Half an hour for pre submitted questions seems a bit managed.

Are you making any plans?
Do you know what’s best for us?

Have you ever considered 'trying' to negotiate getting our lease back from Hearn, considering he has, unlike yourself, no genuine interest in Leyton Orient and its future?

Why designed the make over of the Thommy Johson bar? Taken out the carpet, the booths, so no noise insulation. Awful now, so loud

Considering how we’re unable to compete for players with some other clubs in our league , why haven’t we offered Galbraith and Agyei an extended contract yet?

Seems a bit short notice, and highly irregular. Wonder what spooked them?

I've asked if there's any further avenues for raising income given the ground is being maxed out (following the East Stand works that returns some lost capacity) and Mark Devlin's work getting more sponsorship deals in.

If the only route for additional funds is selling players how will the club ensure they get Peterborough-esque fees rather than what we usually get in the sub-500k region (if that)

Lack of ticket sales? Feelings of alienation from some supporters?

Can I consider myself a true fan if I have a chicken burger from Five Lads on a match day for my lunch rather than forking out for a sweaty pie or soggy nachos smothered in cheese style “sauce” in the ground?

Seems very high risk, particularly given the potential for noise in the South Stand bar, and if we take a beating off Birmingham. Can’t fault the guy’s courage.
