Maybe but still find it very surprising that ‘ Wall fans got themselves locked in a pub and sat about waiting to be beaten up by a Possee ( old fans on here see what I did there …Clarevoyant I’m looking at you Possee ( Millwall) )
Would need to know the numbers of fans / bouncers to understand

You have to remember they were a family club and the surviving abled bodied were defending grandma/grandad/kids/toddlers and the family dog

I bet you remember our meeting with Millwall for the 2-2 draw in October 75 don't you Andy? The Millwall fans all left the Cross Street end a few minutes before the final whistle and we thought they were probably leaving early to make sure they caught their train back to London. We were wrong and as we were exiting the kop end onto Saltergate they had come down Compton Street and St. Margarets Drive and caught us in a pincer movement and it was mayhem. My abiding memory of it all was seeing a little lad who must have only been around 8 or 9 years old sitting on the little wall behind the corner sandwich shop bleeding profusely from his nostrils and a gash over one of his eyes. His dad was trying to tend to him when one of the Millwall lot took a running kung fu type kick into the bottom of the dads back. I will always remember what that animal looked like and what he was wearing. It was a black and white 10 pin bowling shirt with "F Troop" embroided across the back.
I had parked my car on the doughnut that day and as I tried to make my way down Saltergate to it there were running battles all the way down. I then saw the same youth in the bowling shirt kicking 7 bells out of a town fan in front of the Haslam and Harvey statues outside the mineworkers offices. From what I remember the police didn't seem to want to get too involved in sorting it out. I was so pleased when I got home that day.
Gonna live while I'm alive I'll sleep when I'm dead

I suddenly remember, I still bear the scars ( mental) of this away day, in the early 2000's. My stepson & I were about 30 minutes away from leaving for Chesterfield. Our foster daughter was finishing her bath. The plumber doing our new bathroom, had failed to connect the overflow connecting pipe and it was dangling down loose. When she emptied the bath, 30% of the bath's content poured on to the ceiling of our front room. Chaos followed. We could only do a minimum of clearing up. Leaving the bulk, to my moaning ex-wife.
We just made kick off in time, witnessed a 4-1 drubbing and got showered by coins. It leaves a nasty taste even now. If any of our players or people who know our players, read this Board, it is imperative that this Black Hole of the Club's history is avenged. I am just plain too old to sit out in the cold, to see karma being dished out in buckets. I plea to all the staff at Orient & all fans who go. Do the business, send this sh-t show of a football club out of the FA Cup. I will be there in spirit.
