'WE want out club back,' are the words that will be sounded out on Saturday as Leyton Orient fans stage their protest march.

Along with the Blackpool supporters, the O's faithful will travel down Leyton High Road to Brisbane Road to air their grievances about the way the club is being run.

It was only two and half years since the O's were denied a place in the championship after a penalty shootout loss to Rotherham United in the League One play off.

Now they sit 19th in the League Two table and are on their eighth manager, including caretakers, and the Leyton Orient Fan Trust (LOFT) decided the status quo is no longer working.

LOFT member Tom Davies said: "I think we have been talking about staging a protest for a while now, to get our voices in the spotlight.

"Our club has tumbled dramatically in the last two and a half years and results have have not been great especially at home.

"We held our AGM last Thursday and it was the biggest turn out we have had in our 15-year history but we are not signalling out any individuals in the protest.

"It is a simple slogan of we want our club back. Things at the moment are not working, it is a protest to find a better solution."

Owner Francesco Becchetti, who bought the club from Barry Hearn and made his fortune in waste management, has made some interesting buys.

This has made the O's fans, the LOFT in particular, question how he has chosen to spend his £6m he has invested in the club.

The exit of much loved player Dean Cox a day after the transfer window had closed caused many to say enough is enough.

"When Dean Cox left there was a lot of arguments over whether he wanted to leave or stay but he was the last remaining link to that time in 2014," added the 46-year-old from Walthamstow.

"It was the last straw for a lot of people. He symbolised something for a lot of people it was a link back to that time."

Defender Nicky Hunt commented that the players must stay focused on football but also said the Orient fans to this day have been a different class home and away and this could have a positive effect on them come Saturday.

Davies, who has been going to Brisbane Road for more than 30-years, added: "That is what we are hoping for. It is not about getting on the boys backs it's about standing up for the club.

"I was talking on the Orient Outlook podcast and I was chatting to them about when Brighton & Hove Albion fans were protesting when their ground was being sold.

"At that game they won 5-0, I was there and it was a great atmosphere. It is all about getting a positive reaction.

"We can't go on the way it is right now. It was great that we won on Saturday but it is not all about the results, it is about having transparency. We want Becchetti to be more open with us."

Blackpool fans have different issues in particular with how far the club has fallen since their Premier League spell five years ago and their owner Owen Oyston.

Many are expecting a decent turn out on Saturday as The Tangerines fans are making the away trips and boycotting home games.

The protest will begin at 2pm at Leyton's Birbeck Tavern before the game kicks off at 3pm.
