Unbelievable. I've always considered Orient a fairly small club but this tops our best away attendance this season by some way.

C'mon Oxford!

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

On a similar theme, reading Saturdays programme it shows that Palace was our best away attendance (about 3700), closely followed by Saints.

Come on Orient !!!!!!!!!! If Orient win then they deny Grimsby promotion, Come on Orient !!!!!!!!!!

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

What, and we wouldn't take that many if we were chasing promotion?

4k odd at Port Vale that time wasn't it?

 

[Lord Bracknell]

They only managed to attract 5,268 to the game with Oxford at Brisbane Road.

Who says that a glimpse of success doesn't bring the punters in?

Orient have been given 4500 tickets...........its not clear how many they have sold though reading that link

WOuld have been more if we'd have had more tickets. Try 16,000 to Newcastle in 1979.

But good luck to Orient anyway, would like to see them come up especially at the expense of Grimsby.

They were initially given 4000 and have asked for more so it is quite likely they have sold them all.

 

[Hiney]

To be fair, Barry Hearn was on TalkSport this afternoon and was like a dog with two dicks when talking about the game on Saturday.

Fair play to him - and them.. At least if they win it's a nailed-on 6 points for us next year

Good luck to them then..................wish we were in a similar situation!!!

 

[Theatre of Trees]

I think Orient get promoted once in a generation so many fans need a new experience.

Having friends & family in Oxford I'm going to the game to lend my support to Oxford.

I remember we were in they're position 9 years ago.

Come on Oxford!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you've got a ticket. Apparently the ticketline has been jammed all day.

 

[Juan Albion]

Probably Oxford fans being forced to buy from Borient to be sure of getting a ticket.

They're supposed to be sorting it up there for me.

Staying at my Brothers pub just down the road from the ground as well, so I can get well lashed up

I think our situation 9 years ago was slightly different....they have a stadium-we were looking forward to a groundshare over an hour from our home. They'll bounce back-we would have disappeared into oblivion.

I'd like Torquay to stay up over Oxford.

Although Firroz Kassam was more interested in the profit he could make from the Manor Ground site (Expensive housing/private hospital) than he was moving the club forward. As has been proven by an incomplete ground and him walking this season with the club thick in the myre.

Nice one. Good luck.

 

[berkshire seagull]

How on earth did oriend get 4500 mmmm,oxfords crowds have increased to 6-7k since kasam left and smith was also appointed,thought the ground only held about 11k,its not good giving so many tickets to away fans for such a massive game.

Each to they're own fella.

If my friends & family were in Torquay I'd be down there lending my support. I'ts that last day must win to stay in the league thing.

I know what it means to them.

I know it was slightly different in our situation, But I doubt your theory of bouncebackability just because you have a ground. Ask Hereford.
