I quite like people not tipping us, most of these types had us down at 14th -22nd before the start of the season

Be just the thing to blow the Little Leyton Orient tag away once & for all by getting promoted

This is broadly true, but NTT20 is one of the better ones

Even if we get promoted, this will not make us a big club. We spent all the 1970s in the old second division, but we were still Little Leyton Orient (not sure when we dropped the "Leyton"). We are little Leyton Orient because we are in London and are surrounded by big clubs.

In the 70s we were Never Little Leyton Orient.
We were Orient. I was amongst the 30,000 at The Villa game in 74, I was at The Chelsea cup games 25,000+
Middlesborough 18,000 +++ .
In a 30,000+ capacity stadium we you think we were luttle?

2,500 going to Huddersfield last weekend shows things are changing.

I was at those games too. As always, we were always underdogs. I remember when we played Arsenal at White Hart Lane in the FA Cup semi final . We were referred to by Brian Moore as the "poor old Os".

Not sure that's the reason. We have been badly run for decades until the current regime took over and football economics have changed a lot since the 70s.

There’s something about Orient, whether it’s “little” or not, that makes a lot of other fans see us as nice/harmless.
