1) They host Tottenham's reserves
2) As the crow flies they are quite near us
3) They sound like a Chinese restaurant

Nope, it says on wikipedia that Matchroom Stadium hosts Sp*rs reserves.

i must admit i have always had a soft spot for orient,, prob the fact that there were the local team to our home when i was a wee lad in hackney

Have to admit i have a soft spot for Orient too as my mums side of the family supports them but i cant believe they sold their soul to the devil

by hiring their pitch to sp*rs. The only redeeming factor is they do wear red

Nobody hates Orient do they?? I always have a bit of a soft spot for them coz they knoecked the chavs out of the FA cup in 1972, 3-2 at Brisbane Rd after being 2-0 down at half time to a chav side that had Osgood, Hollins, Hutchinson etc, made wonderful tv viewing I can tell you

Oh there I go again, talking about the old days

I spose I should hate them as they're big rivals of my local team, Southend Utd but I really can't be arsed

And in 1978 they rolled over against us in the FA Cup semi final. Two own goals in the first half (though Supermac, inevitably, claimed both of them) meant it was probably the easiest semi final we've ever played.

I've been grateful to them ever since.

remember the shirt from the semi,, yellow and blue with the neck half down the chest and the big cannon in the middle,,
that was a shirt

I too have always liked Orient and if I didn't support the Arse, they'd probably be my team (locality and whatnot), or maybe Barnet.

Judging by posts on this thread, this board is manifested by closet-Leyton Orient fans
