RW bemoaned the loss of the Saturday fixture pointing out that International weeks have fallen on four of our home games.It ain't fitting.

International breaks happen. Not helpful but that’s the way it is. It’s not what happens that matters but how you deal with it. We need to deal with it and move on like all affected clubs.

Get real dohnut we need the money of Saturday fixtures,it may suit you not having a seasoncard,but us seasoncard holders want our football on a Saturday not a Tuesday night,too many times we end up playing two games a week and we don't have a full, good enough squad for that.Cobblers to the way it is,it does not have to be like that.Fixtures for lower league clubs can be set not to losing four Saturday games,the money lost could be put to helping next seasons squad or even the January fenetre. |

Well said red plus of course those away fans that might have come on a Saturday won’t come on a Tuesday night . I wonder how long will it be before we are playing our football in near empty ,no atmosphere stadiums 😡 |

Lot of supporters with a long way to travel and get home very late and work next day.Dohnut travels a long way to Orient and good on him for that.Plus a cold or wet Tuesday night will keep more away.During my last seven or so years at work I would avoid the Tuesday night game as getting up at 5 or 6 O'clock was not at all nice as you had not long enough to recover from Tuesdays work.I would in August or September and stop then,unless it was a good cup match such as Arsenal.

We need money from decent home results. Our results at home are appalling. That is going to cost us money and that is well within our control. Maybe we need to sort that out before rolling out the excuses of the international break. Do the maths, that will impact us more than the international break and the impact will last longer than a 3 home games where we have already received season card money, poor results affect us for the other 20 games. The point being - sort out those things within our control before moaning about the things that are not! Thats how a business works! |

The International break is not an excuse for poor form,in ten league games we have had perhaps three poor games,the rest played as a decent League 1 team.My comment is Saturday games being played on a remote Tuesday night losing the club money due to poor support.It has proved unpopular with the fans and this season we have four home games on international week ends that have little interest for Orient fans.
The league fixtures could and should be arranged that we have only two home games on International week ends that might be postponed,not just us but also other L1 OR L2 teams.
As a statistic I wonder how Tuesday night games compare with the results of Saturday games.

As a statistic I wonder how Tuesday night games compare with the results of Saturday games. Same argument applies. Poor results drive people away, even on Saturdays. Getting results right will improve attendance figures, even on wet Tuesday nights. If attendance is a major concern the thing to do is get better results. Better results drive attendance figures. We are s***e at home, who wants to see that? That needs fixing. Down to us. Priorities not excuses. |
