I don't know if Prestige has 'a problem' with me as such Biggsy, I've always said it's law of averages with the commentary 33pc will like what you do, 33pc think it's OK and 33pc won't like your voice/style at all. That will go for pretty much any commentator/DJ/Presenter. Just the way it is.
With regard to the Orient Hour ,I am in the middle of recruiting main presenters, can announce former LBC & BBC sports host Steve Tongue is joining us next season. Outlooks Steve Nussbaum too, several regulars and we will have an ideas and strategy meeting soon.

You must have been doing the O's stuff a long while, I remember you from the late 80''s.
Back in the old 4th div days, do you recall Paul who worked for BT?

Good on you for recognising that the guys that took over from Chris Hood just weren't up to it.

Tbf Ollie and Mike have left because they have a new venture that I am not at liberty to discuss atm, they did it differently to Chris and Tbf I would like each host to do very much their own thing ,so we get a varied show rather than the same old each week.

To be fair Chris was excellent and I looked forwards to the show each week. However, I lost that feeling with the new guys, didn’t particularly like their style or presentation and they basically ignored any questions off this board no matter how good the question was.

Hopefully it gets back to the previous high standards.

We will definitely be involving questions from fans and hopefully providing a regular listen for O's fans. I will announce presenters as we get them.

I have been a reader, albeit non-contributor, of Leyton Orient forums for a number of years; albeit without comment.

However, I have to say that your timing to out-pour your 'bleeding heart' is an utter disgrace.

There are far more important things for us supporters to grieve over this week than your demise from a tin-pot job.

With all due respect to Justin's family AND the wider Leyton Orient family, do us a favour.......give it a rest and maybe think more about others, rather than yourself!

Andy did not start this thread, someone else did. Maybe have a go at them instead?
