Who has asked the CEO that question? Why have they asked it?
What a weird phrasing of a question

That’s nowhere near big enough when you also consider the stands that need to be built. I was just wondering how many times a year is that hockey stadium used in the Olympic park. It was being used yesterday but it’s normally closed. I can’t help thinking that space is going to waste
The space behind is even bigger & Behind Lamas rd is bigger .RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:55 amThat’s nowhere near big enough when you also consider the stands that need to be built.

Could have a pre/post match drink in the nearby Youngs pub, too. How good would that be??RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:55 amThat’s nowhere near big enough when you also consider the stands that need to be built.

The Hockey Centre is used every weekend and midweek for matches and training by a consortium of four local clubs, including Waltham Forest HC. There is also a regular programme of elite club and international fixtures. The footprint of the site is too small for a stadium bigger than what's there now given the proximity of the A12 and the Velodrome/cycling infrastructure in the Olympic Park.RedDwarf 1881 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:55 amThat’s nowhere near big enough when you also consider the stands that need to be built.

Very good point .OTF Photography Ltd wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 9:09 am Weird that for years there was always ‘no space available in Waltham forest’ and then the soccer centre literally next to our ground gets demolished for flats. Would have been perfect to build a bigger stadium and still be basically in the same location like Brentford.
You jest of course?
OK, that's fair enough .Its being used a lot more then I realised .LeytonstoneO wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 10:40 amThe Hockey Centre is used every weekend and midweek for matches and training by a consortium of four local clubs, including Waltham Forest HC.

Quite right. And i was looking on the Swindon forum yesterday and one of their fans said, ' Orient is one of my favourite away days'. And that made me feel quite proud but it also made me mad to think we are always talking about having to move, something that was totally unnecessary until some bulls--t of a chairman came along. Never mind the likes of that individual Bechetti, but the person that f--ked up Brisbane road as far as any future expansion goes was Barry Hearn. He kicked us fans in the arse and then walked away with his bundle of cash.The Reverend wrote: ↑Sun Mar 05, 2023 8:17 am Not that I think it’s going to happen but if Orient moved to some soulless identikit stadium in Essex which is half empty every week then that’s me finished. I’ve visited plenty of those as an away fan (Colchester United springs to mind) and I always leave feeling grateful that we have a home with character.
Much to my annoyance all the programmes were sold out by the time I arrived at the ground at. 2. 30 pm so I didn't get a chance to read that . It's intriguing. Who asked the question and where do they propose ? Could Mark Devlin please give us more details on that ?BiggsyMalone wrote: ↑Sat Mar 04, 2023 10:57 pm Reading Devlin’s programme notes, he says “we have also been asked if the club would consider moving to a new stadium”
