Independent Leyton Orient Forum

We are now done, finished, finito. I secured an early morning 69 and the Opening Ceremony has taken place. The now vintage London Transport bus has driven past on its route to Chingford Mount. Loudspeakers on the lower deck played the full version of “Oh Orry Orry” whilst season ticket rebate vouchers were hurled from the top deck at the 3 members of the public who were shopping in the High Road. The BOC is grateful to the sponsorship of a bag of chips from the High Fry Fish Bar, now where’s that coke….?

Will you be leaving every other lane free in order to maintain social distancing?

Nah, the ground staff had to paint the lanes so that they are 3 metres in width anyway so as to accommodate the girth of BIGRON and the width of the flowing kilts and wobbling claymores.

Can you fix it for me to win as I need a bit of a lift after 12 weeks locked up.

lane 6 that will do for me

I'd better finish my pint a bit sharpish

Heat 1

Lane 1 I8uButler
Lane 2 EH16
Lane 3 Thor
Lane 4 tuffers#1
Lane 5 Apple Wumble
Lane 6 Banqo
Lane 7 BIGRON
Lane 8 o-no

No false starts and an early break from both BIGRON and tuffers#1 (the later opening his legs and showing his class from the off). An uncustomarily poor start from i8uButler whilst the rest are bunched.

As we enter the final third BIGRON looking very comfortable despite abandoning his diet in pursuit of the win your weight in beer prize beijing offered by the Club to all those generous enough to write off the remainder of their 2019/20 season ticket. tuffers#1 has fallen back slightly whilst Banqo and Thor have put in a comeback.

And we're across the line.......

Heat 1 results (first 4 positions listed only). Amazingly we have a dead heat between tuffers#1 and Banqo whilst Thor snuck over by a short head. BIGRON, easing down at the end with a pint in each hand comfortably makes the Semi’s. The rest of the competitors will have to await their fate. No drugs detected, you’re all getting good at hiding this boys…….
100 metre champion tuffers#1 qualifies as does the much fancied and admired BIGRON who had a disappointing outing in the 100.

Lane 2 EH16

Lane 5 Apple Wumble

Lane 7 BIGRON 4
Lane 8 o-no

Heat 2

Lane 1 point nine one eight
Lane 2 Eliotnes
Lane 3 Constanza
Lane 4 Admin
Lane 5 Disoriented
Lane 6 B.whitehouse+10more
Lane 7 Max B Gold
Lane 8 Adz 1

No false starts again (good job I’m not in this I’m the only bu**er who has ever had one so far) Disoriented and Adz take an early lead in the first third of the race. Admin away slowly as is Constanza.

As we enter the final third Adz is almost walking now he’s so far ahead. Constanza has put in a burst (was that an entry for the chocolate BandOff?) Very tight elsewhere between Eliotnes and Disoriented.

And we’re across the line……..

Heat 2 results (first 4 positions listed only). Adz could have jogged the last 10 backwards his lead was so impressive. A well deserved second for Eliotnes with Constanza (not bad for a javelin thrower) and Disoriented also qualifying. Await your fate the rest of you.

Heat 2 results (position in race after name)

Lane 1 point nine one eight
Lane 2 Eliotnes 2
Lane 3 Constanza 3
Lane 4 Admin
Lane 5 Disoriented 4
Lane 6 B.whitehouse+10more
Lane 7 Max B Gold
Lane 8 Adz 1

Heat 3

Lane 1 HeyO
Lane 2 Dunners
Lane 3 StillSpike
Lane 4 JimbO
Lane 5 Celtient
Lane 6 KC & sunshine band
Lane 7 Beradogs
Lane 8 yo yo y

Again no false starts in Heat 3 as Celtient roars clear from HeyO. Slow starts from Jimbo and KC & sunshine band this time.

With a third to go they are both still behind but Javelin star Dunners is making a push. Celtient still in contention but he seems to be running out of puff and has a much reduced lead.

And we are across the line and again we have no drugs cheats.

Heat 3 Results

Lane 1 HeyO
Lane 2 Dunners 3
Lane 3 StillSpike 4
Lane 4 JimbO
Lane 5 Celtient 1
Lane 6 KC & sunshine band
Lane 7 Beradogs 2
