New Year's Day kick off - WTF???

[Notters]

I'm sure this is fixtures but as the search function doesn't work on my iPhone I thought I'd have my own personal little rant here. Why the hell have they made the Orient fixture a 1 o'clock kick off. Are they trying to put people off going? I thought I might at last be able to go to every home fixture this season, with no weddings and whathaveyou scheduled.

Do they really think people are going to be having another massive piss up at the withdean on New Year's Day? Whenever we play on New Year's Day EVERYONE is hungover and the atmosphere is like a morgue. It should be an evening kick off, not one o'clock.

Anyone else going to give this one a miss?

I don't drink but it does come across as stupid. Probably on 'police' advice.

I will be there

 

[Notters]

I have to admit that I thought of you Al, as I typed EVERYONE. It's not so much the quantity of booze that I'll be consuming as the lateness of my night out.

 

[Foolg]

I'll be there, but i wont be there if you get where im coming from

They did the same for the Boxing day kick off which I believe was also Leyton Orient. Maybe it's their fault

Bit different to New Years though isn't it...most people have a family day and maybe a few glasses of wine in the evening, not a complete and utter piss up like New Years.

Really?

I have the same attitude on Christmas Day as I do on New Year's Eve - get pissed.

Christmas would be boring otherwise.

I'd say you are in the extreme minority, there.

This. I've certainly never been up till 6am on Christmas day.

You don't have to stay up till 6am to get pissed, though..

I thought it was normal practise to get bladdered on Chritmas Day, although it's a bit different to NYE when even the tamest of piss ups will go on till 2 am.

 

[pasty]

New Years Eve is shit boring and overrated anyway. I will be there bang on time in the rudest of health on January 1st

No, absolutely, but a 1 o'clock kick off on boxing day isn't a problem.

What time do the pubs open on NYD - ideally 11am

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

What time do the pubs open on NYD

Is the correct question

As usual the club gives no thought whatsoever to the travelling fans and this is not the first time. Do they not realise that some season ticket holders like myself live 160 miles from Withdean and all the Orient fans (I know they will only have to come 60 miles) ought to be treated with some respect.

If they really need to change this fixture, then why not make it an evening kick-off.

Why has the Charlton game been moved from a bank holiday afternoon start to a working day for many and an evening kick-off. The players will be really tired travelling home from Dagenham on the Sunday!

I'm quite sure the NSC search function wouldn't work on NASA's computers.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Maybe it has something to do with public transport, i guess they are running a limited service that day and may be finishing early as it is a public holiday? - maybe thats why its not an evening game and could explain why its at 1 o'clock rather than 3 o'clock

 

[mcshane in the 79th]

Weren't the last few NYD games 1pm kick offs?


Club can't really win here. Too late and people would moan at the lack of public transport, too early and people are hungover. Shouldn't have games NYD imo.

 

[portslade-by-sea]

Orient are nutters thats why
