just making it clear for our younger listeners...
I'm old but only have scant memory (t'was the year before my dad started dragging me to the Goldstone)

Yes, I quite liked Watford O. Think he came back as "I LIKE CANDLES" or something like that. Who knows he may reincarnate and pay a visit.
Same. Remember that cup game when we went there when we'd lost about 6 in a row to them? We took about 5,000 away fans and lost 4-2. I got thrown over a garden fence by a 6 foot 8 riot copper on the back of a horse. He leant over and lifted my up by my shirt and launched me at it. Think I was 16.
Also remember some Brighton fans steaming into the home end after the game only to be met with a load of
Brighton fans coming out of it.
Yes.
Don't remind me. I was celebrating our promotion in the North Stand part way through the game when a false report of a goal circulated. Transistor radios, eh?
Who was that blond twat who scored for them? Edit: Tony Richards.
Match Room thugs made us use our designated seats if I recall....

It was but you had to laugh at him running the length of the stand we were in with his hand to his ear after he’d scored a couple against us.
I also remember going there years before when Ralph Coates with his combover was playing for them.

What's Scott McGleish up to now?
Thunder Bolt
Silly old bat
He sold the club in 2014, and then resigned as life president a few years later
Hearn resigns as Leyton Orient's honorary life president
'I cannot possibly be associated with any business that doesn't pay its staff,' Hearn told Becchetti in a letter, after the club were relegated to the National League on Saturday

He was banned for racism towards a female Leeds fan on here, who'd had a tragedy in her family.

I thought that was Looney.

No, definitely Watford O and/or I like Candles.
Looney was banned for trolling.

Not sure, but corrected his name for you.
I’m loving the 40+ year wait for karma. Superb.

Seen them play most seasons since I moved to London 22 years ago. Many times with the Albion, free tickets from work, with mates watching their team from the away end and half a dozen times this year accompanying my nephews. Well done to them, but poor footy. They are not as classy as we were when promoted from the 4th tier under Mickey Adams. Lots of midfield head tennis and shirt pulling (strange watching dirty players free from Var). They are always slightly better than the opposition though.
Being a wanker I expect.

Russell Slade's managerial debut for us up there too. I can still see him coming over to our massive support before kick off, sporting a lovely two tone green suit.
Marvellous scenes!
