Short of making the game club members only (not a very good idea as with the greatest respect I shouldn't imagine they would sell enough tickets this way) what do you expect Leyton Orient to do about it? There is no way of telling whether somebody does or doesn't support a certain club especially if the clubs are near to each other geographically.
I shouldn't worry about it anyway, O's fans are hardly known as trouble makers unless you're talking about West Ham and Spurs clashing (a large number of Orient fans are West Ham fans first however much they pretend to hate West Ham).
Lastly, what has it got to do with the stand being terracing? I should imagine it will be the same situation in the seated areas too.
: There is concern on the Official Leyton Orient message board that a large number of home supporters tickets for the FA Cup Match v Spurs have been sold to Spurs Fans. The area of the ground that these tickets are for is an all standing terrace (North). Does anybody know what responsibilty the club must take to ensure the safety of all fans?
: It only takes a few idiots to spoil the game for everybody and I for one am worried for the children that will be at this game.
