13/01/09 - Leyton Orient Rearranged

Given the fact they couldnt get it on mid day on a sunny saturday afternoon

how are they going to get it on at night, with temperatures still going down?

is it possible that when everyone else is playing their 4th round game, we will be playing in the 3rd?

 

[Sensiblade]

Yes............

 

[keenzy]

dont call it off when we get there this time.

 

[S64 Blade]

It's going to 'warm up' by the end of this week i believe, so shouldn't be as bad temperature wise. Plus i'm sure they'll be doing all they can to make sure this game goes ahead, they'll be losing money after all.

We'll try again shall we?

All those who travelled on the coach can get tickets for this fixture's travel for £10, all those who didn't, it's £18 and you've got to book by tomorrow.

Afternoon off is sorted for me, so looks like we're going?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I really don't know if I can cope with the stress of that journey again

You offering to bring us some dinner?

 

[BuryStEdmundsBlade]

Does anyone know if the radio commentary (radio Sheffield) will be available online because it's an fa cup game and not a league game which aren't allowed to be broadcast online? I really hope it is so I can listen!

 

[Linz]

ITV hold the rights for the TV FA Cup stuff... dunno if that means the BBC will be even less likely to have radio commentary available or not though.

Forgot about that, damn!!! :thumbdown:

The Orient fans aren't happy bunnies after their 3-0 defeat to Leicester at the weekend. HERE's their predictions anywho... (they have higher hopes than us for our strikeforce!)

Apparently there's going to be a pitch inspection tomorrow (why?) so we shall see whether it's worth the trip or not

As an EDIT: They are currently wanting their manager out. Which could work one of two ways for us.

a) We absolutely slaughter a team who are lacking leadership and confidence.

b) We face a team who are fired up after criticism and a sound beating by Leicester.

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

Mmmmm, a warm 8 degrees in London today with the same forecast for tomorrow. Can't see a problem with the pitch to be honest.

 

[Linz]

I should imagine we'll be heading to the Coach and Horses again later for all those making the trip.

I also imagine we'll be there early... seeing as the coaches leave at 1pm!

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

I might struggle across there.

 

[Come from away]

Any chance that Walker might get a game, be good to see another youngster in the team.

 

[S64 Blade]

It would be nice if Walker was included in the squad. Although it's probably more unlikely now Bromby has joined.

 

[beightonblade]

The first time ever i've had tickets for a match and not bothered travelling.
I salute you Blades who are.

 

[Come from away]

Hopefully we will get through and the fans can show up at the lane. All credit to those making the journey tonight.

 

[S64 Blade]

Walker is starting tonight.

 

[joebolton]

any team news for tonight

 

[S64 Blade]

Yeah just been on Radio Sheffield.

I think the team is.

Bennett
--------
Halford
Morgan
Walker
Killa
--------
Naughton
Montgomery
Jihai
Cotterill
--------
Henderson
Sharp

 

[BexleyBlade]

Good mix. Blood in Walker. Get Cotts some game time. Chance for Hendo to get a run of form going and let Naughton show us what he's got.

Shame Stokes isn't starting?
Eh Conor?

 

[metalblade]

And now we are losing at Orient FFS
