Leyton Orient return to the Football League
It was all but a formality today and a 0-0 home draw against Braintree means they go up to League Two as National League champions.
Solihull Moors, Salford, Wrexham, AFC Fylde, Harrogate and Eastleigh will contest the play-offs.

Looked like Graham Alexander would get Salford up as Champions at one point but they had a huge wobble, pleased for Orient though

Re: Leyton Orient return to the Football League
I think a lot of us have a soft spot for Leyton Orient because of 1987, and I'm well pleased Salford haven't made it, nothing but a toy for a few rich men.

Re: Leyton Orient return to the Football League
Why did the Class of 92 buy Salford and not Bury or Oldham?

Wasn't it a joint venture with some guy from the Far East. Sentiment would have gone out of the window where Bury and Oldham were involved.nyclaret wrote:Why did the Class of 92 buy Salford and not Bury or Oldham?

Especially when West Ham effectively moved into their patch and must have tempted fans away.

Re: Leyton Orient
A Club that we will always be bound to, what with one of our most famous and important games eponymously associated with them. Glad to see them back after a few difficult years.

Re: Leyton Orient
Funny when I was on an a Friends of the Earth Climate Change trip to Copenhagen a few years ago I met an Orient fan, he was the first and last one I’ve met who was actually at our game in 86/87 and in the away end.Lord Beamish wrote:A Club that we will always be bound to, what with one of our most famous and important games eponymously associated with them.

I was also at that dreadful 0-3 game when DJ was making his debut but I think he excused himself by saying that he wasn’t very fit when Casper signed him and should have not really played that night.
When he went out on loan to Doncaster Rovers and they played at the Turf we all saw what Jones was really like having gained fitness, did he not score the only goal in their 0-1 win as well?

How does the National League play off system work with 6 teams? The two highest ranked teams automatically into the semis?ClaretTony wrote:It was all but a formality today and a 0-0 home draw against Braintree means they go up to League Two as National League champions.

Yeah I think so, and the games are all just one leg I believe, with the team that finished highest having home advantage.JohnDearyMe wrote:How does the National League play off system work with 6 teams? The two highest ranked teams automatically into the semis?

Top (Leyton Orient) go up and the play offs are thenJohnDearyMe wrote:How does the National League play off system work with 6 teams? The two highest ranked teams automatically into the semis?
4th v 7th
5th v 6th
These are one leg games and then the winners play 2nd & 3rd in the semi-finals with 2nd & 3rd at home. Then the final at Wembley.

Re: Leyton Orient return to the Football League
Strange as the Nevilles have a Bury connection through their father and Scholes & Butt are massive Oldham fans. As per the previous reply regarding initial purchase price though.nyclaret wrote:Why did the Class of 92 buy Salford and not Bury or Oldham?

Something ironic about them being a “Class of 92 project” when they’re effectively the Manchester City of the non-league.ClaretTony wrote:I think a lot of us have a soft spot for Leyton Orient because of 1987, and I'm well pleased Salford haven't made it, nothing but a toy for a few rich men.
