Leyton Orient Development

[SpiderBee]

I see Leyton Orient have planning permission for new north stand!

Pointless when they are getting only four thousand coming in.

Perhaps they are planning ahead?

I don't recall Reading getting twenty-three thousand plus before Madejski was built?

I agree but Leyton Orient signed their own death warrant by building in stages a ten thousand all-seater stadium.

They'll probably run out of money in five years time and won't have the luxury of doing the same trick again.

I didn't know you were au fait with LOFC finances?
With the ground developed, they wont have to do it again surely?
Isn't a roof on Ealing Road the first stage of GP redevelopment, stage by stage then?
If not then why are we bothering?
Or is it just plan B?

"If you build it they will come"!!!!

Darlington being the only notable exception.......... f%^k knows what theyre going to do with that white elephant.........holds twenty-seven thousand yet they only have a license for six thousand maximum due to health and safety issues.........oh well, we'll see it in all its glory next season I suppose

Olympic Stadium for Leyton Orient?

Maybe Leyton Orient will inherit the Olympic Stadium?

West Ham United's Magnusson said: "It would appear that the option chosen by the Olympic Board could not work for West Ham United, given the needs of a modern football club, but we are positive about the discussion which has taken place.

"As a club we remain ambitious for the development of our stadium and will be exploring, in conjunction with the Mayor of London, other options as we move forward."

London organising chairman Lord Coe had already stated the Olympic stadium in Stratford will hold 80,000 seats for the Games but would be reduced to 25,000 afterwards. The number of seats West Ham United wanted would have changed the timeframe for construction due to the alterations in the design.

Officials have also ruled out other Premier League clubs moving to the stadium, with Tottenham looking to increase their capacity or relocate from White Hart Lane.

It means a lower-league club, such as nearby Leyton Orient, have not been ruled out of moving into the stadium.

Orient chairman Barry Hearn is keen to move his club away from their current Brisbane Road home and the stadium at Stratford has been suggested as a possibility.

They won't inherit it. They will pay rent to use it once a fortnight. Hearn will then sell Brisbane Road, pay off the debts no doubt owed to him and sail off into the sunset.

Meanwhile 4,000 Leyton Orient fans will be left rattling around in a 25,000 athletics stadium that does not really suit football. Might be better than Brisbane Road I guess...
