Really feel sorry for Leyton Orient and their fans. A grand old club. I lived in Walthamstow from '79 to '88 and often strolled down to Brisbane Road to take in a game. Without a shadow of a doubt the best, most long suffering and good humoured and knowledgeable fans in London.
How strange when Burnley were on their uppers I asked an 'Os fan to buy me a programme [curiosity value] for their last match of the season at Turf Moor. Why? Because if Burnley had lost they'd be out of the league and I'd got a programme of the match at Maine Road in 1960 [?] when Burnley drew 1-1 to become League Champions.
Strange to think that Burnley operate in the premiership now [and should be an inspiration to all us 'small town' clubs] but Orient are out of the League. Yet again a fine club is ruined by questionable ownership [to be polite.] Good luck for the future Orient. Your biggest asset is your great heart.
UTT!
