Just may be if you came and sat in the stands you would find out. Mimd you, what would block out the view to the seat behind, the head or that crown?

Back to the game.....we won and there's not a lot more to say really.
The first half was dreadful and we improved when Sibley came on (which was a forced substitution and not a tactical masterstroke by the manager) but any quality in the game was very sporadic
The Os had the most dangerous player on the pitch (number 7) and I was amazed when they took him off.
League 1 has always been labelled "the pub league" but this year it's actually struggling to meet even that standard.
It really is very poor which just goes to emphasise the level we've dropped to.

Suspect their number 7 wasn't fit (match-fit). His first burst down their right was blindingly fast but he gradually faded - thankfully. If he could maintain that pace and level of performance for 90 minutes, I don't think he'd be playing for the Orient!

Indeed.
That says and encompasses all reports.
Which is what’s bothering me, like all the level headed, I care.

Don't you think cause the game was on sky sports + last night effected the attendance somewhat? More so fans have lost the faith in the set-up at the moment. Odds on that's not going to change before next season so how are they going to restore it? Not rush recruitment for one look at the risk factor of signing players who've been playing season in season out.

Give over, please, live on sky times before and it didn’t. “More so fans have etc”. Make your mind up which side of the fence you want.

Hands up all that think the set up we currently have is a good one and the recruitment etc, the state of matches, players, fitness, and so on is of a good std? (Generally)

That should help RU66 out.

Surely he can have two reasons why he thinks people are not attending games.

Surely, but we all know which reason will account for most of it! ��

It?s cost affective to miss odd games.

I must admit I don?t like being admonished by a absent fake monarch, who knows little of what goes off, swings from opinion to differing opinion.
Having said that, the queen of sheba will probably say it was tongue in cheek or irony, making a perceived point perversely.

You didn?t have to be there, the footage showed the lack of bodies.

Of course it was tongue in cheek as it's patently obvious why people are staying away. Maybe you should try dishing out less admonishments yourself if you don't like them back? I've quoted the players' wages thread 2-3 times recently and in every case qualified it with "if it's to be believed" which in itself is tantamount to acknowledging it probably isn't.
