Will pass on the Tuesday night alternative. How is it an alternative? There have always been midweek games. I take it you did not go to the Peterborough play off games. Correct I'd still go to a play off game as it's big enough to make the effort. But our Tuesday night attendances have always been ...

Ridiculous that the number of Saturday 15:00 kick offs this campaign will likely be about half the fixtures. Will make a lot of people think about buying ST next season, especially those with kids or who live in the shires where it takes an age to return home mid-week. I had pretty instant buyers r...

Sky deal don’t look that great if we’re losing significantly on attendances. I dunno, it's Great value for the powers that be that would like to remove the issue of uppity lower league clubs objecting the their end game of removing promotion and relegation. Wall to wall coverage of half empty stadi...

Maybe not a massive one initially but the fees do rack up if you want to keep them if they turn out to be good.

Silly idea Why's it silly, those that are interested in Orient / Football don't have to hunt through all the other crap. What's the down side, no one is denying other topics, just separating it. A quick look shows stuff from Saturday still on page one, so you can easily see all the football stuff i...

The obvious answer has to be to move to La Liga then, I'm up for a trip to Madrid rather than Morcombe.

Embarrassing graphics, looks like it was made in Windows 95.

And I thought it was lego

Have you seen the price of Lego these days? Even Musk couldn't afford to build a full size one out of that stuff.

Offside = daylight rule That won't change anything. The argument will then be over what is "daylight". Whatever system or definition you use, there will always be those marginal cases, unless you screaaped offside completely ( and no I am not suggesting that is the way to go! Semi automat...

If you want to do it, bring some f*cking headphones too. We went out last week, and some kid had bluey blaring out, so we moved to the other side of the restaurant to get away from it. I think restaurants should enforce a headphone policy, and have a few to offer to families who forget to bring the...

"I just fancied it (and it looked great)". We don't need photo proof that you would have done! Although for the advert revenue and traffic a few photos would do the world of good. Without reading it thoroughly, so I'm probably wrong. The new guidelines seem sort of sensible. Individual ci...

Personally think an age rating is enough. Only if we introduce a new rating of 30 given the infantile way young people have decided to not grow up. Like 12a I'd allow them when an actual grown up has checked they don't have a tik tok account, or have been to Legoland without their own children, and...

Presuming it has a nice long single player story I'm in.

If it's just another vehicle for flogging skins to kids while they shout abuse and play hip hop at each other I'll give it a swerve.

Says who , you ?

They've got to announce it at some point before the end of the season so eventually a random person guessing will be right.

Outside of gamblers waiting for bets does it really matter when?

Am I ok? You’re the one I’m concerned about as you inject poison into your body expecting health. My challenge to anyone on here is produce an independent vaxed vs unvaxxed study, Err, well there's half a million hits on pubmed for 'vaccine' for general articles or just under 20k that involve clini...

We've got a anti vax nut at work. Have to admit I have softened on him when it turns out basically he's scared of needles and basically it's a useful conspiracy theory so he can tell others (and himself) that that's why he won't get the jab rather than being a softy.

It's like twenty miles and there's only two of you ffs. Why even bother subjecting yourself to getting on dirty public transport and just go by bike? Given the speed limits even on the thirstiest bike you're unlikely to pay more than a fiver in petrol. So you get to burn hydrocarbons, save money, ha...

Anthony Joshua at the boxing at the Excel years ago with the added Orient connection of only going as we got free tickets as season ticket holders.

The standing contributed to the good atmosphere. There were lots of empty seats lower down the tier and to the sides of the middle of the stand - stewards said to sit where you want. I'm not sure what the issue is? Only my opinion but seats are for sitting on 🤔 Fans who want to stand should situate...

Non compliant motorbikes can be adjusted and tested to make them compliant. Don’t know it it can be done to cars The bike thing is an example of a reasonable policy idea badly implemented. A lot don't even need adjusting TFL just chose a measure that wasn't looked at for bikes at the time in terms ...

This new moaning about people who don't come thing, is one of the unedifying aspects that irritates me about modern Orient supporting. A decade ago no one was upset to see empty seats at a crap lower league club, we've got more expensive, and with the issues around parking less accessible than then...

Charge the adults full price and the kids £5 a game or less. Or keep it the same and if the season tickets aren’t scanned together for more than 50% of the games, then charge the adult more at the end of the season to make up the shortfall But why? We didn't sell out our first game in League one in...

Hope not, it's OK when it affects matches you're watching on telly but not when I'm hoping to make a quick getaway after the game. If you’re that worried about getting home, leave early or don’t go But as a season ticket holder if he doesn't go won't he then get shamed by all the real fans(tm)? I m...

Which bit?

Modern Germany is pre dated by the the Falklands. whenever people want to rewrite borders it's always good to ask them exactly what year everything was perfect.
