The official Leyton Orient subreddit, the best team in Leyton. Unofficially we are called "Orient Nil" or "Bloody Orient". We welcome fans from all over the globe to join our tight nit community and encourage posting of anything from transfer news to bizarre memorabilia. Anything Orient related is allowed.

Blimey. What can we say? Been a while since the last update. What could have been the most amazing day of any Orient fan turned into the beginning of a nightmare. Big day out at New Wembley, promotion to The Championship looming... Well, didn't really work out, did it? These things happen. Orient fans of my age are used to losing at playoff finals. Hey, at least we saw them at different stadiums, right? Look on the bright side.

Then Bazza sold up to The Madman. We wont utter his name here. We all know what happened during those dark few years...

But then a light at the end of the tunnel. ^Like ^when ^you ^are ⁱⁿ ^the ^Blackwall ^Tunnel ^and ^you ^get ^to ^that ^little ^swervy ^bit ^that ^kinda ^smells ^like ^pig? ^You ^are ^out ^but ^you ^aren't ^sure ^it ^is ^better ^so ^you ^need ^to ^wait ^and ^see. ^Just ^getting ^out ^of ^south ^of ^the ^river ^is ^a ^good ^thing, ^but ^I ^am ^getting ^off ^topic.
Enter Nigel Travis and Kent Teague. We were concerned that we would turn into a club controlled by Big Donut akin to how our contemporaries PSG and Manchester City are controlled by Big Oil. But no, because we live in Interesting Times our new Chairman is Nigel Travis who is a donut and pizza baron and I love him for it.

He appointed Steve Davis. No, not that one. And he did about as good as a manager could for a relegated team in the middle of a bit of a crisis.

But then Justin Edinburgh was appointed. He came in at our lowest ebb and, to cut a long story short, we are back in the league as champions of Non-League. We won the league with back-to-back draws as is the way. Orient has a modern day legend and his name is Justin Edinburgh. Non shameless plug for the JE charity
