Dear Leyton Orient fans, it will turn around. I am a Lincoln City fan and as you are well aware it is we who are taking your place next season in the Football League. Six years ago, we too lost our league status after a disastrous run of defeats at the business end of the season - the memory still hurts. We've had half a decade of mediocrity since then, with a team who had never really threatened to challenge to even consistently break into the top half of the National league table, and with a board with recognisably good intentions but with no clout to back it up. It has been torrid time as a LCFC fan to say the least. This year was our clubs renaissance, a dogged campaign full of fight in the NL to take the title and a headline grabbing run in the FA Cup - we had to wait, we had to be patient, but it has finally come. It just takes a spark to lift a club, to fulfil it's potential and the expectations folks have of it, and ours came right out of left field in the shape of the Cowley brothers. It's all the more amazing what they and the players have achieved because our expectations for last season weren't particularly high. It's a different scenario for you, your expectation is obviously to bounce right back and I hope you can do that once you have managed to oust the criminal Beccheti, that odious coward. I hope you find that aforementioned spark and that Leyton Orient as a club and community can get back in the EFL as soon as possible, it is where you are meant to be. When that day comes, I look forward to crossing swords at Sincil Bank. Good luck next season.

Three Steps Sideways Thanks. Well aware of the Lincoln story, i used to follow a fans vlog on youtube back in the day around the time you dropped out and kept an eye on things in the conference. Glad you've made your way back to the football league, Lincoln fans were always a good laugh. We are finally rid of Becchetti so hopefully onwards and upwards, but i know it may take a while.

[@matthewpotter1365]

Orient need rebuild time but when I’m low because of footy I think it could be worse than this. Forest fan by the way. #mindthegap

[@UpTheOs10]

We’re back! But our coach sadly passed who got us back 🥺😢

[@LewisG0201]

You were correct mate, we are in a good position right now

[@danyfromcta]

Best Copa90 documentary ever made...by fuckin' far...well done lads

[@jamesheyworth3566]

I am a Burnley FC fan and we were lucky in the 86/87 season we played your lads at home got the win and Lincoln city lost going down and Burnley surviving . What I'm trying to say is I've always had a soft spot for Leyton orient and wish you well and get back as soon as possible because a club with your history still has more chapters to complete . Good luck ....see you again soon

[@Realbillball]

I'm a fellow Claret. I feel the same way.

[@jakewalker1146]

Cheers (Leyton Orient fan) good luck with your season, looking like Tarkowski might be going to the World Cup at this rate

[@merchantmailbox3432]

was at the orient Colchester game (in the away end - Colchester fan here). it's so sad what's happened to them. feel for their fans. have the right to protest. I loved to see orient still giving it a go despite relegation. despite all this negativity I was happy that I was there as another clubs fan to see it

"We havent been trough thick and thin, we've been trough thin and thin" "But you're still here, your son is here, your grandson is here" "and still are next season. This is when the club needs ya" what a top bloke #RESPECT

[@gamehous3]

Heartbreaking honestly, as a Luton fan i can say i feel so much for Orient. Having the FA and EFL sit there an watch a club suffer because of negilgence. You guys will be back and i hope in the near future you guys once again find your properous form and find yourself pushing for the big leagues #BecchettiOut

[@RoughWeightloss]

Being a northerner I had never even heard about the massive struggle of orient! A club who when I was a kid I used to look for their scores on final score. I hope your future becomes brighter and you overcome the **** who is ruining your club. We are all one. Good luck orient (Wigan athletic fan)

[@markaz08]

what a brilliant documentary, Eli, you have really captured the heartbreak. blackpool next please, oyston is another clown.

[@luukvangendt5541]

Luuk Van Gendt technically we are up for sale so yes oysten is as good as gone, Blackpool can breathe again. Thank god..

Don’t let Fawaz al Hasawi take you, he will relegate you very quickly as he nearly did to forest

#OystonOut mission accomplished as of mid Feb 😄

[@peachesza]

Fantastic doc. No affiliation to the club, but the passion had me in tears

[@Ca11umH]

As a filmmaker and a football fan, this is a work of art and I take my hat off to you. You have perfectly captured the heart, soul and solidarity that these fans of shown. I've seen ups and downs with Norwich - even being knocked out of the FA Cup by Orient - but nothing could compare to what this club has been through.

[@houseofsports8122]

Who thinks Eli and his team are the best sports reporters they've seen?

[@jskskxm4306]

This just came up on my recommended 3 years later... and although these times shown in this video aren’t exactly happening now, I’ve completely fallen in love with this club. An amazing documentary!

[@Mister_Superfly]

I'm not a Leyton Orient fan but my word what a fantastic documentary, so well done and have such respect for you. Fantastic work!

[@killertckk]

One of the best copa's video since the beginning Good work Eli .

[@martpowell6897]

Then again if it's any consolation am a Stockport County F.C. supporter and have been so for some time, it was only around 19/20 years ago we won 2-1 away at main road manchester city and competing with the likes of WBA, Nott's Forest, Wolves, QPR. we then get relegated a few divisions get promoted via the play offs in the 08/09 season but due to poor ownership lead us to spend the worst in Vanarama National North playing the likes of, Harrogate Town, Tamworth, Leamington, Colwyn Bay, Hyde United etc....

[@ianishagirsc8220]

As a Rangers fan I know exactly how the orient fans feel I wish your club all the best

[@stewartmeehan4537]

Who was worse know King or whyte. ( Celtic fan)

Stewart Meehan in my opinion there both as bad as each other

Who else is a Chesterfield fan and feels the same as these fans. In three years we've gone from play-offs in league 1 to bottom of league 2, probably our last season in the football league

[@NICKEXRN]

What an absolute great documentary! Stumbled across it by accident! And was totally glued to it!

[@BenEarlyGhostFish]

Who else is back here now bechetti's gone

[@andygramajo8133]

He's gone? Thank god.

[@BenEarlyGhostFish]

yeah, i think another person who knows their shit has taken over, hopefully they'll recover from this now.

[@UpTheOs10]

steven clark they can’t find him he ran away , we are in mid table now in national league got a great manager and other players good to we look like we may return to football league next year

[@brazil_is_a_africa538]

I mean we top of the league so we are looking good

[@benltfc8462]

I'm a Luton fan and I am devastated to see Orient go down in 2009 we went down and it took us 5 years to get back in the football league and those 5 years felt like hell I wouldn't wish relegation from league 2 to any team (other than our rivals) but still #Becchetti Out

[@jphoenix3318]

Love this. I am an Aldershot fan and we have recently had our troubles and it is tough, even if we are not as necessarily big as Orient or have the same issues. You will be back in the league, problem is only two up from conference is a bit of a joke. The game the other week at orient was the highlight of my season, couldn't wait to go. Good luck for rest of season

[@jeeksmeme2218]

WHICH TIER OF ENGLISH FOOTBALL?

[@theronin3938]

I’m a Millwall fan and I had a tear in my eye watching this. Rich people destroying a club with so much history again fucking makes me so angry good luck orient for the future

[@MursGaming2]

Still watch this after 3 years! It's probably one of the best documentaries from Copa 90 And look at the table 0:30 - Brentford are now Premier League...7 years later!

[@RossHamMil]

Hartlepool fan here. Feel for orient, don't deserve this and we're in a very similar position. Hope both clubs recover next season

[@euanellis5234]

Thanks for beating Doncaster You won us the league

I'm not even a big fan of the english league. But those feels hit me hard man.

This was heart breaking to see I'm West Ham fan and to see how this happend to a old school club like orient is disgraceful

Geez, as a Villa fan, I thought just getting relegated to the championship a few years back was bad enough, but to see what Orient had gone through, I’m so glad things are starting to look better again! All the best LOFC!!

[@brianbks02]

Respect and solidarity from a Dundee United fan. Orient! Orient, Orient, Orient! #COYO

[@philaugustus9713]

Emotional. From a Leicester City fan for 46 years, and seeing the highs and lows of being a football supporter, this should never happen to another football club. Bad ownership is not bad football. Lose on the pitch, fair and square, you can accept that. But to watch an owner rip the heart out of a community club through incompetence is criminal. I am glad you are now back in division 4 and working your way back up the league. PS sorry about running on the pitch in 1980. I got a little excited that day.

[@Johannel83]

I lived in Leyton for two years back in 2005. Good luck guys, hope your shit gets sorted! From South Africa.

[@johnclifford1537]

I am on the other side of the world, had never heard of LO, yet find myself really touched by this video. Great passion and sensitivity by the film maker. Moving stuff.

Wild watching this in 2024 and hearing them talk about Luton in League 2... football is both beautiful and brutal
