The Leyton Orientear

Watching every Club Harry Kane played for basking in the glory of his Ballon D’Or reminds us of the truth of: “success has a thousand fathers, and failure is an orphan”

Beer, marmite, and a storm - @leytonlaureate.bsky.social on a bad-tempered afternoon in the East Midlands as #LOFC switch poor home form for poor away form

Your Ear match preview is here, and with a very obvious pun too. #BAFC are a modest club in a modest new stadium. And yet they've spent more time in the Championship this last decade than #LOFC have in over 40 years...

Andy Woodman's departure from Bromley lifts Richie Wellens to 6th in the list of longest-serving Managers in England's top four divisions #LOFC

The OsZone is a great resource for #LOFC and a real labour of love. Because it was so helpful to us when preparing for next week’s event, we thought it only fair to support their work by sponsoring all 11 of those players’ pages. theoszone.com

Our review of #LOFC first defeat on the road this season

Well that Fans’ Forum was a bit more efficient this time, in spite of the lengthy “state of the art” outages. Devlin the only one fronting for Gandler’s fantasies, albeit with less conviction than the man himself.

If you've not got a ticket already, what are you waiting for? They're free, and Henry Hughton will be there! #LOFC

If you're interested in either #LOFC or in classical music, you should read this book. If you're interested in both, then you should definitely read it.

Once again for the Sunday crew #LOFC #BFC

Sobering reading from the IFR's "State of the Game" report out today, particularly for League One clubs, where losses have been accelerating faster than anywhere else in the pyramid! #LOFC

This promises to be a lot of fun tomorrow... And we'll be doing some in-depth analysis of our own soon

We're pleased to be able to share some of what went down at the first "proper" #LOFC FAB meeting last week, thanks to Sam Hooper...

CONFIRMED - we're absolutely delighted that Bobby Fisher, the first Black player to represent the Os in competitive football, will be joining us on 28th! Stay tuned for more announcements coming soon! Make sure to grab your (free) ticket here #LOFC www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/orient-mem...

I love it when footballers immerse themselves in the culture/music scene of the city they are living in which explains why Sean Clare and Theo Archibald are by far my two favourite Leyton Orient players (not to mention their footballing ability!). I wish Sean all the best with his music project!

Some footballers have a lot more going on than just football. Sean Clare is one of those footballers. We spoke to a player who has become part of the fabric at #LOFC by bringing so much more than just what he does on the pitch.

O Richie, Richie, wherefore art thou Richie?

A club which seems to have lost its way, in full sight of a stadium half full of tourists

Plymouth preview right here! (sorry, still no sign of Richie) #LOFC

Maybe being surrounded by lots of independent businesses in a traditional urban, diverse, and richly cultured setting is ideal for us, and we fuck with that at our peril? #LOFC

No site secured, no planning permission, and no funding: so David Gandler needs to create a sense of momentum around his plans for a new stadium and campus Free to read! This one is public service journalism, after all… #LOFC

It's Thursday and that can mean only one thing; a new blog is up. This week we are back down the smoke, this time to celebrate a new arrival to the fanzine family, one that weights in at 272 pages in the first edition, bet they don't keep that up! footballfanzineculture.blog/2026/10/01/f...

Ironic that we now have a genuine football man as PM, and his two clumsiest interventions so far have both been on the subject of football. Here’s @tomdaviese17.bsky.social on the first of them, and how Burnham is not reading the room

I think this will be one of the defining images of the Premier League's void years: a proudly working class fanbase celebrating that the ruling family of an oppressive regime had hired a barrister on £10,000-an-hour to try and prevent them suffering consequences for their cheating. Embarrassing.

ICYMI - on the enduring niche appeal of #LOFC to people around the world. Change it at our peril!

With #MCFC all up in the news again, why not take another look at "115 things you need to know about Manchester City" which we put together in preparation for our FA Cup tie against them 18 months ago...

#LOFC fans should keep a close eye on this campaign... 👀

Archie The Pub Bore used to say "30 years man and boy" 30? Bloody hell Archie, try 40 because that is how long the never boring (Leyton) Orientear has been going. Read all about it here. footballfanzineculture.blog/2026/09/24/4...

We were delighted to welcome Britain’s leading historian on football fanzines to our exhibition on Saturday. Here’s the delightful article he wrote about it, which includes new detail we didn’t even know about ourselves! @fanzinefc.bsky.social
