It's worth pointing out that the money is actually being raised by Spurs fans for Leyton Orient itself, not their charity. The charity element is that we can buy something and set the delivery address as their own stadium, and if you do that, it will be donated to Haven House or given to children currently in Whipps Cross hospital.they've just tweeted that spurs fans have helped raise 20k for their charity.

It just started as an attempt to get Orient their lost revenue back, but people asked for this charity option if they wanted to help but didn't have any interest in owning an Orient kit/scarf whatever.
The Chairman to whom you refer is on 7million a year,Those that are saying we should compensate Orient for TV fees lost should themselves get lost we are not a charity and all these high ideals are fine for some but not for me if the tables were reversed or we were in dire straits financially nobody is going to offer to bail us out and I mean nobody . Its a hard world we live in bit thats the way of things I support Tottenham Hotspur football club not THFC charity .
I struggle to find the finances to pay for my season ticket and I dont want to see the chairman giving it away with some flawed gesture.
The Chairman to whom you refer is on 7million a year,
the Manager is on 13 million a year.
Players from 1/2 a million to 5 million roughly
I think a little bit of spare cash could be found.
If gifted correctly would probably be tax deductible anyway.
Have a go at them first before struggling lower league clubs.

Well maybe we should act like we would like to be treated. We’re living in a world where a multitude of small clubs and non league clubs are on the brink of going bust whilst we earn millions from tv revenue. Coughing up this money should be the least we and Prem clubs do, we are approaching a point where the PL clubs are going to need to decide whether to basically bail out so many clubs. It would be a tragedy if once fans are allowed back in, which may not be till March, that basically all that is left is league 1 and above.
I would agree with this, bit of the comments of the chairman saying if they got offered the test now (or again in this situation) he would refuse has changed my mind.
We know they don't get tested in normal league games, but to say what he has apparently said (not seen/heard it myself) is shocking and feels a slap in the face after paying for the testing and then would have happy now got our players potentially catching the virus.
Mansfield Town returned no positive tests. Good news.
This needs regulating - the government should step in and insist all clubs test twice a week.I would agree with this, bit of the comments of the chairman saying if they got offered the test now (or again in this situation) he would refuse has changed my mind.
