They could've at least got someoone to proof read that statement. Only makes a bit of sense if you read it out loud in an italian accent
Ripe for conversion to alternative uses, Orient are at the moment.As far as potential goes, the site is seen as worth more than the football product. Cue managed descent, lowered wage bills, declining support......and predation of the remains.It is a well worn track. Uncle Ken was in a dishonourable tradition that stretches back to Third Lanark in the sixties.Third Lanark, and how Glasgow's lost football club perished through greed and corruption - Glasgow LiveI hope the fans are getting organised, and not sitting on their arses waiting for a white knight to come along.
To make matters worse the 'London Stadium', now hosting West Ham, was actually closer to the Orient than it was to Upton Park. With extra capacity and cheap season tickets it will undoubtedly erode the fan base at LE.

I said that they were closer, therefore because of the need to fill the stadium West Ham reduced prices and would erode the fan base at LE.

As there is no way they would have even been able to double their fan base if they was giving match tickets away.Or was it more the fact that they did not want west ham or Tottenham plotting up on their doorstep.
