Leyton Orient: Waltham Forest
built 615 days ago
The name Leyton Orient was adopted following the conclusion of the Second World War. The club had moved to Leyton in 1937. A further rename back to simply Orient took place in 1966 after the Borough of Leyton was absorbed into the London Borough of Waltham Forest. That renaming followed a financial crisis (one of several to hit the club, and by no means the first or last) and restructuring of the company behind the club; this is remembered for a "pass the bucket" collection that took place at a special meeting of supporters in the East Stand, when complete closure was claimed to be a definite possibility.

Coincidentally, Leyton Orient have ... won only one of their last eight matches. That win came at Bradford City a fortnight ago, when they pulled ahead of their fellow relegation battlers with a 2-0 win. Despite a 3-1 reverse at the hands of Nottingham Forest last weekend, other results meant that Martin Ling's side is guaranteed League One football next season.
