Genk Posted 19 October, 2009 Author Posted 19 October, 2009 Got my tickets today ar around 10am, guy in the ticket office said there was plenty left.
cavey300 Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Just got off the phone to the ticket office and managed to book 4 more tickets without any problems, there's still a few left.
Iowsaintsfan Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 We have another 600. So final allocation = 3,100. just seen that on the OS http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1830960,00.html
oldsarum Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 We have another 600. So final allocation = 3,100. as per this link http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1830960,00.html Anyone who hasn't got a ticket and is thinking of going will need to get themselves sorted out ASAP.
saints_is_the_south Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 We've got a further 600 - http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/page/TicketNews/0,,10280~1830960,00.html So we now have 3,100 tickets - Brighton were given the whole of the East Stand (http://www.leytonorient.com/page/HomeTickets/0,,10439~1578698,00.html). Just checked their stadium guide bit & the East Stand hols 3,592 so I wonder why they haven't given us all of it too

Charlton must have a full allocation in Orient's biggest attendance but only took 2,794.
saints_is_the_south Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Probably segregation? But if we were given the whole stand there wouldn't be any need for segregation surely?
RedAndWhite91 Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Got tickets today - 4 more for the total.
70's Mike Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 But if we were given the whole stand there wouldn't be any need for segregation surely? except where it meets the other 2 stands it is joined to?
saints_is_the_south Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 except where it meets the other 2 stands it is joined to? Didn't think it was joined to any other stands. As i thought. Oh well, 3k + is still a great effort to be taking up there.
.comsaint Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 That is bloody terrific away support lads. Well done!
KK the 2nd Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Just bought mine. Adds another three. Should be a good day out.
Northam Girls Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 That is bloody terrific away support lads. Well done! and lasses please :-)
70's Mike Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Didn't think it was joined to any other stands. As i thought. Oh well, 3k + is still a great effort to be taking up there. Thanks for putting me right I was going from a 30 year old memory, it will be great to go to Brisbane Road again, it holds brillant memories for us old boys
.comsaint Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 and lasses please :-) lol - and lasses...of course. Wouldn't want to upset our wonderful legion of female footy fanatics! Seriously - that is a wonderful away following for any club in this division. We could have (and almost certainly will have) 3,100 fans at the game. If the boys reward that with yet another 3 points - the knock-on effect for SMS should add a couple of thousand bums-on-seats as well as ££££'s in the coffers. Top stuff!

Ain't it good to keep finding positives to post. beats the last 5 years sh*t
simonsaints1 Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 A nice little drive from Barnet to Leyton for me. Great memories of previous trips there.
Winchester_Saint Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Ordered 4 tickets including travel this afternoon at about 2pm and the guy on the phone said there were only 11 tickets left! Guessing that may have been before the latest allocation of 600 came through though? Either way it should be an awesome day out! Bet we will drown the home fans out too with our singing! COYR!
Saints foreva Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Anyone else having trouble getting on the online ticket sales website?
S-Clarke Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Anyone else having trouble getting on the online ticket sales website? their ticket system has been down most of the afternoon can't book at the ticket office, over the phone, or online.... great!
Fergie Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 Didn't think it was joined to any other stands. As i thought. Oh well, 3k + is still a great effort to be taking up there. We're gonna blow that roof off for sure!!! Better just take it off now!!! Going to be an amazing away day, cannot wait. 3 points please Mr Pardew!
Fergie Posted 19 October, 2009 Posted 19 October, 2009 I think we also need to sing out... ..."i've got a shed thats bigger than this...i've got a shed thats bigger than this...its got a door and a window, a door and a window, i got a shed thats bigger than this" Remember singing it at coventry the first year they moved into the ricoh, was a pretty good laugh!!!
Sour Mash Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 I think we also need to sing out... ..."i've got a shed thats bigger than this...i've got a shed thats bigger than this...its got a door and a window, a door and a window, i got a shed thats bigger than this" Remember singing it at coventry the first year they moved into the ricoh, was a pretty good laugh!!! One of the worst football songs of all time.
rick1976.4.38 Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 sour mash,have to disagree,when you go to some of the sh**holes in this league its a great song to sing,and a laugh,get out more young man and enjoy yourself with saints.cant wait for orient,with the support we are taking it will feel like a home game.coyr
Charlie2008 Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 One of the worst football songs of all time. ...but very appropriate when we go to Plymouth's Home Park! :cool:
bungle Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 One of the worst football songs of all time. Agreed.
Badger Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 As i thought. Oh well, 3k + is still a great effort to be taking up there. Is that not their main stand,or is it a replacement for the terrace we crammed full in 1978 when we clinched promotion and the wall collapsed ?
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 Is that not their main stand,or is it a replacement for the terrace we crammed full in 1978 when we clinched promotion and the wall collapsed ? They've had their ground completly redeveloped in recent years. I suspect the terrace you are talking about used to be where the new North Stand was? A open bank of terracing. This is what the ground looks like now anyway:
RedAndWhite91 Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 Wouldn't mind living in one of those flats that sit in the corner of the ground, that would be cool. Is it possible as we are taking 3,000+ that we could be split into two grounds, i.e the one behind the goal AND the main stand? Does anyone have their ticket to hand so that they can see what stand it says they are in?
Iowsaintsfan Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 urrently away supporters are housed in one side (towards the South End) of the Main Stand, where there are a couple of supporting pillars that may impede your view. Around 1,000 fans can be accommodated in this area. I have been to Orient a number of times and have always been impressed by the state of the pitch. Even in January it is immaculate and at the start of the season you could almost play snooker on it! The Shire Foods Chicken Balti Pie (£2) is available inside. Mick Hubbard adds; 'Brisbane Road (aka the Matchroom Stadium) is a fairly good ground these days. However the newish West Stand, must be one of the ugliest in the league. It looks attractive from outside the ground, but the inside is a bit of a carbuncle. The lower tier is normal seating but these sit beneath a bland set of offices and hospitality boxes. Overall, I found Orient to be a friendly place, and a good place to watch a game. With the tube station being nearby, and only a few stops from the City, it is easy to access. We got on a tube after the game in no time at all. A small queue does form from the direction of the ground, but we walked past this and simply walked into the station from the other side found this though it only says 1000

RedAndWhite91 Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 with the Capacity: 9,271 we are going to have a third anyway! That is well good!!! I knew it wasn't a huge ground but 9,000... Taking 3,000 of our terrific away fans, it's gonna feel like we are at home!!
krissyboy31 Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 with the Capacity: 9,271 we are going to have a third anyway! And going on their support this season, at least 2/5 of the attendance.
saints_is_the_south Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 We are in the East Stand which runs along the side. It holds 3,600 & we've got 3,100 of it.
Deppo Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 Wouldn't mind living in one of those flats that sit in the corner of the ground, that would be cool. Is it possible as we are taking 3,000+ that we could be split into two grounds, i.e the one behind the goal AND the main stand?

FWIW can't wait for Orient, all day on the beer and 3000 Saints stood up roaring the team onto another win
Fan The Flames Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 So no terracing left then, thats a shame. Been to LO loads over the years watching Plymouth or Brighton and the away end is always moving around the ground, haven't been since its been done up. Barry Hearne is known to accomodate a good away crowd by turfing the local out so it would be good to get the whole of the East Stand. I went there a few years back with Brighton and they were given the whole Oliver Road stand when it was terracing and the home fans were moved to the uncovered away end. The roof made a terrific noise, when can make more noise than them so it should be a good atmosphere and hopefully another three points.
rallyboy Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 I saw them play Crewe in early 09 from roughly the spot that pic is taken. The away support that day was about 150, dotted around the remains of the middle of that crumbling stand. Orient have a smart looking training facility across the road and the main stand that was rebuilt is good, the rest of the ground is pretty average, I don't recall any great noise, and by taking that number, we will own the ground!
Pilsmer Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 I've just got 3 tickets for the game and the bloke on the phone said that there's 185 left.
RedAndWhite91 Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 C'mon another 185 people, where are you!?
Giordano Posted 20 October, 2009 Posted 20 October, 2009 it was the only match in London that day due to the bad weather.West Ham turned up,bit of a pitch invasion at the end,5000 saints there and it was on MOTD.Watched it on espn a couple of months ago.wasnt it 1985? I remmber orient in the cup very well....jampacked we were, urine flowing down the terracing people couldnt mopve and noone knew where the bogs where anyway...started off loads of the old time songs too..."i carnt read" etc, lots of trouble and yes the rumour was some got stabbed, got bushwhacked by four guys on the bridge outside with my mate but gave good account of ourselves...was wearing my cut-off faded jean jacket with winged saints hells angel style on the back plus other saints "patches"..was like a walking target i guess but didnt give a toss those days following saints........if the atmosphere is half as good as that then this will be another memorable away day...
