I used to avoid that old north terrace lavvy.
One match I had to use it,took a deep breath and went in
But my breath didn't last,breathed out,and nearly passed out with the stench.Happy days

I will never forgive Hearn for what he did. I imposed a three year ban on myself as the only way I could protest against what Hearn had done.I returned when my club was in peril on the day Blackpool and Orient fans held a joint protest march.I have cherished my place at Orient ever since.One of the reasons I get a little tetchy if I feel our present set up is getting a little stick as I am so grateful for what has happened since that Orient-Blackpool match. |

The north stand with the burger stand,right next to the stinky toilets also beggared belief..😂..How that didn’t put people off their burgers and hot dogs I’d never know..Good old days 😁 |

The worst toilets ever were Dundalk Ireland.
As there wasn't any.
I was with spurs pals it was euro cup winners cup 81
Open terrace,fence at front,chicken wire back.the Dundalk lads threw bricks,the spurs lads threw back as the match was on!
Once went to Millwall v spurs old den 1977
Millwall fans threw bricks,one just missed my head I heard the whoosh as it passed me.

If any of us want to support a big club in a 70,000 ground, there's nothing stopping us from taking a 38 bus up Lea Bridge Road and watching Arsenal. We all support Orient because we're real fans who watch real football. Absolutely this . I’ve never lived in Leyton or anywhere near it but travelling to and from it the more I consider the population to be a transient population so never getting the loyalty thing from the people that live in Leyton . So naturally the kids don’t get the Orient genes passed on and most become Arsenal, Spurs or Hammers fans and eventually leave East London . Anyway that’s my take on low ish gates . |

Doesn't look like money well spent atm. Maybe should've waited to see what impact the TV deal would have on attendances before expanding the capacity of a stadium we don't own. Hopefully we'll start getting more in the stands after August. Even last season the figure that Orient issued was never accurate ,there was always loads of seats empty . I suspect fans just bought season tickets because they were cheaper and they didn’t mind missing a few games . |

Like most people here I used to get the
"Why do you support a team like orient they sell their best players"?
I'd always reply because I'm not a glory hunter.
Most I knew jumped on the spurs glory glory 60s bandwagon.
I supported my local team who needed money badly(1966ish)
Went to spurs 50k crowds then to orient 5k.you felt like a family member.they didn't understand that
