Saturday ko v Man City 12.15:ko just posted on FB

Effing arse of a time to ko
Especially for those travelling a distance & wishing a bit of pre match sustenance

Don’t mind it. Was dreading a Thursday or Friday night. Means the usual nobs who are out for this won’t be too pissed up and I get home early doors

Can’t see this anywhere official?

Been posted in FB by someone who seems to know what’s going on in the club , was spot on about the postponement Saturday before anyone else

Better than a night time kick off. You can have drinks & a meal after. Perfect imo. Will impact City fans more than O's though I do realise some travel a way

Yes, could be worse, if correct
Always prefer to have a beer before & anticipate, but maybe can celebrate post match, if I get a ticket

I disagree

A game of football involving Orient always looks better after a few.....

I wonder when we will be given the official date & time, can’t find any timetable for that anywhere.
Be interesting to see if our fb friend is correct or not

Where has this come from?

Some guy on fb posted it, on one of the o’s groups.
Apparently he said Derby game was off before it was announced, so who knows. Lucky guess?
Presumably the official dates will be announced soon anyway

Think it was in Stand up for the Orient
Looks like the post has been removed & anyone else posting fake dates will get banned or something
So maybe it was just made up bo11ox

Who is Shaun Howes?

sh*t left back TT brought with him from Cambridge.

Confirmed as Friday night, 8pm. City fans not happy!

@clpblue1: Absolute disgrace @ManCityHelp Does anyone actually care about the match going fans?? @itvfootball The last train home is before the game finishes!

@YellowMustangMM: Absolute disgrace that this has been agreed to. Not one minute’s thought for the travelling fans. 9,000 having to navigate #avantiwestcoast or Friday motorways with ridiculous options for getting home as well. At some point clubs need to stand up to TV and say no.

@LeeWild8: That's lovely, potentially 2-3am when the fans get home and lots will have to take time off work to go to because @fa... do not care about the fans at all. I imagine getting train back to Manchester will be tough so couch or driving only.

@blueinyorkshire: Last train back to Manchester on Friday for us city fans is 10.03.. before our match ends...it's a disgrace.

@byadamshaw: Last train back to Manchester is 10:03pm too, so for an 8pm KO this would be virtually impossible to catch (unless you leave way before FT). Luckily I live London, but it’s poor thinking from the FA.

@steviecruyff: So the match will finish around 10 pm and the last train back to Manchester is 10.03pm, the @FootballAssoc don’t give a damn for the fans do they.

@SteveRossUmp: Use public transport they say, don’t drive they say, then they put 9,500 fans in North London on a Friday night when the last train back to Manchester leaves before the game ends. Fans might make it back if they leave at half time - absolute joke @EmiratesFACup @FA

Confirmed by whom?

NOT confirmed

Hope it’s not an evening game. It feels like a Sunday afternoon game to me

Looks like champions league knockout playoffs are tues and weds the week after this game which city look like they might be in so they will be after a thurs or Friday

Just have to play a weakened team in the Champions League.

Why are they tweeting about 9500 in North London ??

Well, that's our capacity and their geography is terrible.

Why are they pretending they've all got to get a train back to Manchester?

Wearing a CP Company cagoule with stupid f*cking goggles in the hood doesn't make you Mancunian.
