowledgement to Melanie)

Seems to me that “ traditional” fans continue to be taken for mugs to a degree by the clubs and to an even greater extent the authorities that control the game.🙁

Yes, Mansfield is an international weekend with England playing Ireland at Wembley on the Sunday.

We have to take the TV money,therefore they in some way are our masters.I have Sky and TNT and will always have a season ticket at Orient and attend what games I can,at least 17-20 games a season plus any cup games I would like to attend.

Believe me dohnut,you will really miss being there,one of the reasons I trash my body on match days.TV does not compare at all and shows only part of what is going on especially those annoying long time close ups when the wider picture tells the story.

Can I have your midweek ticket? 

I will be going this Tuesday with son and brother in law, and if the Arsenal coach turns up late, Nigel will be really pleased 😂. We must have spent about £50 when Chelsea were late despite turning up at 6:55pm for a 7pm kick off.

The problem I have turning up on a wet, cold, windy Tuesday is paying £30 for a rearranged category A game.  Last season, the midweek games were £10 like the rearranged Os v Lincoln game.   And given there will be UEFA games on TV at the same time, I will probably just stay at home. 

As an aside, there are festivals, like South Facing at Crystal Palace who sell tickets at a discount if you turn up early.  The idea is that you are captive and will buy food and drink to compensate for the early entry and it helps with queues.  And for me it works, because I do buy food and drinks and I want to see the support acts.  Also Arsenal have beer offers to get people in earlier.  Which again works for me, as I generally turf up early.

Does he like the sky deal or just accepting the inevitable.  Time will tell but my guess is that overall the club won’t make much money out of it.

NowTV on the other hand will profit no doubt.  I’ve started using because of the deal and actually like it.  Bet I’m not alone.  Not the same as going for sure as redshank points out, but a sight more convenient and cheaper by miles. For less money I get so much more sport. Couple of cans of Guinness 0.0, snacks, comfortable arm chair.  Could get used to it.

Being Cyprus based!!! £10 for the stream for non Sky games. The bonus being like Saturday after a while I switched off and watched the cricket instead. Could only take so much of that.
