Brisbane Road

Brisbane Road, currently known as the BetWright Stadium for sponsorship reasons and originally known as Osborne Road, is a football stadium in Leyton, East London, England. It has been the home ground of Leyton Orient since 1937, before which it was the home of amateur football team Leyton, who moved to the Hare and Hounds ground. Since 2022 it has also been home to Tottenham Hotspur Women.

History
The stadium has seen several developments in its history, but due to the Second World War the first major improvement was the levelling of a grass bank and crash barrier installation in 1949. The terracing behind the goals was improved again in 1952, 1959 and 1960. In 1956 a small seated stand was dismantled and replaced with a stand from the decrepit Mitcham Stadium, which held 2,600 fans. In 1962, with Leyton Orient gaining promotion to the First Division, another wing was added to the Main Stand, raising the seating capacity to 3,500. In 1978 the West Stand was converted into all-seating. In 1996 the terracing at the southern end of the ground was demolished and used as a car park while National Lottery funding to build a stand was unsuccessfully sought. The South Stand was eventually built in 1999, and was renamed The Tommy Johnston Stand on 5 September 2008. ==Stands==
Stands
Justin Edinburgh Stand Capacity: 2,918 The Justin Edinburgh Stand is the new main stand The East Stand, which at the time included the club's offices and dressing rooms, then remained largely unaltered until 1999, when the narrow section of terracing at the front of the structure was made all-seater. Today the stand is used by both home and away supporters; when an away team is allocated the entire stand for safety or other reasons, Orient fans in the north half of the stand are required to move elsewhere to accommodate the extra away fans. The capacity of the Northern end of this stand is 2,133 and the Southern end is 1,459. There are also executive seats in the middle of the stand (the old directors' box, now known as the Wyvern Suite) but these are not ordinarily used by any supporters. • East Stand North: 2,133 with 15 disabled supporters and their helpers • East Stand South (away): 1,459 with seven disabled supporters and their helpers The Incite Consulting Community North Stand Capacity: 1,381 The North Stand was completed for the start of the 2007–08 season and is currently used as a family stand. It replaces a former open terrace, has a capacity of 1,351 with provision for 15 disabled supporters and their helpers, and like the Main Stand has the letters LOFC spelled out in black seats. Access to this stand is by turnstiles at each end of the stand and there are two refreshment outlets located underneath the stand. The stand was sponsored by the CEO of Baskin Robbins, Nigel Travis, between 2012 and 2019. Travis, a lifelong Orient fan, purchased the club itself in 2017. Since the beginning of the 2019/20 season the stand has been sponsored by Incite Consulting, a technology recruitment consultancy and executive search firm. Tommy Johnston South Stand Capacity: 1,336 This stand was built in 1999 and was formerly called the South Stand. It was renamed the Tommy Johnston Stand in 2008 in memory of Leyton Orient's record goalscorer Tommy Johnston, but is now known as the Tommy Johnston South Stand. It is currently for home supporters only and has a capacity of 1,336. It has a refreshment outlet and a bar underneath the stand and is accessed through turnstiles from Buckingham Road. It has the word ORIENT marked into the seats in white. A large block of flats backs on to the stand. ==Internationals==
