Southstandoriginal Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Spare a thought for their fans tonight . Relegated from the league after 112 years and in total disarray off the pitch too. Only 3 years ago they were a penalty shootout away from reaching the Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redsfan Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Very sad for them and their fans. Its strange to think that just a few years ago they looked a really good side. Its not easy getting out of the Conference aa half the league these days is made up of former FL sides. But I am sure they will come back. I hope so. But then I hope others come back too and they can't all do it at the same time. Tranmere for one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

West Ham United have announced the cheapest Season Ticket in the Premier League at the Club’s new Stadium West Ham United are delighted to announce major price cuts across the board for Season Tickets for the first season at the Club’s magnificent new home on Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The key details are as follows: Every Season Ticket price band will see a reduction as the Club uses increased broadcast revenue to offer dramatically cheaper tickets to its supporters A new entry-level Band 5 adult Season Ticket will cost just £289 – the cheapest in the Premier League All Season Tickets for Under-16s will be cut to just £99 – the equivalent of only £5 per game A family of four can buy a Season Ticket for just £776 – the equivalent of £41 per match You paid for the above Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of my first City away games was at Brisbane Road in the early 80s. The City mob 'took' the home end. When the City roar went up, the home fans shuffled a little uneasily perhaps, folded their arms and carried on watching the game. No violence or unpleasantness ensued. I've always had really warm feelings towards Orient since that day. 13 minutes ago, RumRed said: The stadium that they got for f'all pretty much on Orient's doorstep. Would not have been feasible economically for Orient though surely, given the size of their fan base, even if the stadium were scaled down?

I seem to remember some shenanigans in the street, after the game, but think that was City v Old Bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
