**** Orient and their **** supporters.

Poor show. Put the local rivalry aside and save the disdain for the Premier League clubs who'd be overjoyed if Orient, Southend, Colchester et al went out of business and they could have a sealed Premier League. The death of any club is a tragedy.

Ah! yes, LO and Col Ewe could be in an Essex Senior League or County Combination League, Sunday mornings or Wednesday afternoons when their 8? total fans could watch them without having to miss the job club/bingo/school disco.
Rochdale and Fleetwood could be in Lancs equivalent.

On face value, I certainly wouldn't be adverse to merging League Two with the National League and having North/South divisions. Obviously there'd have to be some quite detailed analyses to determine the impact on club finances etc, but it'd make sense for my money.

Travel costs reduced...increased away support two obvious benefits.
 
I dont want them to go out of business, never want that for any club.

However I doubt there were many protests when they were signing players on ridiculous contracts trying to pursue the dream. Even prior to this nutcase of an owner you had Hearn trying to move them into a 60,000 capacity stadium which was even more ********.

Don't want them to go out of business for sure, but I'm not praying they stay up either.
 
Just seen on the ITV lunch time news that Orient have survived their winding up order for now, as they have paid their tax bill, but could be back in court on June 12th, for other unpaid debts. ITV say he owes another £60,000 to 4 other creditors. Which sounds to me like pocket change for a so called millionaire. Apparently if he doesn't they will force him to sell the club.

The ITV news, hasn't published the video online yet, but the BBC has published a scripted story, it seems to be slightly conflicting in what is being said between the 2 media outlets.

Anyway for now, here's the BBC version:
