Orient NO surprise. Must admit the venue for the Hull game will be interesting to find out.

Source? I'm disappointed the on the road games are on Sunday's but still looking forward to them even though they are 2 weekends in a row I these are the teams picked

The Broncos site mentioned it in the article about the fixtures, they've now put up [urlhttp://www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/220.php[/url about it.

Agree that it'll be really interesting to find out the second venue.

I'm surprised at the Salford match right in the Olympics.

I'll miss the Leyton Orient game as I'll be on a cricket tour. A shame in a way because their supporters club bar is supposed to be the bees knees.

OOI, why do you play home games on a Saturday at 3pm? Surely it'd be wiser playing on a Friday or a Sunday as to not compete with football.

A lot of travelling fans from the North would not make it on a Friday, also travelling across London on a Friday night is ideal. Saturday seems a day most supporter like.

Old Faithful - the club have had two supporters polls on what matchday people wanted and both times Sat 3pm was the favourite.

I am disappointed with the fixture lists. Seems we have gone back to messing the days around and the times too.

Also, we play Catalans on the 5/4 and we wont have another game at The Stoop until 9/6.

Could have done with the French trip being out of season, as it's so blimmin expensive to go there peak season.

All in all,

You haven't lived or worked in London have you-If so its unlikely you would have posed that question.

I will give you a couple of clues- Fri M25 and engineering works on trainlines at weekends

London on a Friday afternoon from about 1pm onwards is a place to avoid on trains/Tubes/roads etc. Can you Imagine 30 odd Northerners trying to make the trip from Euston/Kings cross by tube and then Train from Waterloo or Vauxhall to Twickenham. They would hardly get on and between 4pm to 7-30ish Waterloo is chaos most nights.

Two months on the road then!

Bugger! I've got Olympics tickets for that day! Maybe Sky can shift us to Friday night

Brisbane Road may make to a good atmosphere 9,271 all seating, 5 minutes to tube, nice and modern ground now. tims92.webs.com/Leyton%20Orient/ ... ic%201.jpg Orient quickly added it to their website this morning www.leytonorient.com/page/NewsDe ... 19,00.html

As I recall Bradford do not bring that many to the Stoop so I think even fewer will be attracted to Brisbane Road, lets hope they have some major, major marketing plans for these on the road games to pull the punters in. We have never been booted out of the Stoop before for pitch maintenance (if in fact there is any truth in the reason given), so I hope this is not going to become an annual feature of being at the Stoop, we all know the damage it does when trying to build the fan base of having a lengthy period of no home games during the summer months.

We are not on the road due to pitch maint-Its a marketing ploy to test the market-and thats from the CEO and chairmans mouth.

Sure I read somewhere that both on the road games will be on Sky too. The Stoop must be due a bit of maintainance anyway. 3 years time I think the stoop will not be our home.

One of the reasons for the on the road games is pitch maintainance. look here. www.londonbroncosrl.com/news/219.php

I'm only aware of one poll, and I wasn't aware of that until it had finished. There was another poll sent out to email newsletter subscribers around 2004, but even though the club were clearly angling for 6pm on Saturday the majority voted for 3pm on Sunday. (The club then imposed this regardless several weeks later.)

I thought one of the Licence criteria was a stadium with a capacity above a certain number - sure it is above 10k so why are we going to a ground with less? Cue a boooooooo from WQ

If as is very likely Orient do not get the olymic stadium share with West Ham etc. Then Mr Hearns is looking to bolster Brisbane road, Wouldn't take much doing to get 14k in that stadium.

Under the sticks what is your rational for the claim Bradford will "[ieven fewer[/i" to Brisbane Road? also why would it need to be "[imajor, major marketing plans[/i" for the on the road game there? The Stoop holds more and is not closed in, also as it seems from the link to the Leyton Orient official website they have made a big thing of it today and nearer the time they will do the same again I am certain, the marketing will need to be in East London and hopefully capture in from the great development work we are doing there now.

With regards the criteria for a stadium, look at Hull KR's ground and anyway Barry Hearn is having pipe dreams thinking he will take over the 60,000 Olympic stadium post 2012 and it would not take a lot to extend the stadium to 15,000 which would be an ideal size. We need to see the venue of the second game on the road before we get ahead of ourselves.

I would be suprised if all of our own regular supporters make it to Brisbane Road so it is not a quantum leap to suggest that a side which does not bring that many supporters down to London might also have a few fans that can`t be d.......it`s just my opinion.

Of course the `on the road games` will require significant marketing, do you honestly think that the locals and LO football fans will just turn up as if by magic. An announcement on the LO web site today does not equate to a marketing coup or in your words `making a big thing of it`. My original post was not snipping at the club but just voicing an opinion and a concern......get over it

Why you took it that way I am totally unsure, it was not how it was intended, my opinion and like you that is all it is, if we are going to have to go on the road Brisbane Road seems a good choice, nice compact stadium and an area were we are working with development, lets just wait and see I Hope it is a big success but it was not having a knock at you in any way, I was unsure how you got to your opinion! which I respect.

I was hoping home games would be Saturday 6pm, but Saturday 3pm isn't too bad, just means I have to rush across London after playing a match in the morning.
