Bristol Rob Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 At least it was called off early so those planning on going can get launched this evening. Can't imaging Orient would want to lose the bumper New Years revenue without very good reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 The company 'SAG' who inspected it just doesn't sound right either. In light of corruption in English football, I wonder how much orient would have paid this company to make that call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNBT Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Seems like their running scared cause they got players injured/suspended & we're on a run grr was looking forward to us coming back with a point minimum as reckon we had excellent chance of that if not a win. Really dodge it only getting called off now & doesn't sound like they've even tried sorting the problem MEH. Anyone want to drive me up I'll get the duck tape out & put some torches up as well I'm sure our lads be happy with that :laugh: :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real_bristol Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Conspiracy. We've hit good form, they've got injuries to their best players. Running scared and no doubt will have time to strengthen before they play us again. Pathetic excuse for postponement. I call foul play. I'm suspicious myself. I think their manager was on FLS Sunday night and said himself he had injuries to deal with. Could be a clever move but best to be safe than sorry and give LO benefit of doubt I suppose. Thinking positively our players might appreciate the rest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

everreddy Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I'm absolutely furious about this. As well as the match ticket, have shelled out for rail tickets and turned down other family jollies to be there. Reckon Orient could have tried a bit harder to get the problem fixed. Conspiracy theory has some validity, IMO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chaplain Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Very disappointed in this, had 6 tickets for the game with people coming up and arranging New Year's festivities around it. Seems very dodgy too, I don't live too far away and there's been no really bad weather, certainly not since the night of the 23rd. Orient say damage sustained 'over the Christmas period' did no-one notice this until this morning? How much effort has gone into getting it repaired? I hope City, and the league, have had some independent verification, stadiums can get particularly fragile when you've 5 players out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TNBT Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 I reckon they should get fined for not running a proper service :-) Can't help but think it's dodge, I want a full inquiry & explanation of what's happened & I want it NOW!!

Cider red Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Cheating arseholes! Clearly just a ploy to get out of the game due to their injuries. I hope they drop out the auto spots tommorow and stay there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cider red Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Apparently a couple of their players where allowed 2 days off training before the game had any signs of being called off, seams convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craven arms Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Absolute joke. I guess damage can't be helped but what a small time club Orient really are. I'm fuming and was looking forward to going up! After initially getting slammed,the flamers are disappearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
