Drive in is easy . Parking is not easy but there is a multi story before you turn off for ground.
Westfield shopping centre isn’t too far from there so is an option to park there. A decent walk through the Olympic Park from there.

I'm going back to the late '80's. It was the time we lost 5-0 there on April Fools Day and Kevin Campbell who was on-loan from Arsenal, scored a hat-trick for them.
I drove down with 3 mate and we left about 6am. Got the ground about 9.30-10ish and parked right outside the away end. We then hopped on a tube and went into Central London for a few hours. Got back to the car only to find it was now the only car parked down the street, with no parking cones everywhere. I approached a policeman who was eyeing up my car and explained to him that when I parked the car there were no restrictions on the street at all. To be fair to him he said I could leave the car where it was and he'd explain what had happened to the local traffic wardens.
I half expected the car to have been towed away when the game ended but he was good to his word and it was still there.

Just ordered 6 tickets for myself and my other exiled mates. I’m hoping I’m out of work on time!

Haven’t got tickets and was just going to turn up, may call Orient and ask about this, anyone know if the Belgians are coming? And do they have tickets if they are?
As far as I'm aware yes they are, and that's why the initial allocation sold in the blink of an eye.I would suggest ordering the tickets on line.It's very efficient, you are assured of getting in an d the club earns a bit from you doing so. Ps there are less than 200 left so I wouldn't leave it too long if I were you

I imagine there may well be some exiles who turn up on the day. Great showing.

That was the last time I went to their ground... a disappointing performance to say the least Went there a couple of times in the early 80s... always had a happy-go-lucky feel to the place, rather than it being intimidating like a lot of the other London clubs grounds were ( like West Ham, Chelsea, Millwall etc ) Anyone there in the 1980-81 season by any chance? A couple of Town fans attacked a bloke and his daughter on the road out... I recall it making the front page of the national papers on the Monday
