You can already see the chaos when the outcome of this replayed fixture inevitably has a butterfly effect for promotion/play-off/relegation/safety for Orient, Lincoln or some other club(s).
How are you so wrong about everything so often?
Had the result *stood*, then there was *some* degree of potential that it might negatively impact other clubs, who would then have a point in the event that their league status or promotion prospects had suffered due to a result of a fixture that wasn’t fully completed.
Had the match been replayed at the end of the season, after all fixtures had been fulfilled, some teams might have had a justifiable issue that Lincoln/Orient had an advantage in being able to play a match after all others had been completed, knowing exactly what was required.
Having the match replayed in November, with over half the season left, leaves no room for any legitimate objection by any other club, and therefore no potential for any “chaos” whatsoever.
What chaos exactly do you envisage? Because at best, it will be a few moaners on social media. I suspect nobody will have any serious expectation that “that replayed fixture between orient and Lincoln is why we got relegated/didn’t get promoted” will gain any traction whatsoever,
