Hi there
Was hoping you could help the O's by publicising this online petition.
http://www.fsf.org.uk/petitions/save-orient.php
Supporters' Online Petition - SAVE LEYTON ORIENT FOOTBALL CLUB
We the undersigned urge the government and Mayor of London's office to help Save Leyton Orient Football Club by reconsidering their endorsement of West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium. Premier League and Football League rules on ground moves clearly state a move should not "adversely affect Clubs (or Football League clubs) having their registered grounds in the immediate vicinity of the proposed location". The London Olympic Stadium is within the "immediate vicinity" of Leyton Orient FC.
NO FOOTBALL WITHOUT THE O's: SAVE LEYTON ORIENT FOOTBALL CLUB.

My local club - east, east, east London. Lovely club with a real family atmosphere. If you're taking young kids to a game, let's hope locals still choose the Orient.
-
Yep, I'll sign that.
-
How long will the FA Cup run keep them going?
-
They'll make a few quid next August - parking cars on their pitch!
-
Signed, good luck to them.
-
Signed. Best of luck.
-
Signed.
Went to Brisbane Road on a few occasions whilst I was living down in the Big Smoke.

Signed up. Good luck to them.

Signed.

Signed of course. My local team when I was a kid and the first team I ever saw playing live (they beat the Baggies so it was well worth it).
-
Done,
but will it make any difference????????
-
Signed.
Still feel bad about us stopping them being promoted in 1974.
-
Signed up to that.
Anything to help a decent club against the porn merchants
-
Also worth noting that Villa fan Andrew Whing is playing for the O's, if they go bust he wont be able to afford to come to Villa games.
-
Signed up. Had a look at some names on the petition. One has put "don't save Orient they're c****!". Why sign the petition then!
-
Done,
but will it make any difference????????
No, probably not. The Olympic Stadium has been a big enough embarrassment for the Olympic Park Legacy Company and the London 2012 team as it is. Now having made a decision, they won't go back on it and am pretty sure that the PL and the FA won't do anything to jeopardise this. Just another nail in the coffin of football (and athletics and integrity and and and).
But have signed it anyway.
-
Signed up to that.
Anything to help a decent club against the porn merchants
As a decent club I would have signed it even if it wasn't against the porn barons.
Come to think of it, in those circumstances, I would have signed it even if they weren't a decent club.

DONE...One of my first games was The O's vs Villa in the '72/73 season at Brisbane rd....my abiding memory was sitting about 2 rows behind Vic Crowe..as a 8 year old the love affair with The Villa started...Had'nt been down at Brisbane rd in nearly 35 years up until about 2 years ago[moved to Ireland in '73].Welcomed with open arms on a normal week day,brought out to the pitch for photo with the Leyton Orient FC stand in the background.Honest ,decent football folk.
Long Live The O'S.
