Ahead of the fixture, take a look at everything you need to know.
Where is Leyton Orient?
The Gaughan Group Stadium Stadium is located at:
Leyton Orient Football Club,
Brisbane Road,
Leyton, London,
E10 5NF
Where will the County fans be during the game?
Visiting away fans are housed in the southern part of the Rhino Bet East Stand, accessible through Entrance D on a match day. There is capacity for just over 1,500 away supporters, including wheelchair-using fans and includes toilet and refreshment facilities.
The East Stand is the oldest still in use at the stadium and first opened in 1956 following the Club’s promotion to Division Two. Formerly home to the dressing rooms and club offices prior to the construction of the Justin Edinburgh Stand, you can get a sense of real history from sitting in this stand. Today it is also home to Leyton Orient Trust’s ‘Fans for Diversity’ hub, a former players lounge which caters for community groups on a match day.
