Independent Leyton Orient Forum

apparently orient are working on a way
to have a cardboard cut out of oneself to be placed around the ground
so that you will be able to see yourself on TV.
didn't say how much it would cost just that it would be a bit of fun.

Might be the nearest I get to being in the ground for a while
Although I do see that EFL clubs are trying to get approval for fans to be allowed in by October.
They are talking about only allowing 25% of capacity being allowed in.

In the West Stand it won't make much difference! And yes I do sit in the West Stand!

Plenty of animated supporters at the top of the west, the eponymously named supporter excepted.

Dont think I am cut out for this

Not more dummies.

Under ‘The Clown’ we sang “We’re ****ing bored.”

Under C-19, we can sing “We’re ****ing board”.

Hope the material is 100% recyclable.

Ridiculous idea.

Are we playing at the Olympic Stadium now then?

might be for you. watching matches on TV without spectator's is out and out boring.
putting cardboard cut outs will be better than nothing.
maybe put some crowd sounds in as well.

Cardboard cutouts will entertain you? Crazy.

Wow that new word really hurt me, eponymously, so early in the day

Reminder: Arsenal's old ground (1992) were redeveloping one end so they painted a huge 'crowd scene' just behind the goal-line …. only they forgot to be 'PC' … the majority were Caucasian faces?

Wonder if any of the cardboard cut outs will have fans giving dodgy hand signals to the players.

At least we can sing " we're fecking board" again.

We will be a laughing stock

Hope there's a red faced Matt R***r cut out right behind the away dug out to give the true matchday experience.

With a megaphone linked to pre recorded abuse.

you don't get do you.
its not just about the OS its hopefully going to be used
for premiership games on TV just to give a crowd effect rather than just seeing empty seats.
there was a German match showing 13000 cut outs it look really good.
add sounds of the crowd behind the goals would make it even better.

For who's benefit?

Was done in the Bundesliga at Monchengladbach yesterday

Put all the cardboard cut outs at one end and rename it the James Alabi stand.

And if OFF’s presence was missed, they could always go down the Robot R***r route tried out in Taiwan:

all football supporters who watch games on the TV
just to give it a bit more presentation instead of looking at empty seats.

Personally, I'll be watching the pitch, not the stands.
