Yes sadly I agree with you 100%, come on Disoriented jump on a train to them and give the owner a lambasting, it really would be a shame to loose them.

Who the hell buys a business that regular loses 2.7m per year?

Nigel and Kent?

No he didn't get plenty of opportunity because the interviewer was asking him other questions. What he did manage to say about the O's though was positive.

He doesn't get opportunity to say much about the O's, which is a shame, because we emerge with credit.

Living abroad, this was my first O's game for about 15 years and I'd really looked forward to it. Pre-match I thought we'd really struggle for goals, given the players we had available, and we did. Great goal from them, but from what I recall we only turned up for the second half. I was very disappo...
