Today's no shows

At the beginning of the season we were 4 sometimes 5 of us, today we're zero.
Last game for me was Home to Colchester.
Sad times these when I've been supporting this club for 50 years and I really can't be bothered to go.
Doesn't mean I'm any less of a supporter, I don't want a miserable 90mins journey home anymore!!
This whole farcical situation of delaying getting a Manager in will cost us big time unless there is a dramatic turnaround in fortunes.
Stevenage hadn't scored for 4 games until today and look what's going on??
Why the hell is Ogie on the bench?
Just total madness all this.
RIP Warney

Opening post is spot on ...
Been going 50 plus years myself most of them
as a season ticket holder, I’ve seen some dire
performances the 1-5 home defeats in the early
80s to Bristol Rovers, Newport and Oxford..
3-7 home defeat to Chelsea, losing to Enfield,
Hendon and Margate in the cup ..
Crowds of under 2000, substandard player
recruitment joining the club, losing to Scunthorpe
2-3 despite being 2-0 up in the 90th min..
But what we are having to watch performance
wise now is embarrassing..
I won’t be back certainly for a long while,
whilst the club is in free fall/ turmoil I deserve
better along with the Leyton Orient fans based
around the world ..
London’s 2nd oldest club is nowadays nothing
more than a summer camp in the USA ..

Couldn’t agree more, I have been going for 65 years , the large majority of them as a season ticket holder.
After today and performances this year, I will not be back for some while either.
The performances have been painful to watch .
The club need to act fast or they will lose a large amount of revenue from demoralised and p*ssed off fans.

3 x 1-5 defeats at home.
3 x 8-0 wins at home.
However, I have never seen football this poor. Will be watching every game until we’re relegated. Then that’s it.

Three 5-1 defeats at home on the trot, wasn’t it? Under Frank Clark. I saw all three as well, after the third one a few of us went to Bristol Rovers at the old Eastville to see us play out a 0-0 draw and it seemed like a win. We saw Neville Ovenden outside the ground and he thanked us all for going, a nice touch.
Yesterday I couldn’t even be arsed to get off work early and go to the game. I’m not a ST holder because I tend to work most Saturdays but I can’t justify £25 (plus the necessary beers to make it even partly bearable) for crap like that. Loyalty can only be stretched so far, and I won’t be the only one.

I am sure your view is replicated by many, as you say loyalty can only be stretched so far and is also a two way thing, time for Nigel and Kent to wake up and smell the coffee !

I only didn’t go because a friend was in London and couldn’t get him a ticket near me

Central Line closure would have put a few off yesterday
