OI - yes. A4E - at this time yes, but weren't they looking at options of doing a 'Brentford' and threatening to block people from seat-locking and also forcing people to return tickets if you weren't going

Doesn't the club reclaim VAT on the ticket if it is returned? I'm guilty of not returning, so no criticism from me on whatever people do.

Airsy - thanks for this, looks like it’s virtually pointless…

If it's the same as last season, then you return your ticket back to the club for re-sale (through DonsTix) or a dedicated email address. 'We' only get a refund for certain designated games where they think that we will sell- out/demand will be high (i.e. Christmas). There were a few games last season where we had someone sitting in one of our returned seats, but we didn't get anything back. I think we got about two refunds in the whole season.

Does the club still offer a way of putting your season ticket seat up for resale, or is that only for sold out games? Can’t see a link to it anywhere…

That's a fair point about stewarding in the main stand, Surrey Bob.

Not free, you owe me one of your portions of chips!

SB - in that case I think the stewards are getting it right

Main Stand Stewarding - spoke with one of the stewards for about 10 minutes before the PSF against QPR. He explained that it had been made clear to them that our fan base (particularly in the Main Stand) was likely to cause few problems particularly given the age profile of many and that a sensible light touch was all that was required from them.

Looks like I'm still living rent free in the poor old sod's head

I remember seeing the hockey stadium when I was in Tokyo in 2020

CW - I taught with one of the GB Bronze medal winners from the 2020 (2021) Tokyo Olympics - the had lost heavily to Netherlands 5-1 in their semifinal, but rallied from 3-2 down to beat India 4-3 - I’ve got some lovely photos of her medal as she brought it to school for people to look at, which was nice as I’ve never held an Olympic medal before…

And then LTB's best mate Sam Quek was unleashed upon the world

10 years ago today nine million including the Queen watched the Olympic hockey women’s win the gold at Rio 2016 [Link]

CW - Leyton seems unchanged from previous visits - though no pubs remain on High Road - increase in moslem population maybe?

Well I like the new formatting of the July DTB minutes, iin fact if one had confidence in the DTB membership it would be a good set of minutes.

DO-a rare appearance for you. Were you updating the Andy Away guide?

Bag searches at Orient last night. Didn't have one, so can't say how thorough. No body searches.

Nick Kyrgios the Aussie tennis loudmouth suspended for cocaine use

I remember teaching English in a French school and some oik asked me if I knew Tiffany’s nightclub in Wimbledon Broadway

We had a coach load of Spanish foreign exchange students over at our college that summer there were hormones flying around everywhere. Sofia Perez I still love you and thanks for the [redacted] behind the wall at the top of the squash courts.

Wox, I got that at Highbury once. Loads of male PCs but a young WPC gave e a full body search and didn't charge. Surrey Bob was body searched by a big ugly male copper

Does a small bar of choccy count as "food". Buggered if I'm paying £3 for a Twix at the ground.

Little did you know the 1990 summer of love was a few months away…
