Nice little ground, but it would be a major error and only confirm that it is The End of Super League in London.

You wonder how many grounds they must have enquired at before Hampshire became a viable option.

And to add to the rumour mill on the Orient fans forum, Orient have an AGM next Wednesday and there is also an announcement at 10.30 that day. http://s16124652.onlinehome-server.info ... d56e79e5db

Loved the Gallery and the real ale bar. Top pub near the cemetery. Increase the length of the pitch by wheeling in a bit of astroturf behind the goals. Let Barry Hearn have a go at marketing, he seems to do ok with the other sports he has been involved in. Not in a Union heartland and best of all in LONDON.

At least orient is london

Re: Interesting- Farnborough : Thu Apr 11, 2013 2:10 pm  

you know if we ended up in orient and more importantly if Hearn was involved! wonder if he would put up with the state of things at the moment, I doublt it
Pain in the butt for me to get to but hey I think I would still make the effort if it was leyton

Wouldnt have been my first choice and its a pin for me - how do you get to it by public transport from Hampshire? However rather there than out of Londomn and if Hearn got involved i would be all for it. he is a serious business man and involved in sport - and knows how to sell

Probably be a case of train to Waterloo , jubilee line to Stratford then central to leytonstone , unless you fancy walking through the Olympic / QE2 park from Stratford,although I'm not sure how long it would take you on Shank's pony.

Starting to think Gus is a genius.......8 months ago a great many fans were against any move......he chips in with Gillingham as a taster, safe in the knowledge that his real choice, Orient, will be welcomed with open arms.

It would seem that only a handful of us are still curious as to why exactly we are leaving the stoop......we never EVER had an issue with being kicked off the park before this year, it is a Rugby Stadium and we have attracted decent crowds there in the past.....a change of venue is not the solution, but by clever manipulation of what we're told, Orient will seem like a brilliant idea by the time it is announced.


It really is becoming a case of "the emperor's new clothes" with regard to the goings on at the club
