Good to see that Orient have become a more grown up club than back in the days where instead of scummy betting companies, they’d let the stadium be used in June by fans who wanted to have a kickabout and raise money in memory of an Orient fan who died way too young.

Progress!

I thought it was only a part of it was being repaired . The ground in the goalmouth of the south stand goal looks a bit ropey and worn .

There’s a typo in point 17 of their T&Cs. You’d think a betting company would be sh*t on things like that. Amateurs.

And point 18 stops mid sentence, no idea what the term is. Someone obviously nodded off during this section.

Wow, the phrase ‘too much time on your hands’ springs to mind Rev, if you have even bothered with this to, A) read the T&Cs, and B) spotted a typo in point 17.

And lets said scummy betting company take the piss out of us in their promo. The Club just loves the taste of that sweet sweet dollar.

Seems a great event to me. Better than phone a premium line number, at a premium cost, to win a ‘competition’. Wish I’d known about it earlier to enter.

What is the perfect penalty-taking technique, then? A penanka?

It didn’t take that long to read them. The sarcastic tone about Orient in the main copy irritated me so I fancied seeing if the smug t*sser who signed it off is so perfect themselves. Turns out they aren’t.

I also really hate betting companies so happy to point out any mistakes they make.
