Independent Leyton Orient Forum

I'm expecting a tough game - and I will also go for 1 - 1.

Hoping the covers and heaters do their job. It will be well above freezing by 3pm Saturday. Hopefully game on...?

There is a plan to enlarge the East Side without knocking it down, by building a narrow new structure in Brisbane Rd and adding c 7 rows at the top. Would get us to 10 K enough for L1/Championship with the Spurs Ladies additional income The other possible option longer term is to share or acquire th...

I hope we can make an offer for him...sounds like £150K would do it!

Yep, metric has changed but still impressive! If we keep our upward momentum and when all the new Leyton homes are built we will be missing out on alot of revenue. BH saved the O's but also ensured we would always be constrained.

The average in 73-74 was over 11k, but I think we haven't topped 8444 since. Thats 50 years ago. Need a bigger capacity somehow...

8743 vs CAFC. Average is 8444. Interesting if the back rows are now opened...

Form stats are not pretty reading though...its 8 points from 10 games

Looked like we were going to be overrun at 3 0. Shocking start to the game - looks like we came back strongly and in the end our attacking stats were better than Wanderers. Let's hope that the remaining 24 games gives us another 8 wins and we will be fine. Lots of work to be done by RW and ML...

Based on recent form we are likely to lose 4 1. The O's might be galvanised by actually winning last week - so best outcome would be 2 - 2. Expect we can get a point against CAFC and hopefully 3 against WW. Cambridge away should be 1 or possibly 3 points too...

The Hockey and Tennis Centre just inside the Olympic Park is a good size and I'm told underused. Maybe a swap would work! I reckon there is space to build a 20K seater stadium. Would need a tunnel or bridge over the railway track - so that people can walk from the soon to be revamped Leyton Tube Sta...

I think we will win this one - 2 - 1.
The bad run of form will get us back to scrapping for points as a newly promoted L2 team. Hope that mentality carries on till the end of the season and we finish safely above the bottom 4 places.

Useful funds and hopefully they will deliver East Stand redevelopment soon. We could get back to 10k capacity with some relatively doable changes.

ML doing a mate a favour and thinking I have a back up manager. Probably doesn't suit anyone. The board need to sort this out asap. We need wingers / forwards in the window or its L2 again in 24/25

I watched the game on Bet365. We started by playing Wellens slow build-up and possession but with little cutting edge. Chesterfield started to press and we conceded an unfortunate goal. Expected us to put them under pressure and attack - but this didn't happen and we just played a long balls through...

My view is that McMahon was a successful lower league manager and we are trying to build a L1 side that can consolidate and eventually push into the Championship. I'm sure bigger clubs have a larger coaching staff. ML might also be planning for turnover in this area. That said, the impact on set pie...

We will be hoping there are at least 4 teams worse than us...

In the grand scheme of being an O's supporter, I'm not sure supporters groups make any difference (other than perhaps making members feel a "double sense of belonging"). Come every Saturday at 5 pm - every O's fan (irrespective of any imaginable sub division of the human race) will be eith...

Two tier East Side, holding 6500 would get us to c. 12k.

Probably the best option is the Hockey Stadium site. It has a large footprint and might take a 20K football stadium alongside the existing buildings and Hockey area (c.4000 capacity). It's not that far from the High Road, but would need an aerial walkway or tunnel from Leyton Mills Retail Park / Ley...

We looked very good for long passages yesterday. If the coaches can get the tean to play earlier and more incisive passes we have a chance for the playoffs. Certainly our form over the last 10 is play off form. Keep it up and we will be in and around the 5th and 6th places! Also chuffed we are avera...

Barnsley have a great away record - so a good time to dent it! Heart says 2 - 1, head says a point will be good

2 1 to O's - 8715
