Thiught it was ‘we are the champions’?
Didn’t Bazza want to do ‘Simply the best’ by Tina Turner , but there was an uproar at the thought of ditching Taxi

Might be a tough one, no Kelman, Galbraith out, lack of height in defence.
The boys to scrape through, 1-0, Keeley 95th minute.

El Miz and Paul Smyth for their parts in the 2023 promotion.

Was Smyth a permanent? Although, tbf, Smythy seemed to think it was a loan……

He was, frequently!

Not saying he was the most important, but loved watching M’Poku playing for us, v Swansea in the cup being a memorable one.

Could any new ground retain an off centre gable with the words ‘Leyton Orient’ on it please?

Re
‘ he was f*cked off to non-League football.’

No he wasn’t, Kemp has never played non league football. Presumably you were thinking of Hartlepool, they were in L2 when Kemp scored 9 goals in 16 games for them.
About as accurate as the rest of your ‘analysis’

Was about as effective for Stevenage as he was fornus He’s improved considerably since he left us, but even so he wasn’t that bad for us anyway. Jackett clearly didn’t fancy him. Last three clubs, Hartlepool, Swindon, Stevenage , he’s managed 32 goals in 77 games, as well as many assists and his ge...

Another simple tap in from Charlie. It's amazing how lucky he's become, always in the right place at the right time. Almost as if it's not luck at all. https://x.com/theOrientway/status/1905352910524817897 Kelman deserves a huge amount of credit for how much he has developed this season. Initially ...

Be happy to have Dan Kemp back No thanks, fluffed his chances and with a 5 yard headstart Markanday caught him up on the counter attack. We can do better. Be great if we can do better, but Kemp has scored 9 league goals plus 4 assists in 36 games, has stayed injury free. If one of our midfielders c...

In December 2022, Florida-based property tycoon Brad Galinson (worth around £65-82 million) acquired a majority shareholding in Gillingham. Neil Harris was sacked 05/10/2023 with the club in 8th place. Stephen Clemence was appointed 01/11/2023 but left 30/06/2024 after ending the season in 12th pla...

Be happy to have Dan Kemp back

Just hope Charlie isn’t out for too long, same goes for Brown.
At least OON got some minutes in and Happe was on the bench.
Good news TJ starts training from Monday.

Revell comes on as sub 5 mins to go and scored a ‘worldy’ to
win it 1-0
Damn recurring recurring nightmare that Revell goal!

3-0
Kelman, Agyei & Keeley

Gary Ainsworth leaving Shrewsbury for Gillingham
Ainsworth was giving it large re here for the long term, proud to be at Shrewsbury etc, that didn’t last long! Despite Shews offering him a 2year extension he’s off to Gills.

No its not. Its the most significant revenue source into the club they’re about to spend millions on. You’re delusional if you think they didn’t have a say on these prices. I make Hoover correct, it would be very unusual to say the least for the potential new owners to have any input on this matter...

The new owners will be involved in, if not, setting those prices. Of course they won’t. It’s a normal operational issue. No its not. Its the most significant revenue source into the club they’re about to spend millions on. You’re delusional if you think they didn’t have a say on these prices. I mak...

How long is this period of exclusivity supposed to last? The period of exclusivity was announced on 17th Feb, so we are just over a month from that. That is very early for these things. No time scale was given, the negotiations and DD will last as long as it takes until either they break down or ag...

The upcoming week is usually when the club release ticket details for the following season. Can’t be too far off announcing more news on the takeover. That may well be, but there is no earthly reason why the two are linked. The new owners will be involved in, if not, setting those prices. Well that...

Fair play, that’s decent

Just shows you fans love a winning team. Where were they a few years ago?
Torquay Utd in National League South regularly pulling in 5,000 or so per match.
It does also show the depth of English football, even if the fans are a bit fickle!

25-1 for promotion, sounds about right
