Kent Teague - Promotion to League 1 Tweet

True

Of next 5 games, three are against sides below Orient and whilst Plymouth and Grimsby are above The Os, it is only by 1 and 2 point respectively.
If Orient can get 11+ points from these games they should be well placed coming into end of year.

I reckon 11+ is downplaying it. 13+ looks likely now :-)

Trouble is top 7 have a little gap to the rest.

2 points. It will take ages to make that up.

At the time I posted, it was 5 :-)

A re-built East Stand could give us around 15,000.

Mikero

Only if Brisbane Road is built over. Footprint of a 10,000 seater stand would be a lot bigger. Also would need to play elsewhere while it is built.
I suspect the only way Orient could stay local would be in Olympic Park.

Will never happen. Hearn killed any chance of co-operation there.

Why would Orient need to move to rebuild East Stand. Many clubs have rebuilt stands without moving out. It would mean a reduced capacity for a period whilst stand is being rebuilt.

Can't see Council allowing building over Brisbane Road. Would means loss of road / footpath, not the o mention unacceptable intrusion into properties in that road, eg light blocked out, noise, etc

[point nine one eight]

I reckon they'd sell if we get back to lg1.

Not a good start making a tw*t of yourself so early

East stand is 3,500 out of 9,000 seats, over a third of the capacity. Would reduce capacity to around 5,000 if away fan segregation is factored in. As it would take a season, and it would be happening when Orient would be in Championship, so a bit hit. Might have to share with Stratford United for a season.

Arsenal built over every existing road for their new stadium. Councils can be persuaded.

Before the east stand is rebuilt, put a 2nd tier on the west stand. The south stand is designed to have a 2nd tier but not sure if possible with new buildings. This would add around 2.5-3,000 capacity, in the meantime. A new east stand would accommodate 5-6,000 potentially. So 14k stadium potentially possible.

If memory serves the west stand design allowed for the future addition of a second tier. A good place to start.

It won't happen. The residents in Brisbane Road would rightly challenge it in court and win.

Also, Arsenal have not built over residential roads to build their new stadium.

There is zero chance of planning permission being given for a development that would prevent residents from getting in or out if their properties or blocking their rights of light etc.

It's a non starter for East Stand o be built over the road

The south stand & north stand are lower than the flats .
The moat in the south can quite easily be built to have 2 tiers , no higher if the pitch is levelled to the same level as the moat at front of the tjs.

West stand is also foundation prepared to take 2 tiers , according to Hearn when it was built .
The stand is already at 2 tier height but without the 2nd tier jin place ust the lounge & dining & the gallery there instead office space , which in theory can be placed at other parts of the ground.

Knock that meccnao set down & build a 2 tier version of it & its Job Jobbed.
The East in theory follows the same concept .

I disagree. I am sure they would acquiesce for the greater good and some sobs bunged to them.

The club would need to do as Liverpool had to do and buy all the houses in Brisbane Road to even have a chance of building over Brisbane Road. You cannot block someone ability to enter their house, nor block their right of light, then there would be the Human Rights arguments about the householders right to respect for their family life. Building a football stand inches from their door is undoubtedly a breach of this...if they build over Brisbane Road.


Its pointless debate as it isn't ever going to happen unless Orient buy up all the properties in the road which would cost £millions before any work started.

Arsenal had a lot of compulsory purchase of homes as well as businesses. Queensland Road was residential.

Hardly any houses fronting onto Brisbane Road that face the east stand. Mostly side walls/fences along with a garage or two.

[Top of the JES]

Forget East stand redevelopment nothing will happen while it's not owned by the club Teague stated as much when the wooden floors were being replaced.

Going forward the ground is going to remain the elephant in the room because bits of the West stand have now been sold off to third parties. Even if we could buy the ground outlay and cost of redevelopment of the old main stand would run into tens of millions not helped by the asbestos issues in the old stand. Ironically the houses in Brisbane Road wouldn't be too much of a planning issue I imagine but the flats on that side of the ground might be!

The club have already done a feasibility study with LBWF about possible relocation sites in the borough which drew a blank so we have to hope that eventually a site becomes available and we can get it on the cheap from the council If anything happened and we could not renew our lease with Hearn we would at the moment be forced to look outside the borough.

Also the West stand does not have the correct foundations for two tiers of seating the only stand that had foundations for a second tier is the south Stand. before Hearn decided to build flats butting up to the back of the South Stand the idea was to put on a Second tier when we became a championship club and it could pay for itself.

This ^^^

If you're T&T why would you pour in millions to develop stands you don't own, it's throwing money down the drain. Hearn's sneaky deals have made sure the future of BR only suits him.

If we want to move forward it won't be at BR imo. On a related note I've heard Hearn has upped the rent to £250k, be interested to know if that can be confirmed but you then start to see why the losses are still racking up despite all the new income Macklin has brought in.

I don't know if he has upped the rent I thought we had two years rent free and then £200 k a year for three years. but it would not be unreasonable to raise the rent when he can given we are now back in the EFL.

And herein (or Hearn) lies the problem.
