I left when I was called an Orient fan by WAFC and WST Board member Gavin Jones. It was designed to mock me and I don't need it.

Ironic on a night when most of the board members present claimed they need to improve communications and poor Steve Lloyd talked about getting the volunteer base back up as it has dropped off so much.

I've measured the whole site roughly and it comes out as 8.5 acres. Measuring the fields plus car park I make it 6.5 acres roughly.

Just done a rough measurement of 9 acre and that comes in at 8.75, although the council measure it at 9.2 acres.

dont want to derail thread - but below is the measure I have very very very roughly done on google maps just now for full site - 43,583.48 m² to acres = 10.7

believe we will be looking at the right hand side in red top bits will be carpark / clubhousey chaning rooms and two pitches below

It's no wonder we're bumbling along where we are when this is all some people care about. Two players that left 3 years ago ffs, one who has now developed into one of the best centre-backs in League One who we'd have had no chance of keeping hold of.

Recent or historic?

Can anyone give clarity on what that was all about?

Im not being funny but an isolated and disinterested hooper is all ive seen upfront in recent games. If Rutherford running around in circles 20 yards behind hooper is the second striker then i suppose we are playing two strkers.

I've just got back. If that's how many 'members' can be bothered to turn up when the club is in this state, then nothing will change.

It got quite heated when a bloke asked about the training ground an I got the impression tonight Spencer has seen his arse with the fact he has to answer all of the questions, and to be fair he generally does.

Lots of irrelevant questions about 'engagement with supporters' and membership, which annoyed me, get the football right and everything falls into place for gods sake.

I initially thanked them for the time they put into the club. Then I told them it isn't only about this disastrous season, the last seven, apart from a brief spell under Gary Mills, have been terrible, and for the first time in my life I was embarrassed to support the club, I asked if they had a plan of how to change this?

I then asked them what justification they had for hiring Brian Hughes and giving him a three year contract? Spencer tried to make out that hiring first time managers has been the most successful approach etc

The main points were towards the end with questions about investment etc. Not sure what to make of the responses, but it's clear they wont seek it until they have a 'mandate'.
