Found out at the weekend that there are major engineering works on my rail line into London from the Kent coast which involves train, get off and sit on a bus for god knows how long, get back on another train just to get into London let alone get across to Leyton Orient's ground. As I am on a walking stick at the moment recovering from two bone ops I am afraid that I don't feel like facing a 6 hour round trip. If anybody is coming up from further down the coast or from Faversham, Sittingbourne, Rainham, Gillingham etc it is get off at Rainham and catch the bus.

Dunno why autocorrect changed it to Hyde?

On the point of individual events, this was discussed between various "parties" about 2006 or 2007.

It was suggested that the moment the fixture list was released, 13 "events" would be planned around the dates of these games....paddy's weekend, St Georges day, Mothers day, Fathers day, Anzac day etc.....a simple scan of google would give you ideas. Then, after checking the "other sports" calendars, the club would announce to both its own fans, as well as to the visiting ones the theme for each particular game.......

It's not hard work...it takes a bit of planning and brainstorming (mindshowering apparently)......but it would offer some hope of getting a better crowd at games featuring Catalans, Saldord or Wakey.....

example....June 9th 1934 Donald Duck makes his first appearance on Film..

Call Euro Disney, say we'd like to do a themed day and would they be intrested in putting up a couple of prizes for a family of 4....best kids costume, best adults costume etc......you get the idea.

Bet you Widnes fans would have ben up for it if they''d been informed about it back in January......

You'd have to be pushing 100 to remember those teams.

But mea culpa for not stressing rugby league being played in London on a continuous basis for 30+ years.

Although it's actually quite amazing when you think of the resulting lack of legacy.

We've not got there yet Gutters
