Posted August 20, 20159 yr #1 Dear Notts County fans I am a Leyton Orient fan and I come in peace and to ask for your help. In 2012, London hosted a fantastic Olympics, but the legacy of that event could be the very future of smaller football clubs with a long and proud history. The bill for reconversion of the stadium stands at £272m with West Ham United only contributing £15m. Boris Johnson, the LLDC and the government, refuse point blank to publish the rental agreement that sees the taxpayer forking out for repairs, water, electric, pitch maintenance, stewarding and even policing costs, meaning a massive state aid giveaway – an unfair subsidy on competition between ALL clubs, and not just those closest to the Queen Elizabeth Park. A joint London coalition of several fans trusts have started a petition which we urge EVERY football fan and taxpayer to sign – the link to the petition appears below – and to share with friends, family and work colleagues. Thanks in advance https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/106355
August 20, 20159 yr #4 @nigel_diamond - We really pride ourselves on the connections we forge with opposition fans, we call them 'residents' here and I really hope you may continue to be apart of our site. I just wanted to mention this firstly, as within football it may be tribal but one thing I have found since starting this site - You may support the one club, yet football is universal and we do enjoy hearing from fans with various backgrounds.I will share this on PON's social pages quite happily and I will also sign it.Good Luck and all the best with your season.

August 20, 20159 yr Author #6 Thanks. We now have 10,000 signatures from supporters of clubs up and down the country and the number is increasing. Football fans regardless of who they support are uniting over this!
August 22, 20159 yr #8 Remember to support some of the people who helped you out.Done this myself, don't worry I used my old UK address. Nobody will know
