Sad. Propa club and supporters.
Didn't they do something for us when we were in a similar position? I think they may have showed a banner of support in one game, but I can't recall exactly. |  |

I think that a lot of people would bung them a few quid if called upon. Could be they might go the same way as us if they have a supportersTrust? |  | | |

They have a supporters' trust - Rich Lillicrap helped them set it up. |  | | |

There was always a bond between the two clubs back in the day. Supporters of both sides used to meet up before games. That was before the 'football hooligan' era. Sooner a pint and a chat than a punch up any day of the week. | | | |

Me also. Not being able to ground share in the new stadium with West Ham hurt them. |  |

Leyton Orient Fans’ Trust believe the reaction of president Francesco Becchetti to the petition to wind up O’s will offer a clear indication of his seriousness at selling the Brisbane Road club.
The east Londoners fell to a third consecutive defeat last night at Stevenage and are now six points from safety.
Orient remain 23rd in League Two and were met with news this morning that HM Revenue and Customs have issued a petition to wind up the O’s.
A statement on the LOFT website, read: “A petition to wind up Leyton Orient Football Club Ltd has today been posted in the official Gazette.
“While the details (and in particular the amount) of the debt owed to HM Revenue and Customs is as yet unknown, it is clear that the club is late in paying a tax bill of some nature.
“Winding-up orders are not uncommon in football clubs - Hartlepool United were recently served their third such order in 8 months.
“However, how the club’s owner Francesco Becchetti reacts to this winding-up order will be a clear indicator of his seriousness at selling the club as a going concern.
“If he settles the bill before the hearing date of 20 March then there remains a chance that the club can be sold to new owners.
“If he does not though, then the coming days and weeks may be the most important in Orient’s 116-year history.”
Orient Fans’ Trust revealed earlier this week they have drawn up a plan to deal with what they describe as “crisis scenarios.”
LOFT will present their proposals for their members to vote on tomorrow and are hoping to raise funds to potentially help if O’s enter administration or in the worst case scenario set up a phoenix club.
Becchetti revealed, via a statement from CEO Alessandro Angelieri, in January he was willing to listen to offers for the club, but has put off buyers by asking for a hefty amount for the east Londoners.
With Orient now facing a winding-up petition, it remains to be seen what the future holds for the O’s.

Be interesting to know what [tangible] assets there are. These business people would just as well have a new Sainsbury on the site as a football club, and two hoots to the tradition and community. | | | |

Be nice to organise some support - I remember the feeling when they came to The Vetch with their Petty Out banner.
They play home on Saturday 2nd April - we haven't got a game (Boro home on the Sunday) nice trip to London?? |  | | |

Mid to late fifties Loyal. I warn you I'm very old. They used to line up against the fence on the small bank each with a single letter spelling out LEYTON ORIENT. Used to meet pre game in the Swansea Jack, Paxton and the pubs in that area. | | | |

You'd be right. Started watching Swansea when I was eight, and the start of next season I'll have been 65 years a Jack. Not always a season ticket holder though. It's great to see youngsters at the game for first time and wondering if they'll get "the bug" and realise all the joys and headaches following any football club brings. | | | |

You'll remember the time when some boys would have gone to see the Swans one week and Cardiff the next then. So much for progress with people now behaving like tribal idiots.
My dad's a Villa fan and talks of his time at Villa Park back in the 50s, when it was so crowded people would piss in the trouser pocket of the guy next to them because they couldn't move. Sounds delightful! The rattles would have driven me up the wall too. |  | | |

Never went to Cardiff myself, in those days when the first team were away the reserves were home in the Combination, but must admit to listening to their games on the radio. The first football violence I witnessed was before segregation of supporters when a Cardiff supporter for no reason stuck the head into a Swansea supporter who used to stand under the double decker near my old man and myself. Left a decent guy with a bloody nose. Hated Cardiff after that, never had time for them since. | | | |

Possibly not. Never went myself because I was just a kid, but the old man used to call in for one (his father being East End born) and meet me in 'our spot' under the double decker. As soon as I was old enough to go with my mates it was always the north bank. | | | |
