You're right of course, its just that it used to be used for most if not all away games.
If for example I had been to 6 games this season I would have been offered an Orient ticket before someone who had been to less than that (but after the real loyal supporters). Nowadays, apart from the likes of Brighton and Charlton where all the tickets will probably go to the season ticket holders anyway, it seems it all depends on the speed of your internet connection at 10:00 on a Monday morning.
