Independent Leyton Orient Forum

It's just been announced by the EFL that the League Two season is over. Promotion and relegation to be determined.
Never in any doubt was it?

Can't believe it's taken this long.

Three cheers to Ross for keeping Orient up

Look forward to continued successes under his stewardship next season

Carl Fletcher has just updated his CV and changed it to unbeaten at Leyton Orient

Just as well

P.P.G system to be used for promotion relegation

Fletcher updates C.V

OOPS ;- Relegated

This decision if ratified could cause lasting damage to the game. Personally I think it's a mistake.

They should have pressured the government to bail out the league with a grant, pay for the tests and try to complete the programme. Now anytime theres an issue in future the decision process will be to follow the precedent and will that affect peoples decisions to invest money in a club be it a shareholder or fan?

So take away valuable testing resources from the system and inflict the cost of testing on each club (I think I read its £4m for leagues 1 and 2)? I have no appetite to see out these last 9 games. As for government intervention - thats an even more dangerous precedent. They'd have to do it for all sports - so thats never happening.

Unbeaten at home this year!

Plus there's the fact that some clubs have put players on furlough, so there would have been costs in bringing them out of the CJRS to play out the season. All those costs would not have been made back from streaming those games.

Odd take on it.

We're in extraordinary circumstances and the league has correctly decided not to flog a dead horse for no reason whatsoever. The only surprise is that it's taken this long.

As to the future - the only difference it's likely to make is that clubs will try to get the best results out of all their games rather than adopting the current strategy of not bothering in the start of the season and relying on catching up their points per game towards the end of the season. Oh, wait a minute - no one has that strategy.

Looking forward to certain unhappy people saying we've stayed up by default now.

Looking forward to the begging letter from he club about my remaining season ticket.

Shut up, you clown.

Well that's an nice response, or at least it's what I expect of an uneducated oath like yourself. Have a good day being you.

I know talking bollocks is a speciality of yours, but this is a quite spectacular effort.
