8 Years ago we went down from here after our then owners ran the club into the ground with terrible decisions on and off the pitch, 8 years later we're finally back and looking to restablish ourselves back here.

Alot of our better players will likely move on, but I hope we can have a decent first season back here like Exeter and Bristol Rovers and maybe Port Vale.

A few potential new grounds for us to play at as well.

From a selfish perspective I need Bolton to complete the 92.....................

Its good to be back.

Welcome.

I hope to not be here myself next year but we shall see.

Have down Orient away as a pre-season friendly a few years ago. Also played in one of your development sides when I was 14 ten years ago. Great club.

Things to note in here:
1) Port Vale are being deliberately targeted by those nasty bastards at the EFL. They don’t get penalties. They get lots of red cards and most importantly, the EFL don’t want them to win. It’s a Leeds-esque level of paranoi. All good fun though. But be careful.. you argue with one about refs and the rest of the pack tend to join.

2) Masi will tell you how between three of their players, they’re worth £70m (£35, £25 and £10 apparently). You have to really try hard not to laugh. He’s not joking. Please don’t offend him by laughing. On a serious note, I admire his optimism that clubs like Bolton, ourselves and everyone in the league has any players of that value as if any of our teams are remotely relevant to big money football. It’s just not the case unfortunately.

3) The resident Pompey fan will likely call you a c**t 79 times a month. He’s just sad that his team are no longer relevant. Take no notice of him. He posts a lot more early season though as it’s the school holidays in august. Same around now for Easter holidays.

4) Barrie may or may not be there. If Wednesday are in the league and winning.. he will be. If they are but are on a bad run.. he will be gone. That’s if they’re in the division at all. A very good chance they’ll be promoted.

5) Finally.. all jokes asides.. take no notice of anything or anyone in here. It’s all good craic. Even this post is just a windup. It’s all good spirited and nobody is a complete tosser nor goes too far. Good luck for the season and enjoy your promotion celebrations.

You need to say what i said......They are not Bolton players and are not Bolton Valuations
Not sure about Shoretire but if the other Two are sold in the next couple of years i am confident that they will go for those kind of amounts

Welcome Orient, I look forward to welcoming you on the opening day of the 23/24 season when all that joy in getting to League 1 goes out the window because you're at "fucking Whaddon Road"!!!

I've been on the train 3 or 4 times to Orient. We usually get our arse handed on a plate but let's hope we're still around to play you. Love a day out in the Smoke.

We've pretty much been here ever since you dropped out. It's OK, I suppose. Welcome back.

Not been to Orient for years, it was Richard Butcher's return on loan last time I was there, so must have been 2005ish.

Not even sure the hotel in the corner was quite finished at that point?

How's Archibald done? Seemed to have been a move that's worked out but haven't heard too much about him recently.

Congrats Orient, looks like you’ve dominated the league all the way through and great effort to secure promotion so early. Hopefully we’ll stay up and we generally enjoy our trips to Brisbane Road but it’s hanging in the balance at the moment.

Well done Orient, well deserved and good to see you back, decent away day (bar the performance we usually put in there).

One of my favourite games last year of course at VP! Still can't believe my mate left in fury when you went 2-1 up with 3 minutes to go! Kicking himself! Decent posters on here so pleased for them and should add to the L1 forum.

Welcome back, you’ll find it’s quite a big step up at this level but if you need any advice on competing up here, don’t ask us.

After playing each other for 9 out of 10 seasons, its been 17 seasons since we last played Lincoln! Your last visit here was indeed 2005 a 1-1 draw.

My last visit to Sincil Bank that season too, also a 1-1 draw.

Archibald is a good player, he fits well into Wellens system, works hard for the team and technically good.

Not the most consistent in terms of end product, but capable of scoring spectacular goals and can lose his head from time to time. Hope he can make the step up.

Hopefully Richie Wellens won't leave us, this will be key in determining how well we do next season.

Personally, I think he is better off staying with us for one more season and learning this level before jumping to a bigger club if he does well, because he hasn't done well in League One with Swindon and Doncaster.

Some talk of Blackpool being interested - he will be under pressure to do well here with them, next season for us is all about staying up.

Well done O's, thoroughly well deserved. Just don't imitate us and you'll be fine.
Will miss having a awayday at Brisbane Rd, it's really one of the best.

Enjoy but be warned it's a tough league where we can all beat each other. Many years when I lived down south went to a game at Orient and we went in the boardroom which was like the inside of a ships cabin, wood panelling everywhere. Tbh it was incredible and very impressive

Congrats to Orient, probably my favourite away day back when we were in L2.

Think they should be pretty confident about competing in L1 so long as they don’t get raided for their best players.

Well done to Orient, L2 just to easy for you lot this season.

Always enjoy a day in the smoke for an away day, so am glad you're up here now.

Side note, I did enjoy seeing the videos of the last 7/8 minutes of last night's game, after yourselves and Gills both securing safety and promotion respectfully.

Good to have a London derby of sorts next season, QPR to follow hopefully.

Welcome !, not sure saying welcome back is appropriate for us, as our forays to this division don’t tend to last very long !. We’ve done great this season though and I hope you guys do next season, aside from playing us of course !

The thought of QPR having to play us in a Central line London derby ammuses me, even if it is literally only 40mins on the tube ground to ground.

Dont think he is that bad at all unlike another Orient poster who sprouts shit from time to time.
Quite amusing and puts his point of view across even though like most of the 2020/21 league two posters they know very little about football.......Orient beat us 4-0 early that season and they thought they had won the world cup
Nothing wrong with the guy

Very happy for Orient, been there many times during the 80's, even turning up for a saturday match when they called it off as we got to the ground
