What’s in a name?
Leyton Orient owner Barry Hearn is considering the ultimate re-branding, re-naming the club London Orient. They would then be the only league club with ‘London’ in the title. The idea is to raise the club’s profile so that it seen as a city club.
The move would probably only go ahead if Orient move into the Olympic Stadium. West Ham United, the likely tenants, have made it clear that they do not want to ground share with Orient.
