Title: Leyton Orient away……
Post by: Draytonian III on September 30, 2025, 03:13:00 pm
….. is on an international weekend and their 1st choice keeper has been in the recent England U21s squads, England have games against Moldova and Germany. I seem to remember rightly that teams can apply to get games postponed if their 1st choice keeper is called, almost certain it happened at Lincoln a few years ago. Does anyone know for certain ?

Their reserve keeper played in the last international break I believe.

I had already noticed that but after watching Richie Wellans meltdown the other I thought they might try and postpone it, there’s still time especially if they get beat this weekend, away to Cardiff

 I hope not, because I've already got the train tickets. To be honest, I was surprised at how cheap they were. Because I purchased a family rail card at £35 for a year, the total cost of train tickets for 3 of us, including to and from King's X, and the tube to and from Leyton, was just £117.

£39 each. Well pleased.

Those were the days. Incredible the cost to use a train now compared to most of Europe

I'm talking about the actual price of the tickets, after the deduction incurred by the family rail card.

Yes, but that didn't include tube fares, which were always quite expensive.

The train tickets I bought for for Leyton included the tube fare.

Tube tickets are fairly cheap really,however was just wondering how it works out at £39
 Each for 3 of you with a family rail card when I take it one is a child which would be a lot cheaper than a adult

For some reason, Vic, it's the same price for a child as an adult.

  A lot of Londoners just go for free on the underground and walk through the barriers according to reports.

Is there any coach transport to this game? I checked the travel section of this site but that's not been updated in a few years. I'm back in Donny for a trip and would love to get to that game.

Wow. We all thought Mansfield was a rip-off, but this is off the scale.

Adult £30

Senior £28

Child £13

It's cost me £71 for myself, my daughter, and my youngest grandson. It's time there was some sort of parity for admission prices.

Clubs like Orient are just charging what they want.

Don't forget they're charging their own fans it.

We charged £28 15 years ago.

Ticket prices have to go up just like everything else especially at this level.

While I agree with the sentiment, all clubs just charge what they want at the end of the day.

Halifax town charge £24 for an Adults ticket I think we are lucky we have a great owner

We certainly are. Teams like Orient I do find odd a little considering how many empty seats there is. Mansfield makes sense with their ground maxed out most games to then generate more income.

Our ground is half empty a really good value STs and then decent matchday prices.
