Match Thread Away V Leyton Orient Saturday 28/8/2021 @ 3.00pm

Well it is, the biggest team in Div 2 are in the smoke on Saturday.

I'm amazed we didn't sell out days ago and are pushing for more tickets.

 

Go on Orient’s You tube channel and see the highlights. I did last night and both goals were very very heavy pressing with pace in midfield. Almost “ smothering” the player with the ball. Win it back , ball forward with pace..goal. That’s how it seemed to me. Like how we play and City will notice it straight away!

 

Forgot about Harrogate and Hartlepool. Yeh agree. Barrow probs too.

FGR not convinced, depends if we on a charge though. We ever filled that out before?

 

How dare we not sell out, hope Loyal doesn't find out.

 

Have we actually had fans allowed in before? What I do know is it's an absolute pain to get to by public transport. I was looking previously only from Bristol and even then it was something like 1.5 hrs / 2 hrs to get there even though it's only 30 miles away

 

Apparently they can allocate of just under 1,200 I would think as you say there or there about's we'd take that allocation up.

 

As I said yesterday. Tough.

You don’t live in this country and can’t expect to just be in with a chance of away tickets. You are the bottom of the list.
Second West
Away Members
Season ticket members
General public (UK)
Any others (that’s your group)

That’s fair and you need to accept it.

 

So you do not believe when someone like @Dubai bantam returns home for a short break because he has no season ticket the club shouldn't help him out, depending when he returns as I posted if its an away game with a limited away allocation then it would not be appropriate but if it was Port Vale, Oldham, Tranmere Etc would it be too much to ask, surely not.

 

Enjoy Rod, a good away venue too. Let’s hope for a resounding win. Safe trip!

 

I’ve consulted the loyalty handbook and rules state that unless internationally based fans attend 5 or more home games in person then applications for away tickets cannot be considered. Sorry

But those games are irrelevant because they wouldn’t sell out quickly and there would be tickets on general sale to non season ticket holders.

 

Without knowing the dates @Dubai bantam is returning to the UK we won't know which games he could attend, the games I quoted would certainly be easier for him to get a ticket, but I also stated "if its an away game with a limited away allocation then it would not be appropriate" so I'm not suggesting he should queue jump but a little involvement from the club of requested wouldn't go a miss for a long standing Bradford City fan who lives abroad and only comes back a few weeks a year.

 

No, I don’t think they should if no tickets are available

 

I'll get you a ticket @Dubai bantam. I got a priority away membership but only in case we get a big glamour cup tie, so I won't be needing it for league games

 

No way he should be able to swan back here and rock up in the queue in front of Second West regulars, I'm not having it. If you persist with this line of thinking I'm going straight to the T&A with my compo face. Fumming

 

I’m sorry mate but you’re contradicting yourself a little.
If a game has limited ticket supply you rightly say it’s not appropriate to jump the queue so the club wouldn’t assist.
In all other cases there would be enough tickets so no assistance required from the club.
As @Fordy117 says it’s just tough if can’t get a ticket.
I know ex pat fans of other clubs that can’t get tickets when they come home and nor would they expect to.

 

You and 500 others in your club then

 

I thought that's what I posted, if its limited away availability (priority) then I agree, if it's Port vale, Tranmere, Oldham, Rochdale the club should be able to accommodate the guy.

 

Why though?
What you are suggesting is ridiculous.

 

Not sure what's contradictive with regards my reply to you, I posted this " the games I quoted would certainly be easier for him to get a ticket" which would suggest if there were tickets left when priority, season ticket holder had purchase theirs then he wouldn't have a problem as you say they would be open to the general public.
Even my first post with regards @Dubai bantam https://bantamtalk.com/index.php?threads/away-v-leyton-orient-saturday-28-8-2021-3-00pm.5340/page-8#post-541704 I made this comment "A the present moment in time those who don't have season tickets for whatever reason are unlikely to get away tickets until priority, then season ticket holders have been accommodated unfortunately that's a fact of life".

Now talking about contradictions your highlighted comment is just that .
