What better way to prepare for a banana skin on a plastic pitch (double slippery!) than by combing over the ruins of another Forum #LOFC

Last season, Leyton Orient banked £235,000 in FA Cup prize money by making it to the 4th round. This season's journey starts away at 5th tier Tamworth, who nearly made the 4th round themselves last season by taking Tottenham Hotspurs to extra time #LOFC

Club For a Fiver was 30 years old yesterday! And ever since it's done so much to shape how #LOFC is perceived, both from outside the club and within it.

So come and celebrate that birthday with us now. Thanks so much to the Ear Editor of the era for re-visiting the trauma @tomdaviese17.bsky.social
Still Crazy After All These Years
Cult classic documentary "Club For a Fiver" has just turned 30 years old. The man editing the 'Ear at the time salutes the longevity of a memorable, chaotic chronicle of a memorable, chaotic time.

It's almost like the Leyton Orient players are aware there's a new manager of a bigger club watching from the balcony and want to give him something to think about for the January transfer window #LOFC
