They'll always be an Orient V The not so Mighty Mariners

[BlackHaddock]

Looking forward to this: 6 of us in my little party going to that there London. No idea what the result will be, but 0-0 is not going to happen. Gunning out for us, so a change of personal if not formation. Hopefully recover from the awful 45 minutes we endured last Saturday after a stella first half.

Rumours that there may be no catering at the ground on Saturday or a proper programme as the companys which sort these things out.....haven't been paid by the club.

The plot thickens.

 

[The Terminator]

I'm not getting carried away by our result at the weekend, our youth team destroyed the worst team in the division, but we have lost our last 6 games at home, have lost 14 times at home this season and 31 times at home in the last 3 years.

You are due a home win then, we often help out like that. Whoops replied to wrong post.

 

[NolansOrient]

The performance at Newport was exceptional, but our home form is past a joke.

We just can't do it at home, despite not playing awfully, we rarely, if ever, go in front, and if we do we never hold on. Not even a few draws, just defeat after defeat.

On a plus side the mood among supporters, at games at least, is one of collaboration and positivity in the face of oblivion.

Grimsby very unlucky against Wycombe - that was such a typical Wycombe goal by the way, smashing it in with a Grimsby players sparked out - unfortunate for the Mariners.

Hope you all enjoy your trip to the capital, I made the journey to Cleethorpes earlier in the season and had a whale of a time - the Smiths fish and chips was exceptional.

1 - 3.

Whilst a result would be nice, right now we have much, much bigger fish to fry.

Hopefully Danny Collins can bag another, need him to be in goalscoring form again...

Yes, hopefully at the right end on Saturday (and at Pompey the following Tuesday).

 

[BlackHaddock]

According to the 'Fishy' we have sold around 600 tickets and our friends from Aalst in Belgium are coming over for the game (so 40-50 extra drunken youths), expecting around 900-1000 overall. Hope we see a decent game.

Glad to hear it.

You're more than welcome in the supporter's club bar before the game (£1 entry) - best beers in Leyton.

My bunch were meeting in 'Ye Olde Cittie of Yorke' before travelling into Leyton, but the plans have changed: may well frequent your Club Bar if we get there early enough. Joining the 'Hipsters' in Mason & Company after the game (and then Crate brewery followed by Howling Hops Tank Whatever).

All good choices, I'll be drinking in Crate after the game with a few friends, if you see a tall blonde chap come and buy me a drink! I've donated the rest to Orient...

Oh also, not sure if you were aware but it's far easier to walk to 'ackney Wick (Crate) than a bus, only takes about 15 mins from the ground.

I can't see us doing what we did again last week, I mean Newport were awful. Their backline was a shambles.

The result will be completely irrelevant as we're gonna have 12 points taken off us anyway it seems.

We will be producing a 16 page only programme tomorrow as the club haven't paid the printers - They weren't going to do one at all, but club officials said we'd get fined, if we didn't as its an FA Regulation.

We will keep the same starting XI - Bear in mind the ages of the players, which I have also listed:

Grainger - 20
Judd - 18
Hunt - 33
Parkes - 24
Kennedy - 27

Azalte - 18
Moncur - 19
Collins - 31
Semedo - 20

Koroma - 18
Dalby - 17

Gavin Massey is suspended and Paul McCallum may play in place of Sam Dalby up front, Liam Kelly sits out the 5th gaame of his ban.

Alot of our clubs staff haven't been paid, Webb said last week the players had been paid.

I cannot see Grimsby collapsing and being as open as Newport were.

We play good football and have alot of pace on the counter attack, but we're a little bit naive and don't often finish our chances or make the correct choices in certain game changing moments - apart from last week.

We were looking at the 26 Bus, but my youngest brother says it's quicker to walk, and the walk is fairly interesting (he lives somewhere in North London apparently): so if it's dry we'll be walking.

GTFC and Aalst fans today:

 

[NolansOrient]

I have to say, the Grimsby support is fantastic, fair play

 

[NolansOrient]

Grimsby score from the games first attack. Lovely header.

 

[NolansOrient]

I thought Grimsby in the first half were solid, but after the second whistle they've degenerated into a dirty, time wasting, hoofball 11. Also the fans, whilst great, has descended into repeating the same, monotone, unintelligible hum, mainly driven by their Belgian contingent, a pity.

Still I wish we had their support, if it took them what, 5, 6 years to climb out of the non leagues, I shudder to think what's in store for us.

Another drab game at Brisbane road that should have, like several of our defeats here, ended as a draw.

Two very poor teams.

 

[NolansOrient]

0-2 an extraordinarily lucky goal. Keeper error. Were down.

Grimsby fans are a particularly unsavoury bunch, on the plus side, I don't have to live in fkin cleethorpes

All the Lincolnshire clubs have absolutely insufferable c*** for fans. Lincoln the worst, with Grimsby and Boston almost as bad. Scunny the least scummy, but only by default.

 

[Gladders]

Poor southerners complaining as usual.

Anyhow easy win, now for the test on Tuesday

 

[GTFCfish]

Wow I've seen defeats taken badly before but come on lads get a fucking grip, resorting to petty fucking insults. Pathetic.

What are you talking about, our Belgian contingent are just trying tp bring meaning to their lives - after all from an early age their literature teaches them to drink and follow the Haddock...

You mean those same unsavoury scummy c*** fans who were all putting in your collection buckets trying to help your club stay afloat?

[Vanni]

What happened then?

Stay classy there buddy

Yeah that makes a lot of sense, well done.

 

[GTFCfish]

What happened then?

I think they have taken exception to the fact that our away support like to sing songs, dance around and generally have a laugh and a good time. They are supposed to just sit quietly in their seats for 90 mins I guess, which is just like it will be in the Conference for them next year when Woking and Forest Green's 10 fans turn up and sit in silence.

You would have thought the mariners would have had some sympathy to a side facing not just the drop, but liquidation at the hands of an oligarch, bit I guess they're more prone to rubbing salt into wounds on an internet forum, as I said, stay classy buddy
