Re: Leyton Orient Tributes for JE vs Cheltenham 03/08/19
It will be a very emotional and memorable day for all of us. Our club and Cheltenham will combine for a very unique and emotional day.
Like most folks on here, I'm not looking forward to it; it's going to be tough.
All I would like to add is that after Saturday, Justin will have passed into Orient legend forever. His name and the memory of his achievements here will endure as long as the club does. Hopefully, Saturday will enable us all to 'move on'. With that in mind, I would love to hear and see as much support as possible for Ross, Danny and Jobi. These guys have a tough job on their hands and Justin's shadow will dwell over them for a long time to come.
It would be really nice if the lads and lassies of the TJS could lead us all with some chants and cheers of encouragement for our new coaching staff. I'm sure that it would mean a lot to them.
See you all there.

If it ain't too late, I would hope the club could make a gesture for the travelling Cheltenham fans in response to their great efforts.
I seem to remember we offered some travelling fans a free hot drink simply because it was cold and they had travelled a long way, so I would think they are more deserving.
Something like a free pint, or free programme, would be cool. Or alternatively a free ticket for another game this season (which costs us nothing).
We could also match the Cheltenham donation into the JE fund.
Yes, all this might end up costing a couple of grand to comp a few hundred supporters, but it would be a nice gesture for the club to show it's not about money all the time.

That's a great idea.
I'm sure than a free beer and/or match programme - which will probably mention their efforts - would be very well received.

Why spell out JE3 and not Justin? Seems a bit strange to me

Mrs Nes is packing a big packet of tissues and I reckon I'll be using a few of them. So much emotion will be out there.
Thanks JE for everything and COYOs
