Aha thanks .... OK that's better but same approach I presume.

[olaftab]

Yes for those who also go to the two home league games!

Basically ST holders then. Does anyone know how many STs have sold this year ? Normally it's about 22k

[London Villan]

14k-17k depending on who you ask.

Not if you ask me.

The League games are more important even though the season is 3 games old so play reserves approach.

Not if you ask me.

However if you ask me I would say 35K based on no facts whatsoever.

To be fair he didn't play the reserves last year, we were just cack when Sheffield United knocked us out.

They also had a bit of luck, scoring the only time they had possession in our half with a tame deflected effort.

He didn't do that last season.

I live half a mile from Brisbane rd, an away draw would have suited me just fine. Doh!

In other news today a Leyton Orient supporting resident of Gravelly Hill said `Would you Adam and Eve it ! I can almost see the ground from me Tommy Trinder. I wont even have to use the Jam Jar to get to this. I reckon we will get a couple of sausage rolls against them too ! `

JD will be happy.

Shame it isn't away as I'd liked to have gone there being a croydon boy soon.

[Damo70]

I'm glad to get the chance to watch a team I haven't seen us play before. The first person I thought of when I heard the draw was Harvey Moon from Shine On Harvey Moon. I remember he used to support them when they were called Clapton Orient.

Whenever I hear of Leyton Orient I think of a 4-0 away defeat around 1972-3 when Ian Ross broke his leg. After that game I think Vic Crowe mandated the wearing of shinpads for Villa players. There was even a photo of Ross on the treatment table in the next home match programme (IIRC).
