Er, we DO have a Supporters Club.
May not be everyone's kind of organisation, as it's a bit woolly hats and quizzes on the coach, but there is one. Always has been. And there are others, like the A21 Club, and so on. Not quite sure what you mean?
Amazed that's still going - remember playing it nearly two years ago. It's fun for a fortnight but then you get bored.
The trick is to go online the minute your dividends get paid (it's like midnight on a Thursday or something) and reinvest them immediately in the share of the moment. By the...
Until a couple of years ago I'd've said Sunderland, but then I worked with a Sunderland fan. He and I had a barney about football once, he dismissed us as a small time club that he didn't care about, and didn't see why anyone cared about anything outside the Premiership (this was before...
Well I live in Hanwell, about five minutes from the storage centre where they found the explosives. Until six months ago I lived literally round the corner from it, and a couple of years ago used it to store all my stuff while I went sailing for 3 months. Scary when it's somewhere you know and...
But don't foget that the team in 7th have also got two games in hand on the O's , plus a goal difference that's 20 better. Which makes that gap even, er, um, wider...
Time for another chorus of 'playoffs here we come' Twatty? You've gone very quiet...
Seeing as this thread descended into abuse and bad language, I thought it was time to resurrect it and get it back to what we were originally talking about.
Namely, the mighty O's promotion charge!!!
Let's see, that was a draw for the championship-bound Os on Saturday, meaning that since...
I know he was generally crap, but that's a harsh call on someone who once scored 4 goals in a league game against Newcastle for us. Is he really one of our 2 worst ever strikers?
That's Beth Gibbons.
I'd add (links provide audio samples):
Mary Margaret o'Hara. Miss America - one stunning album, then nothing.

Most Chinese food is pretty poor - bland, rubbery chicken packed out with waterchesnuts and other fillers, submerged in MSG, yeuch.
A halfway-decent Thai or Indian is streets ahead of Chinese.
That's said, I'm still impressed that our local, Happiness Garden, has some device on their phone...
Called in for a afternoon and night in Sept 2001 when sailing a yacht from Cork to Southampton. Seemed very nice - warm, beaches, couple of nice pubs. Not exactly rockin', but pleasant. Hard to believe you're in the UK. The sea round there is littered with hundreds of little islands and rocky...
I reckon somewhere around 18,000 to 20,000.
In 91 it was:
- the first division playoff, not the second
- at Wembley, not Cardiff
- in the era when home crowds were around 14,000, and the turn-up-on-the-day ethos of casual supporting was the norm. Our exile at Gillingham, the low capacity of...
