Justin Edinburgh now changing the crowd formation too - there's nothing he can't manage right now, he must be on top of the world :)

Having let go of my earlier anger at the Wet Spam game, I can now properly express my real joy at seeing Leyton Orient's triumph.

My heart has been warmed by it. Congratulations to the O's!

Yes, great to welcome back the "Os" to the big time. A great local club and some very loyal supporters who deserved better. Hope they flourish in league 2.

Soo, Orient back into League 2, Macc Ladds survived the drop.

If Campbell is still manager there by the time they visit Brisbane Road, damn right I'm going along to watch Orient take them to school and see Sol cry.

It sounds like there's going to be around 25,000 Orient fans at Wembley this weekend.

School..
1967-1969
St Ignatius College, formerly Cardinal Allen school, Cotswold Way Nr Jolly Farmers, between Oakwood and Chase Side
1969-1970
St Ig's College. Turkey Street.

I lived in Stoke Newington during that time but came out on the rattler every school day, it was a kind of grammar school
back then. Entry dependent on exam results and connections.

I hated it and because they had never ever expelled any kid before I was asked to leave, which I gladly did.
I went to Ignatius in the nineties, living in walthamstow it was either them or the unholy family for Catholics.

Didn't like it either, full of pompous self important teachers.

Come on you Os.

0-0 at half time at Wembley. Looking good in attack, but a bit shaky at the back. Fylde good on the counter and should have scored. Os just had a real let-off.

So good to watch lower league football. Non stop action, no play-acting, and without too much of a stretch of imagination you can imagine yourself out there taking a shot at goal. (And missing, obviously!)

Regardless of backing Orient, Fylde totally deserved something from this season, they've been immense and if it had been any other team than Orient in this game I'd have been behind Fylde.

Amazing effort for the season, sort of glad they got something to show for it after the Salford battering.

Orient did look a bit tired, Brophy was trying hard but he was just outpaced and by the time the O's switched to a faster passing game everyone was looking a bit strung out. Great effort from Widdowson again but he just couldn't get the space and Konoma just didn't have his shootin' boots on today - two wild shots from him that didn't even bother the front couple of rows.

Job done though, onwards and upwards, Come on the O's!

After the effort Fylde put in all season and then the kick in the shins of the playoff final, they were never going to give this game less than 150%. Orient rode their luck early doors, then Fylde were let off for a couple of shots to the woodwork, but it was an enjoyable match, no complaints about the outcome, either side could've won this with that little bit of luck.
