Oh I see you're an Orient supporter, I thought you were Palace. How quaint.
To be fair though I must congratulate you for supporting a team like Orient all these years when there are so many better teams close by. I bet your dad was an O too?
Why would Palace give a monkeys about you? The rivalry there is in your head rather like ours with Wet Sham. You'll just have to make do with Bournemouth and Gillingham instead.

I will accept your congrats especially from a fan that knows only too well the pains and triumphs of supporting a smaller club. My Dad was Orient. Was your Dad bha?
We've had rivalries with Bournemouth, Reading and Luton in the past 50 years. And when we were at our tiniest, smallest and least threatening, even little old Orient was considered a needle game. I'm not sure Gillingham has ever been a real rivalry though.I'm sorry but when have Bournemouth or Gillingham ever been our rivals?
If you're going to take the p*ss buddy, then at least get your facts right
Palace & Pompey are our main and closest rivals.
After that, I'm not sure about anyone else, but I'd say Southampton & Reading are disliked more that most other clubs (The Reading one goes back to the 50's apparently but those supporting the Albion before the 70's like myself may be able to shed some more light on this?)
Actually, this is the point. It would be very easy for Orient supporters to trolley off to a premiership ground but they don't. They stay true. and I take my hat off to them.
(And also to the true supporters of Millwall, Palace, Brentford, Barnet...)
Bournemouth were our rivals long before Palace, as were Fulham to a lesser extent. Portsmouth have never really been our rivals as historically they've always been way bigger than us and have always been more interested in Southampton.I'm sorry but when have Bournemouth or Gillingham ever been our rivals?

Your ground does looking pretty good it has to be said. Cant wait till we help you fill it...thats assuming we dont go up of course.
I think we took more than 10 but lets be honest, its a two bob cup and you have a shit ground. Hardly inviting is it? Still, we WON, sorry, repeat, we WON. Two bob cup that meant nothing to us and we beat your sorry side. FACT.
I can hand on heart honestly say i'm SOOOO glad that you did beat us. Gives us a wk off midweek this week and we can concentrate on the main thing which is the league - which we're doing rather well in at the mo. Honestly am so glad we were knocked out of the JPT - even though we had to literally LET you win on Gus' instructions...
This.
The league matches will be so, so different.
Gillingham had their chance to create some rivalry when we played 46+ games on their turf. But no we dont care about them and they dont care about us.
Thats just not true. This is an opportunity to appeal to new fans.
OK, I'll become an Orient fan; I've got bored with brighton and their witty, eloquent and charming fans. I'll sew some sequins on me cap and dance along, thumbs tucked in me braces.
Anyone else ?
"Me ol' bam-boo, me ol' bam-boo...."
Going back to the original post, how is your money safe? Brighton werent exactly long odds to not go up. On the contrary, I put £ on them to win the league at 14/1 - part of an accumulator.
