Doug Harper

Chair

“I believe that fans are entitled to a voice within their club and the club deserves to hear that voice, in a joint effort (if possible) to improve the relationship with the club and its community.”

Tom Davies

Vice-Chair and Media Liaison

“I think football supporters have been taken for granted for too long by those that own, manage and even write about football clubs. There’s an enormous amount of enthusiasm, intelligence and dedication on the terraces and in the stands that should be better utilised by the club. Fans deserve more of a say in the way the game in general, and Leyton Orient in particular, is run. And I’d like to see Orient one day become a properly successful, community-based football club. We can all dream…”

Jonathan Kaye

Secretary and Webmaster

“I believe we can make a difference in an independent organisation that speaks up for all Leyton Orient fans. Every club should have a Supporters’ Trust, not just those fighting for their survival.”

Peter Osborne

Treasurer

“I think we can make a difference and contribute to the future of the club.”

Paul Arnup

Membership

“The true meaning of the word ‘Club’ has been steadily eroded over the years. Football clubs, not just Leyton Orient, are increasingly alienating themselves from the very people who are their lifeblood. LOFT can hopefully try to reverse that trend.”

Adam Michaelson

Legal

“I get sick of fans’ interests being ridden roughshod over and in particular, I am not prepared to accept the notion that as a club and a community institution we will be forgotten about because there is not enough money/are not enough votes in it.”

Geoff Moody

“As a devoted fan the club’s security for me is paramount. I see LOFT as the safety net for supporters to have a say in the affairs of the club on behalf of its stakeholders (The Fans), who will always remain no matter how the club is run or what happens to it.”

Ollie Middleton

“I feel strongly that LOFT still has a critical role to play, both as a backstop should the worst happen and the club find itself in a precarious financial position once again, and to provide a crucial link between fans and the football club. After all, football without fans is nothing.”

James Roper

“I have been a Leyton Orient fan since the tender age of 18 months, with a total of 5 generations of family supporting the club. I’m the son of Matthew Roper, so it’s a great privilege to work as a father/son combination for the LOFT Board. I believe I can help to support LOFT to bring about meaningful change that is necessary for our club’s long term security – this is especially important as we develop into a more prestigious and substantially larger club in the higher leagues. My aspiration is for LOFT to support the club in reaching the big time…. the Premier League – I believe we have the capacity to do so!”

Mat Roper

Recruitment

“Fans are the lifeblood of any club & with ever growing problems in the game I want a Leyton Orient for future family generations to support.”
