Orient match thread
 

According to thier fans trust we've refused them permission to have collection buckets around the ground

Re: Orient match thread
 

If thats correct, its a poor do, did we not have em at other grounds when we were in the sh1t?

Re: Orient match thread
 

Apparently spoke to the CEO who refused them

Re: Orient match thread
 

Disgraceful IMHO

Re: Orient match thread
 

Tried to explain we are in similar position & need to financially support @ASFCofficial -we are making losses & need to get that right first

The CEO's response, were in a similar position apparently, so do we have a winding up order that were not getting told about

Re: Orient match thread
 

A difficult one for me. Yes we have been and probably still are in financial dire straits but we have perpetually been under funded through low gates but I have always believed that ultimately we have been run by people that generally cared for the club albeit blinkered at times and incompetently a hell of a lot of the time. Orient I believe are a different entity run by a crook who doesn't give a flying toss about the club but I do feel for their fans because we all know fans are the life blood of any football club.Still see no problem in a bucket collection though causes no harm and shows unity as the footy family, let's face it we've been there!

Poor do. How not to make friends and influence people.
With a response like that, I wouldn't be surprised if Stanley's new club house bar takes less money from away fans than it might otherwise have done.
But, presumably, only the police or Council could stop Orient fans collecting beyond the confines of the football ground?

Re: Orient match thread
 

Our club would rather have money spent in the ground than helping out other teams who are in a position we ourselves have been in, looks like they'll be taking buckets into the crown pre match

Re: Orient match thread
 

Good on 'em I'd throw a couple of quid in if I was there but sadly stuck in Notts and can't make it. The reality of the plight of football clubs has to be taken very seriously and our taking of it is rather saddening bearing in mind our history. Personally rather have a club than a big screen!

Re: Orient match thread
 

I definitely remember a bucket collection at Gigg Lane and loads of other clubs' fans rallied round too apart from that.

If it's true that the Club refused then not only is it a disgrace but I hope we are never in a similar position again.

Perhaps the club can confirm the reasoning behind this if it is true?

Re: Orient match thread
 

Because of Dave burgess refusing the buckets the Orient fans now plan on not spending a penny once inside the ground which will lose us even more money

Re: Orient match thread
 

This fellow should "NEVER" have been allowed anywhere near Stanley, IMHO.:(

Re: Orient match thread
 

Rather look after the club and prawn sandwich brigade than the fans

Re: Orient match thread
 

Too right, we was alllowed to do buckets in other grounds! Regardless of the management around orient, it's the fans that suffer! What harm is it with them with buckets, Stanley fans would still spend in the ground! Poor show once again from off field management!!!

Re: Orient match thread
 

Just been reading the Orient fans forum, if what they're saying is true I can't believe we've refused them permission to have a bucket collection - I know DB wasn't around when we were in a similar position but you think he'd have done his homework on how many clubs helped us out in a similar way & be only too glad to help out. What goes around comes around & all that . . . . .
At the end of the day it's up to each individual person if they want to contribute & we shouldn't be subjected to a blanket ban imposed by DB or anyone else
