Independent Leyton Orient Forum

When will EFL or Leyton Orient announce if game is on/off?

I'm going for Sat 26th Sept @ 14:00 hours.

After Cox scores in the 3rd minute

They're waiting on Judge Spen to make an announcement.

My money is on Sat 26 @ 14:59:59

Rule 5.1 covers this, guys. Come on!

I think it will be on tbh. Orient aint gonna want to get points deducted. a loss with the youth team is better than getting docked 3 points for not turning up.

All persons will be expected to self-declare that they have not, within the past 14 days, been in
contact with anyone with suspected or confirmed Covid-19, nor are they displaying any symptoms
of Covid-19.
A temperature screening service should be present at each entrance of the stadium. Aa base line
should be agreed with your Covid-19 Medical Officer. All those allowed to get into the stadium will
have their temperature scanned. Should person display an elevated temperature reading then
that person will be refused entry / taken to the isolation room.
Social distancing should be maintained at each testing point.
Where a person displays a temperature and is refused entry, a thorough clean of that area must
take place ahead of anyone else accessing it.
Should this be defined as a key role – the role contingency contact should be instructed to make
their way to the stadium.
Relevant Staff and Match Officials should undertake testing as dictated by the EFL. They must
have produced a negative test result in the testing round prior to the matchday to be declared fit.
They must still undertake temperature checks and self-declare at the entry point to the ground.

Different competition Ron, different rules

We had to provide a team to fulfill a game in the carabo cup but, league rules are less strict surrounding playing after a covid ‘episode’

Rule 5.1 must be followed.

I know that it was the SPL but were Celtic and Aberdeen docked points when they had games postponed?
In Celtic's case it was because a player blatantly disregarded the rules, flew to Spain for a day, did not declare the trip and failed to quarantine on return then played in a game.

I just don't understand how supposed supporters of a club appear so keen to see their club punished.

If anyone from the club is reading this, please change Sotirious shirt number to 51 before the next game and do that funky foreign thing where players put their first name on their shirts, not their surnames. Please.

So what will we all be doing at kick-off time instead of listening to the commentary or watching the live stream of the match.

I’m going to be watching Essex vs Somerset on the BBC stream. Come on Essex

Haringey Borough has a home game today.

Enjoying looking at the full-time scores.

Nobody in L2 has got a 100% win record after just 3 games. It's early days but I think this league will be tight, if it actually finishes.

But Sarfend are doomed already IMO
