    Carling and Coors being the only pints on offer and for that price is a disgrace.

    Leyton Orient had a local(ish) ale and a decent lager on for £5.80, in London ffs.

    Got to keep them prices high to be able to afford to keep sacking managers.

    Queues in the concourse have been low all season. Fans won't take being ripped off.

    It's the little things we could do better. Away fans drink in East Dene, but don't know where to go. Many times including today walking in the Ponte car park I have to tell away fans they are going the wrong way as they head east jot west.

    Would it harm to put some 'away end' signs with directions in different places, such as down by the food van?

    I sit in the West Stand. Went to get a bite to eat at half time (just as the clock ticked on to 45 mins to be more precise, so missed the Russell goal). Nobody in the queue, which wasn't surprising as there was hardly anyone in attendance. However there was not a single item of hot food available even before the ref blew for HT. I don't understand how we continue to manage the catering so badly.

    Here's me thinking they had a ticket with a stadium plan on.
