How many to orient

[moynkeepthefaith]

Our original allocation of 450 is sold out and we are hoping for a further 200 today but to re-iterate you CAN pay on the day. I just wanted to know I had mine in my hands before travelling.

Additional allocation has arrived today - thanks to Geraint for fantastic service.

M25 - leave at Junction 26 (the one before the M11)
Take the B172 to Theydon Bois
Park at the station (small car park) or for free on the west side of the green
Tube to Leyton in about 20 mins

We did this for the Olympics and it works a treat.

Might do this then. Saves paying £15 for the train to MK. Thanks

If you have a car full of people it makes sense.

M1 south of MK can be busy but should be OK Saturday morning. Northern section of M25 from M1 junction eastbounds towards M11 is the quietest stretch so you should be fine.

£2.20 to park at the Theydon Bois tube station at the weekend then £1.50 each way on the tube using contactless payment.

I'm parking in the West of London and getting the tube across. Much easier than navigating the M25 when coming from the M4.

Phoned and ordered mine. Apparently Orient may only have one turnstile open for away fans on Saturday.

They've got the option for exiles of either picking them up at the ground or being posted.

One turnstile will be a nightmare and possibly dangerous

Also I like a lot of people (500 odd clearly) have bought tickets in advance mainly because of the fiasco of getting in last year so unless they are having a 2nd turnstile for people who've bought in advance what's the point.

If we were playing some tinpot club - Borehamwood for instance or a genuinely cash strapped club; a Braintree/Guiseley type team I'd understand it.

For a proper but also well off club like Orient this is simply inexcusable if that's right and it could well lead to unnecessary trouble.
