The Leyton Orient Fans' Trust (LOFT) has called on the club to extend its season card renewal deadline, in order to give as many supporters as possible the chance to secure their seat for next season.
Orient have announced modest increases in season ticket prices for the 2024-25 campaign, but have made the renewal deadline two months earlier than it was last year, giving fans much less time to find the money.
In a letter sent last week to the O's chief executive, Mark Devlin, LOFT said: "We are concerned that this abnormally early deadline, which we note is prior to the EFL season officially concluding, has not given supporters sufficient time to budget for what is a significant one-off expense.
"We urge the club to extend the season card deadline by one month to June 3rd."
LOFT vice-chair, Tom Davies, said: "We understand the club's need to increase revenue to meet rising costs and share their ambitious plans for the team, but at a time of high cost-of-living pressures, many loyal fans risk losing seats they may have sat in for many years due to the lack of time they have been given to find the money for renewing. We call on the club to engage with supporters' concerns and extend the deadline."
We await a response to our letter.
