Those days out at Orient are amongst my best and worse memories of the war years. Taking up at least a third of the ground every time was fun. I have a soft spot for Orient that I could not have imagined back then when you were a Palace Lite club to the Albion
Dean Wilkins being sent off for swearing at a linesman, probably his most passionate moment in an Albion shirt
Someone in the crowd being asked to move because his shirt clashed with the Linos flag.(not 100% sure on that one but pretty certain it was at Orient)

Thought this happened at the Goldstone as well. Someone in the south end of the East had a coat the same as the flag. Jogs a memory somewhere deep in my banks.
It was a steward at the Goldstone.

Morning Twatty, I see you finished your paper round early this morning
And CR means great to hear from you. (I do a bit of interpreting these days as part of my charity work)

I remember those days well! Brilliant memories, well apart from some Albion threatening my 8 year old! Weve suffered a lot since but I think now is our time. We are on the up. Im not sure I would want my team in the prem though. That may sound odd but theres a trade off. I think prem clubs can lose their soul to get there and stay there. Its probably not something I am ever going to have to worry too much about!

It still makes me smile when I remember setting up this account as WATFORD 0 many years ago, and you were whining to all the mods that someone had hacked your account

Aren't we all. It was 20 years ago
20 years ago I was older & calmer. Ok, at least calmer.

Definitely not. Cannot be 100% certain it was at Orient but it made the tv in the sports news at the time. I don’t think the fan went willingly which didn’t help
The other thing I remember clearly was the Orient striker Richardson scoring (may have been a hatrick) and cupping his ear whilst running the full length of the pitch in front of the Albion fans who had taken up one side of the ground.
Made me laugh, although it shouldn’t have
At the time just about every taxi I took in London seemed to be driven by an Orient fan
Bueno (?) and his hilarious playlist - YMCA etc. Now he was a bitter ****

Thanks and welcome back to 'I am so don' Watford O.
Orient away was always memorable.
Unsanitised, authentic football fan experiences of a different time that left their mark.
