Leyton Orientear Editorial: September

With the transfer business all done and dusted for now, The Editor finally drags his corpulent form out of his lair and deigns to share his half-formed opinions with the rest of us.

“Have you tried turning it off and then on again?”

Thanks for sticking with us. Transitioning from print-first to digital-first has involved a fair bit of work, none of which we would have bothered to do had you not shown you were up for the change too. After 40 years, your continued support convinced us this is the best way to stay relevant in (yet another) new ownership era for the football club.

We’re pleased with how the first weeks of our new enterprise have gone, and appreciate you hanging in there while we found our feet. Now the teething issues are mostly behind us, we can turn to developing the service in new and exciting ways. We’re going to start live-blogging matches very soon, and we expect full EFL accreditation to arrive later this month - enabling us to properly cover away matches too. There’ll be a podcast coming in October – with most of the best bits exclusive to members, of course - more interactivity added to the platform, the occasional newsletter, some video, and more interviews. And of course we’ll do some kind of portentous Editorial every month during the season – starting with this one here.

Aynsley Taylor Editor of the Ear since 2021, and proud to take it into its fifth decade. Was singularly unqualified for the job, but no-one else wanted to do it. Sees Orient with the zeal of the adult convert rather than someone who was dragged to church every weekend from childhood.
