Orient a second team for Londoners

Why would one buy a club like Leyton Orient? The answer given by Nigel Travis is that he has been in love with it for sixty years: People said I'd be an idiot to buy this club More solid business reasons are that the club has heritage, a great stadium and there's no hassle getting tickets. Travis argues: 'For many London football fans, it seems that Orient is their second team. That shows we've got true latent support and there's an opportunity for us.' Getting out of the National League is not easy with just one automatic promotion place, but once they have achieved this, Orient could recapture former glories. Well, of a kind.
