Absolutely this. We have lost too many Os fans in the last couple of years including I believe that lovely old couple in the picture
Only one of them, Bill Measure sadly died in 2015 but as far as I know Maureen is still with us. https://www.leytonorient.com/news/2015/ ... l-measure/
If Maureen is still with us I hope she brings her cat shopping bag.

Fairly certain I saw Maureen around the place in the past year.

HOPEFULLY we will be presented with the National League Trophy and the players will do a lap of honour...………. The pitch invasion should be put on hold until all this has happened.

Yeah, let's do a spontaneous pitch invasion say half hour after the final whistle has blown.

Sort of defeats the object though doesn't it?

If we go up, regardless of what anyone on here says, or the club says, it will happen.

Embrace it, get it done, get off the pitch and enjoy the presentation.

I reckon with the impending pitch invasion the Trophy may be presented on the balcony 🤔🤔

I reckon there will be an announcement to keep off and plenty of stewards to attempt to enforce it. Then it is just a matter of numbers. Pretty sure the club along with TV will want all presentations to happen on the pitch rather than up on the balcony. Also BT Sport end their transmission at 2.45pm, which doesn’t leave too much time for a pitch invasion.

BT Sport will be gutted if there isn't a pitch invasion.

They would indeed. More importantly though, who cares what BT Sport think? It's our day, not theirs.

Just remember, if they say the presentation has been cancelled and the players have gone home, they're probably lying.

Somebody told me that they don't have the trophy unless you are already mathematically guaranteed to win the title and it is a home game. I suppose if Salford did do the necessary and we lost, it would look a bit stupid.

If it goes pear shaped they can always have a fast car to err Hartlepool.

Less problematic if Solihull win the title as they can just drive down the A11.

Suspect trophy will be at Brisbane Road, even if kept out of sight until final whistle.

So had this matter been settled?

We're all going on the turf, meanwhile Spen sits there waving a book of laws in his hand shouting "YOU'RE ALL BREAKING THE LAW".

Look forward to it.

I am going to the bar and returning to my seat with a beer after the final whistle before I go on the pitch. Going for the full 70s throwback experience.
Hopefully there is a hot dog/boiled burger stall along with the touts and the tat men on the way in. Will chuck a bog roll on the pitch at kick off.
Am I missing anything?
