Doug Harper / Chair
Year and Place of Birth: 1962, Barkingside
Place of Residence: Plumstead
Occupation: Musician
Orient fan since: 1968
Why do you want to be involved with LOFT? "I believe that fans are entitled to a voice within their club and the club deserves to hear that voice, in a joint effort (if possible) to improve the relationship with the club and its community"

Adam Michaelson / Legal
Year and Place of Birth: 1971, Enfield
Place of Residence: Southgate
Occupation: Barrister
Orient fan since: 1977
Why do you want to be involved with LOFT? "I get sick of fans' interests being ridden roughshod over and in particular, I am not prepared to accept the notion that as a club and a community institution we will be forgotten about because there is not enough money/are not enough votes in it."

Tom Davies / Media Liaison
Year and Place of Birth: 1970, Wanstead
Place of Residence: Walthamstow
Occupation: Freelance Journalist
Orient fan since: 1977
Why do you want to be involved with LOFT? "Because I think football supporters have been taken for granted for too long by those that own, manage and even write about football clubs. There's an enormous amount of enthusiasm, intelligence and dedication on the terraces and in the stands that should be better utilised by the club. Fans deserve more of a say in the way the game in general, and Leyton Orient in particular, is run. And I'd like to see Orient one day become a properly successful, community-based football club. We can all dream..."

Mark Dunn / Membership Secretary
Year and Place of Birth: 1965, North Shields
Place of Residence: Newbury Park
Occupation: Data analyst/Social Researcher
Orient fan since: 2006
Why do you want to be involved with LOFT? "I am tired of football supporters being treated simply as punters. Fans are the heart and soul of the game and need to have a voice in its governance. LOFT offers a great opportunity for supporters to get involved and hold our club to account and hopefully influence its decisions for the better."

Paul Arnup / No formal position
Year and Place of Birth: 1961, Hackney
Place of Residence: Ashford, Kent
Occupation: Communications Manager at a leading IT company
Orient fan since: 1970
Why do you want to be involved with LOFT? "The true meaning of the word 'Club' has been steadily eroded over the years.
Football clubs, not just Leyton Orient, are increasingly alienating
themselves from the very people who are their lifeblood. LOFT can hopefully
try to reverse that trend."
