I'm just glad something is being done. If it was left to the rest of us, it wouldn't resort any further than moaning about things on here. You can't go on the pitch, simple as that. Should imagine the authorities have told them to get a grip pronto otherwise you won't be any fans in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has stopping selling tickets to Leyton Orient away to everyone apart from season ticket holders in person got to do with the protests at home games?

Frankies6 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 I'm guessing the club has been contacted by the FA regards pitch invasions and tennis balls being chucked on the pitch... Damned if they do, dammed if they don't..I'm sure fines and banning orders used to be given out to anyone encroaching on the pitch and missiles being chucked so I feel the club is in a no win situation here but could they allow the pitch invasions to carry OK without being fined heavily from higher bodies..

Well of course I know the answer to my own question. Just now, deyres42 said: Think there is probably an element of trying to make things awkward for PTB and their supporters. And the answer is this. It's not something done because the authorities have told them to get a grip. I can't see how the Leyton Orient decision has got anything to do with any safety concerns of GMP or is in response to any EFL threat. It's 100% been done to spite fans and fan groups.

I think they will have been told to get a grip on home fixtures. PTB might help themselves and others a bit more if they properly condemned the invasions rather than half heartedly IMO.

I can just visualise the first oap season ticket holder in the main stand to lob a tennis ball on the pitch being hauled away by men in black. I haven't any tennis balls so it won't be me.

I will guarantee 100% that GMP liaison officer who deals with Latics will now be telling the club that unless things change they either need to pay for a higher police presence within the ground or the club need to control who is attending and make those attending identifiable. They will also have slapped the club with a huge bill for having to provide an extra police presence last Saturday at short notice. Efl will also be in the ear of the club now as they govern the league. Away games will now come under scrutiny by the local force due to anticipated problems, the home clubs will be billed for having to have police in the grounds too. So it will have a snowball effect sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be aware that a protest is being organised at this game, and their fans are supporting us. They are just trying to silence the protests. Some f the kids who run onto the pitch aren't protesting. It's just something they have found out they can do, just for the sheer hell of it.

So it will have a snowball effect sadly. I’ve been talking specifically about tickets for the Leyton Orient. Are you honestly telling me that local police and the EFL will have advised the club to stop selling tickets to anyone other than season tickets holders when the game is only 3 days away and a number of fans will already have booked travel and possibly accommodation? What do you think those fans are going to do - cancel their travel plans or try and get tickets in the home end? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
