Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Ross Embleton and Danny Macklin will be joining myself, Barry Galvin and Adam Francis on Thursdays show at 7pm on Phoenix 98fm or online.
Any relevant questions below please.
I would like to add my genuine thanks to these people for helping make a show possible this week under the current circumstances.

Has everyone been tested before this event starts ?

Is it germ free ?

Danny- bet you wish you had gone with my orient funerals idea now?

Danny- it was said during the fans forum that o-nuts are unprofitable because they're shipped all the way from Spain. Why not switch to a local supplier and actually make some money?

Are you aware that the initials of your first names is an anagram of BEARD ?

Peak caca.

Ross what training are the players currently undertaking? Are they confined to their homes to train alone?

What's the word on the street as to when the game will resume? Government seems to think it will get worse so what's next?

Jeesh, why ask a football manager how a global pandemic will work out?

It's still the only decent question so far. People are making a real effort to come in and on this occasion it would be nice if we got some decent questions from the board. Thanks

Please thank Danny for getting the burgers back this season.

The analytics question must be asked this week.

Why even have a show this week? f*** all football has been played and you haven't any bottle to ask any interesting or off beat questions.

I also think my Question is entirely relevant
& Valid.

Have any of the people involved been tested & is it
Germ Free. Wouldnt want any of our important staff affected by a radio show . Assuming its taking place
In the studio & not via phones/tablets.

The studio is being cleaned regularly. All visitors have to wash their hands and use sanitiser and wipes mics etc are cleaned regularly and people are sitting apart not directly next to each other. There will be 4 in the studio with DM phoning in.
Plenty to talk about football wise with Ross, contracts, targets etc and DM will discuss various scenarios.
In all honesty it may well be the last show for a bit, like everyone we will have to see how things pan out.

Personally & in line with govenment advice , i think its an un-necessary event .
Why the club are allowing staff to mingle with the General Public is a bit strange .

I doubt they've stopped the staff from being in crowded supermarkets tbh. How could they. Idiotic comment as there'd be no live news progs, no radio shows etc if everyone completely stopped. All reasonable care is being taken and if the situation changes then we will act accordingly

Shopping is not an un-necessary event .

Reporting News on a proper platform is not the same as the Orient hour with all due respect.

Tuffers, with all due respect, I appreciate we are all aware of the situation and we are likely soon to be on lock down. The station is clean everybody in the door has to wash hands etc, if the situation worsens I believe the plan would be solo presenters recording their shows at home and that mixed with previously recorded shows and syndicated news. Ross is happy to come in with Barry, Adam and myself, but I doubt they'll be another show until the situation improves. All the best to you and your family along with all of you on the board, fingers crossed its not as bad as we fear it may be.

Do you know how your health will be in 2 weeks time ?

If Ross gets ill we know who to blame !

How close are we to securing Ruel and Marvin on new contracts?

I personally think that shows like this keep our spirits up. Otherwise what do we do? Sleep all day & night if there is nothing on our tvs & radio

You need tv and radio to enhance your daily productivity?
Each to there own I guess

What is the current situation relating to players contracts that will end at the end of this season. Has the club decided what players are to be released and have they been told.

Bonkers that you're all meeting up in a confined space to go ahead with this but ego's got to be stroked, I guess.

Couldn't you do it via conference call?
