Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Might as well call it what it really is - The Matchroom Pension Fund Stadium

Interesting point made about the number of Tuesday night kick offs almost certainly going to be the same as last season, we've just had them front loaded due to international breaks. The only thing is that they can't count - I make it 6 Tuesday night kick offs - the games against Exeter, Rotherham a...

The lack of engagement on both forums when I looked last night is pretty telling. A 15/24 budget isn't bad but looking at what we've brought in that's a very poor return for money spent. Nothing changes in that department staff wise so expect more of the same, which then circles back round to fan a...

The intention is for the 2026/27 season onwards there will be a two week window for internationals 21/9 to 6/10. How is that going to work? I would rather play the game with a weakened team than have it moved to a Tuesday night. Historically in the lower leagues it meant the younger players got a ru...

3 Saturday 3pm kick offs at home for half a season is not acceptable or for Orient sustainable. The fact that the EFL could not split the 4 international breaks this season so each team has 2 home and 2 away games potentially affected says it all. After being a season ticket holder with my son for t...

Most season long loans will have a break clause in the January transfer window where either party can agree to the end of the loan. We ate stuck with him until then.

The tweet has been deleted. I wonder if the club has requested this bearing in mind the negative reaction.

OMG what an earth have they done?

You can go PAYG as at least 7 games are going to be available via Sky+. These include Bolton, Exeter, Rotherham, Bristol Rovers, Crawley, Cambridge and Barnsley. These are all the games that aren’t 3pm Saturday kick offs.

All we need to do now is sign a striker who marries a person while already legally married to someone else.
Then we can sing “a racist at the back, a bigamist in attack, Orient climbing up the football league”

This is also being driven by the EFL new tv deal with sky. With a match weekend now running Friday to Monday it could potentially mean a short notice cancellation of a televised game.

From what I understand all non Saturday 3pm kick offs will be available via the red button.

While he was not responsible for today’s debacle there are plenty of issues with him. 1. Kicking. Panics when the ball is played back to him with any pace. Doesn’t show which side he wants the ball played to. When he does actually kick it the ball flight is so flat there is no chance of an Orient pl...

Ok then Joe315 tell me how I travel return to Leyton Tube station from Zone 6, with an adult and child (child does have a zip 11-15 card that he can use), for less than the current £12.90?

An Oyster card is no cheaper than contactless so why bother

Yes I will hit the PAYG cap as I sometimes have to get a bus as the trains are so crap from Purley, but I will no longer be able to use the Friends and Family pass which I get discount for the whole ticket.

I was born in Walthamstow, and have lived all round London. Orient is the only club I support and have been going since 1980. I currently live in Kenley, but can use Upper Warlingham as well. The point of public transport is to move people arround effciently and at a reasonable cost. Bear in mind al...

You really are a juvenille lot aren't you. I live in Zone 6 and to get to Leyton and have to go via zone 1, unless I want a 45 minute detour.

You can just use your contactless card now, a paper Travelcard is redundant. Except it isn't if you live in zone 6, and travel by train. I travel with my son and use a Friends and Family Railcard. The cost for my trip to Brizzie will go from £12.90 to £16.60 Thanks a lot Khan! I have travelled from...

Play direct football with a bit a physicality. Hope the ref don’t mind. 3 of the easiest points you’ll get all season. That has to be one of the most pathetic performances I’ve seen through numbers 1-11 and you can include the management as well. Did anyone else think that an Evans team would play a...

Nigel moans about the fans speding their money on food and drink outside the stadium, but besides the South Stand Bar, where are the fans supposed to go? The West stand with its outlets and the North and South of the stand are cramped, and standing roon only. Not exactly condusive to picking up food...

RW won't touch this with a bargepole. Reading haven't got a pot to piss in, and he's had his fingers burnt once already when he went to Doncaster.

I have just added 2 tickets for the South Stand on the ticket exchange as I am now not able to attend.

What peed me off was the blatant time wasting especially in the 2nd half. After the second 45 mins ball had been in play for 23 minutes. The 5 mins added time took this up to 25 min 35 seconds. This is ruining the game. If we went to 30 mins each way ball in play it would cut out the time wasting ta...
