Not at all, but without a fixture list I think most will find it hard to commit or choose their travel method.

Using my crystal ball, I would say that my preferred means of transport would be the supporters coach from the ground, but depending on when the fixture is I may either drive or use the train..........

There is no way of knowing at this stage whether Leyton Orient will still exist in their current form, playing at the same stadium, next season. Let's hope the mess they are in is sorted out PDQ & once the fixtures are out in early July we can start to plan. Somewhat pointless doing so before that. Tuesday evening in November?

Martin is 100% right. The possibilities of LOFC starting the next season in the NL are not great. Other options such as folding altogether, a 2 division relegation, reforming down several divisions lower as a AFC Orient, are all just as likely as far as I can tell. I'd feel more confident if they owned their ground.

Beggars belief that somebody is already wishing their life away talking about next season. Little tip-go on holiday, see some beautiful sights over the summer, meet new people and explore and then worry about next season at the start of August.

I am going to stick my neck out and saying they will be in the national league next season!
I see Brisbane road has a capacity of 9,250 and is all seater.

Also called Matchroom Stadium There lies one (of several) major problems. The freehold of the ground was transferred to Matchroom's pension fund. According to wiki, "Matchroom is a sports event promotions company led by the founder and owner English entrepreneur Barry Hearn and his son Eddie" Hearn, of course, was the chairman of Leyton Orient from 1995 to 2014. So the former chairman's company pension fund owns the ground. Not a very happy position for the football club. |

I think its probably better that the former chairman owns the ground then the current one....

I started to write a post about where the money comes from and about sports investment parasites spanning snooker, boxing, footy et al. Then I though better not.
