You will be pleased to know, that the super dooper seats at Orient are in fact slightly padded, this does help when you watch rubbish in the cold most weeks, great for the piles, i have been told.
These seats are in the middle of the stand, above players tunnel and dug outs etc, to access these you actually come in via middle tier of stand and walk down, quite a grand entrance really.
The other sections, left and right, you walk in at ground level and walk up etc, so if you plan to meet people, you really do need to get the turnstile number correct etc, as you can not walk along whole length of stand etc.
WORDS OF WARNING: The West Stand is dammm steep and causes a lot of issues to people in falling down, so be warned, take time etc, especially if slightly beered up.
Sooper dooper seats have own bar and lounge, very nice indeed, chumps at O's pay £600 a year for 23 games a season in this stand etc
[iAfter game it is best to stay in Gallery bar, players family are usually in here for footie, then head down to Supporters bar at ground level, with the entrance on street etc,
[/ithis bar is excellent, has won many Camra awards and serves excellent ale for those of that ilk etc, otherwise its just the dreaded Kronenbourg or Fosters on Draught. great staff though
At Leyton, by Tube station, you really have only Three choices of pub locally
The Birkbeck Tavern: Birbeck Road, Leytonstone E11,
behind Leyton Tube by cemetary,turn left out tube, stairway at side of station, pub at top of this road.
My choice of local boozer, HOLSTEN on tap, good beer garden, I will be here from 11.00am, so I can meet you all at tube, or just come and join etc, only 10 mins walk to turnstiles, similar stoop to station etc
King Harold: High Road, Leyton, E10,
Left out of Leyton Tube and 500 metres on Left
This is going slightly away from ground etc, but still on high road, OK boozer, 2nd choice etc, will most probably go here after Birbeck at around 12.45
Coach and Horses: High Road, Leyton E10,
Right next to ground on High Road
This boozer stinks of mickey and is generally for away footie fans, only venture if you have been innoculated or you cannot smell anything through your nose. place is awful, i even managed to get my self barred out this place about three weeks ago, used to drink in this place, when i was 14 years old, done me a favour, if you really must visit, would say, bypass and go to supporters club before game. Though the supporters club, will be better after game etc.
Its a real result just living 5 stops away on tube, so happy days,
My only other concern is the turnstile number on people tickets, were they given all the same etc, as it may end up people not being able to sit together as at opposite ends of stand etc.
This is what you get when taking a game on the road and no one really bothers to to a recce etc, again, the fans are not thought of in simple turns,
