Every one of course! Seriously, probably only Wolves. Although you'd like to think that if we, say, needed to win the last game against Tranmere to be champs or to win automatic promotion, that we'd manage to fill the place

Sorry maylandOs but the only time Orient was sold out in the last few years was Arsenal in the cup so I can't see it happening, unless there is some title winning match or promotion party match and even then not sure.
(Brisbane Rd capacity: 9271. Highest attendance this season: 7123 v Preston but Orient lost that so some of the floating voters may stay away!)

I would like to think both Brentford and Wolves will be sell outs
I think we will also get decent crowd vs Posh

I can't see a match on Sky being a sell out sadly even people on our Forums have said they won't bother going not they know it is on TV.

What more has Orient and uncle Barry got to do to get punters through the door.A friend of mine who supports Scumend says there fans can't believe how low our crowds are compared to there's,and they have lots of Narthen clubs in their league with little support.

Well in fairness Southends catchment area far reaches our one plus we have to contend with Premier league almost on our doorstep

If we can hang in the top two the momentum will build and we'll start to see some sell-outs.
Pretty confident Brentford and Wolves will sell out, also the last home game.
MK away anyone? 9,000 away support for a promotion party?

Same place when they all turned up for the play off finals and the Arsenal match.

Ha ha it's true, I can't convince my dad to go watch Orient unless he says they are at Wembley or playing a Premiership team. But he is a Yank so doesn't quite get the magic of lower league football!

I think there are other factors in Orient's steadily declining support.

If I wanted to buy a small club and asked myself which of these two had the better potential in terms of gate receipts, I'd have to go for Southend (there's nothing like money to focus the mind huh?). A good catchment area with virtually no competition. If they were in our current league position, I'm sure they'd be getting nearly double our gates, painful though it is to say that.
