Leyton Orient: Clubs
built 616 days ago
Leyton Orient's most recent promotion was in the 2005/06 season, finishing in 3rd place and gaining automatic promotion to the Football League One under the direction of manager Martin Ling. This was the club's first automatic promotion in 36 years, and ended a period of 11 years in the English league's bottom division. This promotion season ... saw an excellent FA Cup run, with Leyton Orient progressing to the 4th round after beating Premiership side Fulham F.C.. Promotion was only secured in the final minutes of the final game of the season, away at Oxford United; with the score tied at 2-2 and Orient seemingly destined to miss out yet again on promotion, news came through of a late goal scored against promotion rivals Grimsby Town F.C. that would potentially promote Orient, and the Orient fans were still celebrating this when - some 14 seconds later - Lee Steele scored to confirm Orient's promotion. The result also relegated Oxford to the Football Conference.

Leyton Orient's home stadium, Brisbane Road, is situated in Leyton, in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. It is officially known as the Matchroom Stadium after chairman Barry Hearn's sports promotion company. Barry Hearn became chairman in 1995 after the club was famously put on sale for five pounds by the then-chairman, Tony Wood OBE, after his coffee-growing business in Rwanda was destroyed by that country's civil war. The period of the club's near-closure was covered by the television documentary Orient: Club for a Fiver [1] (made by Open Media for Channel Four). The documentary is commonly but incorrectly known as Yours for a Fiver.

Nottingham Forest finished the afternoon in second place after a convincing win over promotion rivals Leyton Orient. It was a quiet start from Forest with Leyton Orient defending in numbers. But the home side kept pushing forward and were rewarded with a goal on the half hour. The goal changed the game completely with Forest looking threatening up to the half time whistle. Forest dominated much of the second half and two more goals made it an uphill battle for Orient. Forest put the final nail in the coffin with a late goal by substitute Matt Thornhill, his first senior goal for the club.
