Happy Orient Day, everyone. What a magnificent 7 years it's been, here's to the future. #lofc

[(O) The Leyton Orientear @leytonorientear]

Since the 1940s, only 5 clubs (Arsenal, Manchester City, Spurs, Sunderland, West Ham) have moved into new stadiums larger than the one David Gandler would like to build.

Here's why we need to think carefully about whether that's a good idea...

@OrientOutlook If we go down, the club will have to revise season card renewal prices down as well.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

The FA and Premier League turn a blind eye to Todd Boehly’s Vivid Seats selling FA Cup semi final tickets for more than a grand.

These organisations are supposed to be the guardians of the game, yet they show the backbone of a jellyfish and the voice of an Easter Island statue when it comes to speaking up for those who built the game, the fans.

Given the silence we have seen over the prices being charged to England and other fans for the World Cup, up to £149 for the new England shirt (that costs £10-15 to produce) perhaps we should not be surprised by the FA’s inaction…but disappointed certainly.

Finances for all League One teams are now in (some clubs do not submit full figures) so here is a summary for 2024/25.

Revenue averaged 12.5m but skewed at the top end by Birmingham and Wrexham with well over £33m each (and of course both were promoted).

This compares to an average of £9.9m in 23/24 and £10.7m in 22/23.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

We are still awaiting results from Rotherham and Huddersfield, but League One clubs between them have managed to accumulate over £1 billion pounds in losses over the years for the first time since records began, so here is a deep(ish) dive into the finances for 2024/25

[Marshall Taylor @marshalltay]

A £15m loss in L1 last season 🤯 just goes to show what we were up against last season at #lofc . I now understand why some of the Charlton directors looked so nervous in the directors box at last season's playoff final.

Excellent to see this up and running. Spread the word fellow O's

LOFT among the signatories to this. Games abroad sets a dangerous and disruptive precedent, at all levels

[Football Supporters Europe @FansEurope]

430+ groups. 27 nations. 3 million European fans represented.

One message: #KeepFootballHome

We stand united against the relocation of domestic league games abroad.

4 years after the super league, football faces a new existential threat.

❌ Don’t be misled by the “just one game” claim from @LaLiga & @SerieA. Once a match is played abroad, more will follow.

👇 Serie A’s president has already admitted he wants an entire matchday staged outside Italy.

[WHUISC @WHU_ISC]

This was an incredibly hard decision for the supporter representatives on the West Ham United Fan Advisory Board to make.

We sent this to the shareholding board directors last Friday pm.

We will continue to work to try to improve things for supporters .
