Proposed stadium site will help Orient grow - Gandler

Gandler says the new stadium site will enable Leyton Orient to grow rapidly, with the multi-sport campus project costing billions and creating thousands of jobs.

Leyton Orient majority shareholder David Gandler has confirmed the club has identified a site for a proposed new stadium in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. The large-scale project, which would see Orient leave Brisbane Road after 86 years, aims for completion by the club's 150th anniversary in 2031. Gandler told BBC Radio London the capital expenditure would be in the billions of pounds and would drive thousands of jobs in the area, positioning the club to grow quickly in an area of east London he believes will experience significant expansion.
