Come On Leyton Orient!

[deansaliba]

Millwall is my first team, but having lived near Leyton Orient for a few years I have developed a fondness for them, so much so that if Millwall are playing away and Leyton Orient are at home I will pop along and watch them on a Saturday.

They are flying high in League One at the moment having won all of their eight games so far this season.

Whoa Orry Orry! Orry, Orry, Orry Orry Orient!

I don't have the smallest clue of what you are talking about, well, I have a smallest, I am also fond of Clube de Pescadores da Costa da Caparica, but I think they play in our 4th division, really small club. What division Millwall plays, that name is somewhat familiar to me.

Millwall play in the Championship (the league below the Premier League and the league above League 1)

The English league system is as follows with teams to help further illustrate.

Premier League (Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea, Fulham, West Ham)
Championship (Millwall, Blackburn, Nottingham Forest, Middlesborough, QPR)
League 1 (Leyton Orient, Tranmere Rovers, Sheff Utd, Notts County, Carlisle United)
League 2 (Bristol Rovers, Bury, Rochdale, Cheltenham Town, Portsmouth)
Conference Premier (Start of Non League) (Southport, Luton Town, Chester and Wrexham)
Conference North/South (depending on location)
Northern/Southern/Isthmian Premier League Division (where my 2nd club Marine Athletic play in the Northern Premier)

It then splits further down the table into regional and sub regional areas as defined below

Leyton Orient is not so poor after all, Division 3. Do they have chances of being promoted?

 

[AshleyHughes]

I think they do have a good chance of being promoted providing they keep their current form going, they are 11 points ahead of 7th and the way they have been playing. I do think they may take one of the automatic promotion spots.

11 points ahead of 7th? How many do get promoted? Just one or two no?
