Orient Funerals

[Long slender neck]

I've heard that the club are going to do weddings, but what about funerals? A lot of money to be made there considering our ageing fanbase.

We could have Alan Comfort presiding over things, ashes scattered over the pitch or perhaps made into a bovril lid? Wakes in the gallery.

Could easily charge 10k.

Bad taste post.

We get buried most weeks and has the atmosphere of a funeral in the West stand

[Give it to Jabo]

It was going ok until the mention of the Bovril lids....

Suggest you look up the word “moderate”

[Fanny]

Considering how bad Orient are at getting bodies in the box...

[BIGRON]

Bad taste post.

Agree , please delete this thread .

Think I read that you can no longer scatter ashes on the pitch- not just ours. Think it was to do with H & s

Why? Death happens. Lets profit.

And maybe we could drape Theo's Orient flag over the coffin like it was a state funeral . This has to be the most bizarre suggestion I've ever read on this board . Good WUM

Tasteless post, even when wrapped as wumming.

I think it's very fitting with the mood at the club at the moment, which is trying to use grief as a motivating force.

[Long slender neck]

There are people who would pay ££££ for an orient funeral. I personally wouldnt but many would. I dont see how this is tasteless.

Where there's much there's brass, and where there's ashes there's even more. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Mr Macklin take this idea forward.

Miniature souvenir coffins draped in an Orient flag would sell like hot cakes in the club shop.

They would need to be constructed from real wood as plastic ones would be tacky.

Get over yourselves ffs, death is part of life and PW is perfectly entitled to comment about the club offering such services

[OyinbO]

We just named our main stand after someone who died last summer, and had been at the club for just 18 months - and people think this suggestion is macabre?

Agreed. The club has to ruthlessly explore every potential income stream otherwise Macklins bonus could be in jeopardy.

We should also offer Barmitzvahs to avoid being called out as Anti-Semites.

Doing them would be a cut above

[Chicken Dhansak]

Why wouldn't you do it PW. You can suggest it, but wouldn't do it yourself. Strange.

WTF?

[Howling Mad Murdock]

WTF?

One of Caca's wums again.

[Lucky7]

Will the club be doing a pre season friendly with Interred Milan?

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Obviously a Wum given the comment about our ageing fan base but it’s actually a really good idea. I can absolutely see people going for this.

[OyinbO]

Death: it's the future.
