For supporters arriving at Midland Road station on the High Road on the other side of the stadium, The Three Blackbirds offers the most immediate opportunity for sustenance prior to the 15 minute walk to the ground, and is probably the best bet for food

This pub has been gone for about 15 years, so I wouldn't pay this one a visit.

2-0 defeat IMO-Adam Boyd to get both.

Orient could be a dark horse this year

Strangely enough it was open a few months back when I working down there, and as much as is possible I check that pubs have not closed down prior to compiling the guide after what happened at Lincoln last season.

We've had a few posters who register and make inaccurate comments about the pub-guide. In our experience there's usually an easilly spotted ulteria motive at work, and doubtless this will be no different.

Or he could be genuinly mistaken? Maybe its re opened lately?

Weston and Sonko are available for selection , Roper and Ishmel are both expected to start , Butler misses out DD is hoping the striker will resume full training on Monday and be ready for the visit of Swansea.
Stil no news on Picken .

Who?

Edit: O/S reckons Sonko is still injured and won't figure.

0-0 draw

[priestley_saddler]

Long time lurker finally registers to post :D

1-1, them to score first half, us to equalise in the second.

853 saddlers there

[Stu]

Who's the lady in the avatar? Quite tasty.

lol, it's Elisha Cuthbert from 24.

Thanks. Saved me asking :D

[BathSaddler]

I'll stick with my original 1-1 prediction, made prior to the Swansea game. Our record in Cup competitions under DD is crap anyway.

650 Saddlers in a 4,915 crowd.

[Stu]

Never watched 24, always meant to watch it but just can't quite be bothered.

[Magic Man Fan]

Never watched 24, always meant to watch it but just can't quite be arsed.

Same here and too much catching up to be done now, like all the other US drag on shows to maximise advertising revenue. I refuse now as the word "season" has caught on in this country. It's f****** series' you yank wannabes. :D

US shows are justifiably called 'seasons' because they do run in a season, much like football, from September to May. I think its only fair that we refer to the first 'series' of 24, for example, as the first season - if that's what the people who made it want to call it. What I can't abide is calling British programmes seasons (which is what I think you're getting at) because the terminology just doesn't make sense.

24 is well worth catching up with. If you have a couple of days free and get hold of the first series/season on DVD, then you will have finished it by the end of the second day. Its brilliantly addictive. Just stop before you get to season six, because that was utter pap.

Oh, this is supposed to be about Leyton Orient isn't it? Er.....Matt Lockwood. That'll keep it on topic.

Sorry GeordieSaddler. I wasn't trying to give inaccurate information, it's just that this pub closes down and re-opens all the time. Your right though, apparently it is now open and here is a link on the pub http://fancyapint.com/pubs/pub2325.html

Maybe I'll borrow it off my brother one day.

Anyway, Matt Lockwood is off-topic, he signed for Forest pre-season... Dean Smith, now he would put it back on the O's track...

Interesting to see DD say on Saddlers World that we were pursuing Wayne Gray and Adam Boyd but they were out of our price range.

Just what we all wanted to hear. :?

They paid a £50k fee for Wayne Gray didn't they...

Be surprised, and worried, if Boyd was that much out of our price range, bearing in mind he was a free, so any potential transfer fee money could have been put towards that.

Makes a mockery of suggestions that we're after Byfield though, as surely he'd command just as much as either of those would. In fact, I'd expect him to command more in wages than either of those.

yeah great. :x

Anyway, a draw at best tomorrow, one each me thinks. Moonster for us.
572 Saddlers there.

Call me impatient but I really am starting to think if we were ever going to have signed him, it would be a done deal by now. There's no way Millwall are ever going to let him play for them again and by the sounds of things with him refusing to even wear their training kit, he wouldn't play even if selected.

Unless of course, we have left an offer on the table and they are waiting until the end of the month to see whether or not someone else can better it.

Yeovil only let Wayne Gray go because he wanted to move back to London, there's no way he would have come to us.

Maybe 'out of our price range' for Adam Boyd means 'more than we are prepared to pay for a player that has just spent two years doing an Allan Picken'. But he could have just said that. :?

I agree.

[PerStener]

2-1 victory if we score the first goal otherwise a 1-1 draw.
