Olympic stadium for O's

[Beefy]

Leyton Orient chairman Barry Hearn says the club would be interested in moving home to London's Olympic Stadium after the Games finish in 2012.

Orient have emerged as candidates to move into the stadium in the east of London after it is down-sized from 80,000 to a 25,000 capacity.

This has ruled out Spurs and West Ham and opened the door for Orient.

And Hearn told BBC Sport: "If a deal comes up which is acceptable to all parties, we would consider it."

They could do with moving somewhere.... when we went there it was a total and utter shambles.

Bees sold out their allocation, but Orient for some reason known only to themselves decided to leave the seating as 'sit where you want'. Madness, then the all too few stewards who were there just left people to get on with it.

They were also selling more tickets on the gate, despite it being 'sold out' according to them and BFC.

Last but by no means least the flight of steps down the main exit and the stupidly narrow corridor down which more or less the whole half of that stand has to use is nothing short of a death trap. God alone knows how that passes any sort of fire inspection.

Oh yeah, and there seems to be only 1 pub within about 5 miles of the place.
