Sorry, MrGloverLover...

Yeovil have put 3 stars above the badge on their new kit with each star representing 5 seasons in the FL.

Our new home shirt has just been revealed. I think I like it, it'll grow on me.

Usual corporate-speak guff has come with it though. "Use the past to deliver the future" :dk:

Also as it's our 15th consecutive season in the EFL (woohoo) it's got 3 stars above the badge "to mark the milestone year - each of them representing five seasons". I'm sure we won't get anyone taking the proverbial for that... :ffs:

And Tranmere also have 3 stars on their shirts one for each injury time goal they scored against you.

Tranmere have a whole plethora of stars each one denoting a player who has been crippled by injury.

Breakfast on fixture release day.

They're basically charging £10 for a bacon bap and a cuppa.

I think this one even gives the Mansfield dog a run for his money.

Every like this photo receives will raise awareness for the plight of discarded Tesco Trolley Parks. With your help they can find new homes at Non-League football grounds. Shown here is one lucky example at Teversal. Complete with what appears to be a player urinating in the corner.

Played at Teversal many times, they had a Morrisons at one point too!

Bury have two stars above their crest to commemorate our two FA Cup wins, where does this stand in the tinpot scale?

First of all it's not tinpot in itself as winning the FA Cup is a tremendous achievement.
Secondly, compared to what we've seen from the likes of Billericay, Borehamwood, Farnborough and Mansfield, it's totally insignificant.

There's a fine line between being tinpot and making the club open and accessible. This is tinpot and nowhere near that line.

But in London, we don't knock £10 for a bacon bap and a coffee. Normally need vouchers for that kind of bargain.

A perspective buyer for LOFC Alan Bowers (previously nicked for doing stuff with dodgy cars) has pulled out. He messaged a supporter (who makes Eastleigh Fan seem bright and reasonable) the following:

Message from Alan Bowers

Dear Friends and TRUE LOFC supporters
If you receive this then you are one of our Magnificent 7 that were hand picked by our team to carry the message to the thousands of genuine fans that care and love Leyton Orient FC,
You will know now that our offer has fallen on somewhat challenged ears
And for the love of the club and the great majority of fans it's time to step out of the ring and hopefully 'someone' will rescue the club and stop just talking about it!
You have some challenging times ahead but be positive and LOFC will get through
Be united in support and get behind whoever takes on the challenge especially the manager Omer who has and is working tirelessly still under a very difficult situation
We only wanted what was best for you and the club however some individuals felt we were elongating the process? Not true the process was broken
LOFT just a suggestion
Do not give ultimatums to the new owners as you may get the wrong answer and DO SOMETHING with the funds that hard working loyal fans have donated
1. Return their money if you not going to be supportive of anything you will never own the club
2. Donate it to a worthy charity
3. Support the club you 'love' buy a couple of players? Pay the unpaid? Support the manager?
Stop the moaning ,whining and negative behaviour the club needs all the help it can get in these times.
OTF keep the doing and not talking attitude credit to LOFC
god bless you all x
The Boys of Beaumont

(LOFT = Leyton Orient Fans Trust. OTF = Orient Transit Firm)

According to the Whitehawk "Ultras", you have to have a tattoo to stand with them at matches. I'm sure Aberstone will post the picture of the conversation as I'm useless with things like that.

They're well fuming that Danny Mills has joined us after leaving them. I think one of them had a tattoo of him which he's going to get removed.

At least you've won something important. I don't think our Southern League or Somerset Premier Cup wins count. Maybe the AC Delco Cup or Bob Lord Trophy.
