Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Our owners are not even Top Ten. Very strange IMO.

1st Place – Andy Holt – Accrington Stanley
2nd Place – Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha – Leicester City
3rd Place – Paul Ballantyne / Luton 2020 – Luton Town
4th Place – Carol Shanahan – Port Vale
5th Place – Simon Sadler – Blackpool
6th Place – Clive Nates – Lincoln City
7th Place – Matthew Benham – Brentford
8th Place – Stephen Lansdown – Bristol City
9th Place – NSWE / Nassef Sawiris / Wes Edens – Aston Villa
10th Place – Mark and Nicola Palios – Tranmere Rovers

Complete farce, only 3000 fans polled from 141 clubs which is less than 22 fans per club. And from those 3000 how many actually bothered to respond.

Plus ours are new to the game and people don’t yet see what they have done.

The fact Blackpool's owner is in there and he has been in charge far less time than Orient's owners blows that idea out of the water

You've misunderstood. They didn't approach 3,000 fans directly, they carried out an open poll (via Twitter mostly, I imagine) and 3,043 people responded. The full results are at https://www.againstleague3.co.uk/2020/0 ... l-results/ and show 122 O's fans as having responded.

If you sort the results by overall rating, looks like we were 11th with an overall rating of 90.94. We'd have polled higher were it not for ratings of 6.89 for football (presumably due to the survey being carried out in October/November this season, suspect the number would have been much higher if the survey had been in May!) compared to, say, 8.2 for Port Vale, and 6.41 for stadium (compared to, say, 7.69 for Port Vale).

I notice there were a few that ostensibly were in the top ten but aren't mentioned, presumably due to too few people responding; for example, only 2 Salford fans responded and gave an overall rating of 97.5, or the 4 Fleetwood fans who responded and gave an overall rating of 96.

What is it about our owners, that make people on here, think they're better than any of the top 10 owners?

I can't understand why Beelzebub isn't in there.

Spens back!!

Plus 15k Blackpool fans voted - probably.

11th isn’t too shoddy. Andy Holt definitely deserves to be at the top of the pile.

In a survey of 3000 fans?

Agreed he also talks a lot of sense which the FA may do well to talk to him about the current state of the game in he lower leagues. Plus he proper cares, really cares.

What happened to the Notts County owner who tweeted a picture of his c*ck? He seemed like a laugh.

Nothing happened Huxley.

In Scotland the answer is the Well Society.

104. In fact only 4 clubs had more respondees than Orient, and all of them are ones where fans rated them at the bottom end of the appreciation scale - Carlisle, Charlton, Oldham and Chesterfield.

Well from a purist point of view, a base size of 8 isn't really much of a sample to go on - so from that point of view if Brentford and Villa's totals were discounted we'd be 9th. But also from a purist point of view you'd want to collect a minimum number of responses per club (say 20) so you could accurately rank all teams, not have to exclude some.

Barry Hearn for what he done for us, just a shame Beelzebub ruined all of that.

Probably not eligible on the basis he is not the owner of Leyton Orient
