Known to Orient fans as Brisbane Road, the stadium has been called a few different names over the years due to sponsorships. The home of Leyton Orient opened in 1937 and has been their ground ever since. As well as hosting Leyton Orient\u2019s games, Brisbane Road has also welcomed Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s reserves side regularly, holding the final of the NextGen series during it\u2019s inaugural season in 2012.<\/p>\n

The stadium’s latest sponsor was the Breyer Group, the company started by lifelong O’s fan, Fred Breyer. Before that it was officially named the Leyton Stadium and at one point it was also known as Osborne Road, but to Leyton Orient supporters it will only ever be called Brisbane Road after the street it runs alongside of.<\/p>\n

Brisbane Road Seating Plan and Where to Sit<\/h2>\r\n \r\n
<\/div>\r\n \r\n
From Leyton Orient FC<\/div>\r\n \r\n \r\n

Brisbane Road is built in a typical \u2018English Style\u2019 with stands on each side of the pitch. The Family Stand is is located behind the Northern goal, whilst The Tommy Johnston Stand is directly opposite it and is named after the club\u2019s record goalscorer. The East Stand houses both home an away supporters and The Main Stand has a single tier of seating beneath a large office-type section, and was recently renamed the Justin Edinburgh stand after their manager who suddenly died in 2019.<\/p>\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n \r\n
