They don't have a bad record away from Brisbane rd. If the game goes ahead (according to radio Solent just now seems a little iffy) I'm going for 1-0 if Reda plays, 1-1 if he doesn't.

Yes, keep the covers on and look at the water table in Taylov's garden on Saturday morning!
Their squad has a lot of FL experience, their manager is IMO good, and he has got a team out of this league before, but they are still reeling from relegation and everything that's gone on behind the scenes. Regroup for next season. Like us, I expect them to stay in this league fairly easily, despite poor recent form. Another one of Hess' old clubs, too.
As bomber says, they've got a better away record than at home, where expectations (and criticism) are high. Could go either way, so I'll predict a draw. And a big crowd.

1 degree not taking into consideration wind chill and snow forecast all day. Think I’ll stay at home and watch Jeff in front of my coal fire.

Orient lost at home midweek to Torquay...we haven't played for three weeks...should be a home win then. All depends though on the state of the pitch and how Orient set up, they'll probably sit deep and rely on set pieces until the first goal....if its us that gets it. A second from us would then force them to come out and that opens up the space...I'll go 4-1.

You and your son enjoy yourself bomber. Like I said, coal fire, draught Guinness and rugby on too. I hope you have a better afternoon than me.

So what chances of a game today?

Well the 'It's matchday!' tweet has arrived, together with a picture of half the pitch, which looks fine.
Light snow forecast from 1200 for the rest of the day, which tells us very little (could be no snow to lots of snow).
Dover was called off at 0800 last Sat, so presumably the pitch isn't as wet as last week. Unless Taylov's garden tells us otherwise?
Probably a fair chance of it being on, at a guess, unless the snow is worse than expected. With the temperature not forecast to drop below +1 degree it probably won't stay on the ground.
I agree that in normal circumstances Orient might have brought 500 or so. Not sure now, with the weather and some fans' unhappiness with the way things are going.

News from the garden - heavy going but unlike last week we haven't had to go out and rescue the cat as he sunk.

And the cat isn't under two feet of snow yet? Mind you, we'd better ask that question again in about 3-4 hours.
EDIT: Latest EFC Tweet:
There has been no pitch inspection today, and as it stands, there is not one planned.

Think I'll put a coat on and man up, along with my ten year old son. ‘Man up’ ha, just done park run and 3 mile dog walk in -1 and snow. Can’t see the point in driving down in dangerous conditions to stand there in bone chilling temperatures watching absolute shi.te when I could be doing better, warmer things. Quite what’s that got to do with being a man’ puzzles me.

Not much to do with being a man granted; but quite a lot to do with being a supporter of EFC. Looking forward to 3 points and the safety that that will ensure.

Just chuck this in the mix, hopefully will not cause problems at ground. Eastleigh town centre has had no power for a couple of hours will hopefully be back on by 1.At my place near leigh rd power has gone on and off 3 times. RUSSIAN CYBER ATTACK.
