Re: Orient match thread
 

As to Collectors, I spotted a rather dejected looking pair situated at the Main Stand Turnstiles, perhaps their downcast demeanour was due to the fact that they were being completely ignored by most of the folks entering the ground at that time !.

I did my bit which seemed to cheer them a little ...the young lady whilst assuring me that she was a fan of Leyton Orient had a most charming East Lancashire accent and planted a tiny and gentle kiss on my cheek, which I foolishly supposed at the moment to be part of the deal !....

But I do hope that the money collected does in some way go to alleviating the fiscal nightmare which the famous old club is experiencing !, and which was perhaps more than a little noticeable on the field as I caught a glimpse of the pained faces of their Manager and his players as they left the pitch. Demotivation personified ?.

From the Guardian: 12:49pm

Thanks for following our live updates from Orient's winding-up petition at the High Court.

The outcome is as follows: The club have until June 12th to pay outstanding debtors which is estimated to be around £60,000.

Andrew Shaw who respresented the club said Mr Becchetti will hopefully raise a cash injection of £1million pounds into the club in eight to 10 weeks.

However Adam Michaelson believes there are more creditors to come and HMRC could issue another petition tomorrow.
