Leyton Orient

[ewe2]

I feel a moment should be taken from our celebrations ,and a thought given to Leyton Orient.....They had their Hereford moment today......and got relegated out of the league.We are very lucky to have had ,in the first instance Dick Knight,and now Tony Bloom.......

hmmm 4-4......but then again

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Yeah, so much for Barry Hearn who didn't see the job through like DK. I have a bit of a soft spot for the older traditional clubs like
Orient. Second oldest London club. My youngest was an Albion mascot there over 20 years ago. Sad day for football, hopefully they'll do a Lincoln and get back some day.

One of my favourite games - in the case of their owners the lack of intervention from the FA is concerning.

And your surprised by this ?

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I have pity for any team that drops out the league. It's tough getting back.

 

[Sergio Garcia]

And your surprised by this ?

Not surprised....regardless of the fact that the owners are mismanaging the club....I think they've had 10 managers in the last couple of years, the fact that staff are not being paid & now could lose their jobs on the basis of today's results, makes it more critical for intervention.

They nearly did not do anything with us until some sharp (supporters) eyes spotted an Articles of Association change..

 

[Bill Cassidy's tie up]

Very sad, cannot understand how these people get away with it. We were lucky we had people determined to fight for our existence.

why did Hearn quit ? ,
did his ownership need some of his funding ?

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Barry Hearn i believe only sold the Club and not the freehold ?

Yes I believe this is true, with I believe a secure tenancy agreement for quite a number of years, for the extended life of the football club, a cynic may say cut it loose to wither and die then to continue the redevelopment of the very valuable real estate! but that could not possibly be true could it?

 

[sydney]

one minute vying to call the new wembley stadium home ....dumped out of the league the next.....the words shafted and improbable immediately spring to mind.....hope they can re group and get back up soon.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Listening to the Vanarama scores today I was struck by how many former League clubs there are in that division. I feel for their fans and hope things get better for their club very soon.

Like business, if you can't run it properly then it goes to the dogs.

 

[Leekbrookgull]

Like Walthamstow ?

Spare a thought for (reformed clubs) Halifax,a traditional league club over many years and the recent league new boys Rushden & Diamonds,both who are even lower these days.

Good to highlight Halifax. They are the play offs away from being in the Conference and have pulled in btw 1.5k and 3k for 6th tier home matches. Good luck on the journey back. A few other ex league teams with them, Stockport, Kidderminster, Darlington, Boston

He bought the club for a fiver and sold it to an Italian in 2014 - it went downhill very quickly from there. His company retained ownership of the ground. This remind you of anything?
