Matchroom if you please.. lots of redevelopment; all 4 corners built with blocks of flats with bootiful views of the pitch.. from the outside it hardly looks like a football ground. 9,400 capacity or thereabouts.

 

Cricket Club played footie in winter and the team was born in answer to reddog

 

Off for some kip.. give me something glorious to wake up to me babbers.

Prolly right, Noggers. It felt like 2-0 though.

What a shithole Brisbane Road was!

 

I much preferred it then to how it looks now.

 

Such a disappointing game, City had a real off night and it seemed like a Godsend when the lights went out.

 

Think it was announced as the 'final attempt', after a good quarter of an hour, when they suddenly got them going again, and the last 10 minutes or so of the match was played out without City troubling them.

I was living in Reading at the time and I went with a City mate who lived in Southend (yes, the ends of the Known Universe ;) ). We ended up in a weird pub near Liverpool Street where everyone was dressed in full teddy boy & girl gear, even the grandparents and the little babbers.

Imagine there'll be more squad rotation tonight.

 

Recalls for Joe Bryan, Wade Elliot, even perhaps Jet?  :dunno:

 

Saville certain to be included in the 18 - without Matt Smith we've only got  the bare minimum18 to choose from, including the 2 GK's.

Just had a text from a friend who has gone on then official 'CATS'....apparently they have got stuck slap bang in the middle of central London by Tower Bridge and will be struggling to make kick off.

 

One organiser has got off and got the tube as they are carrying a load of tickets that are to be collected at the ground

 

...and another fan has got off and decided to make his own way to the ground

I remember a previous visit to Orient in the 80's when a load of fans suddenly appeared on the touchline and trudged past us down the side of the pitch to what was then the away end.

 

Heard later they were from a supporters coach which had been delayed in traffic - can't remember if it was during the first half or at h/t but they must have missed a fair chunk of the game.

I think this game would of been ideal for jet to start .. Good to see pack keeping his place and Bryan back in . I prefer pack over Elliot although Smith must push more forward otherwise front 3 are too isolated .

Surely Freemans the one that should be pushed forward?

Are you sure that was not 1990? The traffic was terrible, 5 hours in the car and got there 15 minutes after kick off. 1-1 draw after being 1 down at h/t.

Expecting a much improved performance after Saturday.

 

At the end of the day on paper this is the best away side in the division versus Orient, who have the worst home record in the division winning just 3 times all season.

 

They've won their last two against Walsall and Oldham who aren't in great form themselves and I'm confident we'll be a different proposition this evening.

 

Little disappointed JEt doesn't start and slightly worried that the bench without Smith doesn't look terribly attacking or that it has sufficient attacking options.

They're going through Central London to Leyton - for an evening game?

:facepalm:
