We all gotta go.

As per the link an Orient fan kindly posted there is a new verse we need to master at the end of the well loved O's ditty: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Re-9dMiBPWY

Will come over well on Sky will that.

Unfortunately i think a good few people will use the game being on sky to not go along. Surely we must take 1500-2000 to cheer the boys on.

I hope the first game is a real hum dinger as we may get picked for the replay. Be a nightnare to be 3-0 down for the home leg and not picked for sky to see an empty roots hall.

We need a a few signings as we have too many games for people to get cup tied suspended in.

Shaping up to be a great season

Im sure we will still take a lot even if its on TV.

I will be a TV armchair fan for the away game, no way I can get there on a Tuesday. Fingers crossed we can come away with a draw at least to keep the tie alive for the home leg.

 

[shrimperjon]

Actually i dont think we will have any trouble getting 2000 there. Ive always been to Orient and we always take a massive following. This is such an important game with the prize of wembley, i urge everyone to go and make it our ground. Orient fans are always so quiet with their one chant, lets show the TV world waht our support is like....all remember Doncaster away!!!! The fact the game is on sky should deter anyone, its local, its affordable and the boys need us.

Bugger. I'll be in St Petersburg. :angry:

Yeah we got slaughtered !

Doncaster away was a result of a reaction against getting hammered, lets hope we dont have call to react in the same way for the same reason. :smile:

 

[Shrimper]

Hopefully tickets don't sell out before I get a chance to get my grubby mitts on them.

Possibly same here. Firstly I remember many years ago (it may have been the game when Alan Little was in charge) turning up at Orient about an hour before kick off to find only two turnstiles open. I warned them they may want to open a whole load more as I reckoned we would fill the entire section, and people won't be able to get in. (This was a pay on the day type match.) They laughed at me. I was proved right; loads of people, including my dad, didn't get to his seat until about half way through the first half. I vowed never to go back again. Up until now I have kept to it.

Secondly, my wife is going into hospital for a pretty major operation and will only be 2 weeks post op. I might have to stay at home to look after the kids as she probably won't be able to get out of bed, let alone deal with them.

I was there, from memory they ended opening the terracing behind one of the goals. To be fair, most of our games since have been all ticket and i havnt missed one since. Never had any other problems getting in or with congestion at turnstiles etc. Sorry to hear about your wife, i hope she is better soon.

I'll be at the away game but they appear to have moved the 2nd leg from w/c 25th to w/c 18th so it means I will miss it because I'll be in Barbados during that week. I wonder if anyone wants to swap a sun drenched Barbados beach for a cold but happy packed Roots Hall?

 

[tallboyblue]

Anyone know if we get a share of the fee?
