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.

How much you paying?

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.

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.

Sorry to hear you're not commentating anymore Andy and thanks for all the hard work you put in to keep the Orient Hour on the air.

As I said there, where I was put right on a point I was unsure of about Gilso walking away/being pushed that’s a hell of a long service he’s put in, and I’m guessing most of it (if not all) was on a voluntary basis. I hope the Club sees fit to acknowledge it publicly somehow - in the programme or on the website, maybe.

Hi mate, if you're referring to Orient Hour being recorded in Brentwood, then yes it is . If you are still interested in coming on then get in touch.

Yeah "voluntary", but presumably he has got into hundreds of games for free. he is also able to name drop 3 people from the club on this thread alone.

Yeah, fine at talking about things as a sidekick but a terrible presenter. Can't read anything prepared without stumbling over every other word.

No I didn't pay, but I've painted the wall of the ground for free, worked in the office for free when they were skint in the 90s ,delivered stuff collected stuff,and voiced over at studios for free, so I've helped to raise a lot more than if I had just paid my money and watched, also paid money for players boots when the club was skint and the board sat on their hands, I gave my time, obviously I enjoyed it and I enjoyed the people. Just like the staff in the supporters club give their time for free. If it upsets you that you expected me to pay as well ,then I can only apologise.

They should have paid you. After all, i thought you disliked charity(shops)? You've basically taken a job out of the economy.
