Joint statement by Tangerine Knights and Blackpool Supporters' Trust......
It was decided between both groups earlier today that Leyton Orient(LOFT) will lead our march next Saturday for Judgment Day 3. Whilst we may have big problems with our owners, it's worth pointing out that Leyton Orient are facing the possibility of going out of business due to monies owed to HMRC and other creditors.
The club are back in the High Court in June where their owner Francesco Becchetti has promised to pump in £1m to keep the club alive. If he doesn't pump that money in there is a real possibility the football club will be wound up. Orient's staff and players weren't paid last month which resulted in a Go Fund Me page being set up by Sophie Palmer which raised £5000 and enabled staff to be paid. Leyton Orient Supporters' Trust also set up a separate Go Fund Me page to help save their club should the unthinkable happen in June. So far they have raised £140,000 and so any bucket collections on #JD3 will be donated to the LOFT regeneration fund.
In keeping with the #FansUnited theme we feel it is highly appropriate that they should lead the Judgment Day 3 march.
