Orient match thread - Page 3

Glad to see common sense has prevailed, but this should never have been an issue in the first place. We are the LAST club who should be refusing something like this, firstly, because of the way other fans rallied to our cause in 2009 and, secondly, because of the heartbreak we went through in 1962.

Which has what to do with Burgess refusing? might have known you would try it on.

If we didn't need it why did we collect it and where is it now?

The state of the club then relied on a miracle not a bucket collection and luckily we got one.

Happy for you to elaborate on your statement!

That's not really the point though Rob is it? We all know there were question marks about what money went where but in the end we came through it, obviously with the help of certain people & not entirely through the efforts of our fundraising campaign but this is about helping another club in a desperate situation in whatever small way we can & for most of us putting a few coins in a bucket is a way we can show our support - it's about trying to do our bit if we choose to

There you go. As predicted.

Anyone not made a bad decision before? As long as you have the good sense to listen to others and not be a stubborn arse about things then all seems pretty good to me.

So has he listened to others or been Told by the Gods? you seem to know.

No, sorry - that just doesn't cut it, he should never have put our club in that position in the first place - to even try & make up for some of the damage he's done he should be volunteering to shake a bucket for them himself

He should be fined a weeks wage and made to put it in the bucket

He should have done this, he should have done that... well actually what has happened is that Stanley has now been shown to have very caring fans and a management that listens to them. Plus, Orient have more publicity for their campaign as a result and more likelihood of a better collection tomorrow.

Maybe this can be filed under "storm in a tea cup"?

Lord Didsbury · 13-03-2017, 21:32

And onto the job in hand.... unchanged team apart from Clark for Clare?
Orient will be desperate for points, but they will be up against the wrong team at the wrong time. 3-1 to us!

Glad that decision has been reversed. However it came about, it's the right thing to do.

We may be strapped for cash in this neck of the woods, but the fans of Leyton Orient will find the people of Accrington to be not only sympathetic to their plight but also the most generous.
We don't kick a man when he's down & I for one will be happy to dig deep to support our brothers in their desperation to save their club from the abyss.
'There but for the grace of God' etc.
Having said that, my generosity of spirit will end at 7.45pm on Tuesday night.

Is the young lad Clare not fit? If not throw Clark back in otherwise I'd like to keep it the same team that started at SJP

Lord Love Rocket · 13-03-2017, 23:22

What's the latest on this Portuguese lad from tadcaster?
