Mariners TV

Quoted from ginnywings

Sorry, no.

I'm a dunderhead with 'puters.

No problem all sorted, I have moved to New Jersey

Quoted from AlfredTheGreat

If you have a season ticket and can't go then you should be able to watch a game for nothing rather than have to pay again! Or at least be able to sell the club your seat back.

Sell your ticket for the day on ebay like thousands of Premier club season ticket holders seem to do.
Hell, you might start a trend and start ticket-touting in Grimsby.

Have ticket touts ever operated in Grimsby?

Can you not listen via BBC Sounds if you're wireless transistor radio isn't in range of Radio Humberside?

Not now we’re back in the league, as far as I’m aware. There are blackouts of EFL commentaries online during games.

Golly - If Mariners TV isn’t launched in time, it should still be possible to buy via the Orient website, obviously you’d need a VPN but you’d need that anyway with Mariners TV.

Is there a way to transfer a ticket to a friend?

Say I can't make a game, do I need to physically give someone my season ticket or can I send them the QR code?

I’m going to the match. And I’m a VPN veteran from the pre-COVID days.

Whilst I think his tone is a little off, Golly raises a fair few good points.  

There's a fair few issues that have identified themselves over the summer when it comes to the website (especially around tickets) and having ditched iFollow there should be a replacement by now.  I fully appreciate the incredibly tight timescales on this but the communications has been quite poor.  So much has been done to re-engage the fan base, it would be a grave shame to see it partly undone.

Fingers crossed the platform will launch asap and in time for the first game, allowing those outside the BBC Humberside reach to listen to the game.  But if that's not going to happen, there needs to be something said.

Transparency is a word we keep hearing, but communication from the club ranges from average to appalling.

If it’s not ready they should be transparent and just tell us. We’re all adults. Yes it will be embarrassing for the club but not half as embarrassing and infuriating as announcing it at 1PM on Saturday will be.

If the club say nothing then they lose control of the narrative.

Will commentary of the game be on Humberside?

I think it's probably harsh to say it ranges from appalling to average.

Whilst I agree there needs to be improvements, I'm equally happy to cut them some slack.  I've been in the ticket office a few times in recent weeks (season ticket renewal and collecting Orient tickets).  Both times they were absolutely rushed off their feet, front and back of the office.  This summer we've had record sales of everything, be it tickets or shirts.  To put it simply, they can't cope and they know this.  There's a new job getting advertised every week at the minute so they're clearly trying to build the capacity to meet the demand.  It just won't happen over night.

1878 sort of hinted that promotion came too early for us.  I think this is an example of it.
