Meet the Chairman

[Bluecap]

If you go, and asked, what will be your first question?

[BIGRON]

When the fook are we gonna win again ?

[Wally Banter]

The hand-dryer in the South Stand toilets offers all the power of a premature kitten reluctantly trying to blow out a candle. When, oh when, will this be addressed?

[Max Fowler]

How much power can a premature kitten produce with a reluctant breath?

[Lost not Found]

If anti social behaviour will not be tolerated in the family stand, what level of general swearing (when the balls out of play / down the other end) would manage to cross this threshold for a steward to hear it?

[Rich Tea Wellin]

What’s the next x amount of years plan if we go up this year?

[Max Fowler]

Good question.

The Family Stand is not a family stand. It's as full of angry sweary middle aged men, without kids, as any other part of the ground. They just pay less for their season tickets.

How are clubs like Stevenage, Gillingham and Col U able to have an active January transfer window whilst we have to rely on loans of kids and freebies who haven’t played for a year?

[Max B Gold]

How rich are youse and can the club have more money to spend please?

[RedDwarf 1881]

How are clubs like Stevenage, Gillingham and Col U able to have an active January transfer window whilst we have to rely on loans of kids and freebies who haven’t played for a year?

Good question. Plus why didn’t we bring in another striker when quite a few of our rivals did .

[HARVEY T DENTON]

Excuse me but which room is meet The President ?

[Long slender neck]

What do you order from Papa Johns?

Imagine there were fans of other league 1 clubs asking the same whilst we were pissing money away on Henderson, McAnuff v.1 and Lowry.

Maybe they get around the FairPlay rules by their owners personally paying for the players.

Stevenage:
Speaking in his programme notes, the Boro chairman says the financial worries of 2020 are now behind them and while he made no indication as to the source of the new funds, he is confident the club are in a good place financially for the future.
He said: "We are not short of funds. We were in a very, very bad way financially in 2020 but we secured additional funding late in 2021 that means we can strengthen the budget.
Now, within reason, [we can] compete for any League Two player we want, whilst still making sure we maintain the over-riding, key element of keeping the club solvent for fans of future generations to enjoy.

As for Gillingham, and Colchester, unlike Orient, neither invested in players in the summer, and were near bottom of the table as a consequence. I suggest they are now spending unspent funds in a desperate effort to save themselves. I am sure Orient might have spent their remaining budget differently, if they hadn't lost three centre halves in one match.

[Long slender neck]

What has happened?

[Dunners]

Any news on the biscuit mending machine?

There has been a light out in the gents in the Legends Lounge since the start of the season. It's been reported.

Yes , I only hope that Northampton game doesn’t prove to be a pivotal point ( downhill slide) in our season. Losing three CB’s in one go was a blow .

So Stevenage are some sort of financial powerhouse and Col U/Gillingham cacked their pants and bought some players. In which case I’d asked the following questions:

1. How much richer are Stevenage than us?
2. If the like of Col U & Gills can stick their hands in their pockets to prevent relegation, why can’t our owners flash the cash to secure winning the league? Thought they were supposed to be ambitious.

[BiggsyMalone]

What is your 5 year plan with Orient?

[RedDwarf 1881]

What is your 5 year plan with Orient?

Championship. Next question.

[RBMarshall]

With respect to the OP's question.
What percentage of O's fans do you secretly wish would do one?
But my real point of commenting here is to ask if any of the bloggers, vloggers, podcasters plan to cover this event?

[gshaw]

If we do manage to get promotion over the line how can the club be competitive in L1 if "FFP" is the reason we can't bring in a striker during the window when clubs like Stevenage don't seem to have such concerns?

The ground is a sellout most weeks so there's no room for income expansion there. What's the plan to not come straight back down again?
