    Best thing to do would be to handcuff yourself to a Goal post and throw away the key... They'll have a job moving you then

    Just make sure you havent drunk much beforehand.

    Kidnap Flaggy. That'll put all the club's communication plans out of the window for the whole Summer.

    How can the EFL statement say they needed to protect the integrity of the competition and have no integrity themselves by admitting lying?

    Don't think the Met come out with much credit either by being complicit in lying to the public.

    So, the officials of the EFL & Orient admit to lying to the supports of both clubs. Its amazing that finishing a game is more important to them than the supporters and their problems.

    Shame on them!

    No way should we do this , it would offend the lame ducks in our fan base who are still too busy gobbling off this wank ownership and deserve this shit

    I thought their leader was too busy scouting players for KR and laughably trying to ingratiate himself with the liar, but he does seem to have been distracted by your post.

    So sad that the fans couldn't see the last few minutes. EFL and FA have to take some responsibility. After all they allowed unfit people to run football clubs and as a result fans invade the pitch.

    That's two fingers up to the Orient fans from the EFL.

    Before they start fining clubs and closing stadia it would be nice if the EFL thought about why hitherto well behaved fans like the O's and er, us, have turned militant to say the least. But, I won't hold my breath....

    The difference is, Blackpool's game wasn't fulfiled so I can't see a punishment be as servere as Blackpool's.

    Different league, different rules from August for Orient.

    Blackpool got hit with a fine, no points deduction and that game WAS abandoned

    Yep, on Orient's official Twitter the game has re-started. Is that the longest gap in play ever?

    Hopefully we can beat that tomorrow
    Would be nice.

    Tomorrow, sole objective, disruption.

    A decision was taken with the police to announce that the game had been abandoned, as it was felt this would help clear the pitch, which proved correct.

    Proof they never had any intention of actually abandoning the match...

    Shouldnt have actually admitted this as it'll be harder to move fans the next time a set decide to invade the pitch

    The fans should get a refund on their tickets.

    Hate that attitude. No amount of clapping and singing will turn Orient's terrible owner into a good one. The future of the club is far more important than a single game, especially when you've already been relegated.

    just make sure the pitch is damaged with some big holes. Too dangerous for players to continue

    I wonder if this is worth some consideration. The club haven't fulfilled their obligations of providing a football match. This could stand up, with compensation for other costs like travel etc. Be interested to hear a lawyers view

    there would be no refund due if the game had actually been abandoned as it was past half time. I'd love to know what the legal situation is though when a club just pretend to have abandoned in order to get fans out, there must be some sort of refund/compo

    Sounds like the EFL must have put plans into action to counter this sort of thing i.e. Blackpool's pitch invasion was the one that shocked them leaving them without a clue what to do.

    Now the plan must be: Keep the players in the dressing room, pretend to call the game off and then once everyone has gone... Playing the remaining minutes of the match.

    The only thing that could stop that is by remaining on the pitch after the game has been "abandoned" and stay into the evening ensuring that the match cant be played that same day really messing things up

    Or break the crossbar
    Is that a challenge?

    I would imagine, anybody who wants a refund should be able to get one given that they were lied to. This is becoming too widespread and the EFL have to do something about idiot owners.
