Standing up for O’s fans since 2001

We’re the Leyton Orient Fans’ Trust, and since 2001 we’ve been the independent voice for Leyton Orient fans. We’re part of the network of Supporters’ Trusts up and down the country, and an affiliate member of the Football Supporters’ Association.

Democratic and accountable

A Supporters’ Trust, like LOFT, is an independent, democratically-organised supporters’ organisation that seeks to represent the views of the fans to the Club and help promote communication from the club to the fans. All Trusts are formally-constituted legal bodies – see our Governance page for more details.

Affiliate member of the Football Supporters’ Association

The FSA is the national, democratic, representative body for football supporters in England and Wales. Formed out of the merger of Supporters Direct (established by government in 2000) and the Football Supporters’ Federation, they are an inclusive, independent, democratic organisation working with supporters, governing bodies, leagues and clubs to drive positive change in football through supporter engagement at every level of the game.

They’re responsible for making sure that fans have the resources and information required to establish Trusts. They negotiate with the clubs, lobby the authorities and generally support the Trust movement. You can read more about the FSA’s role and achievements at their website.
