The Leyton Orient message boards make fun reading, apparent we are a scumbag club :lol:

Apparently they were showered in coins, darts and large sofas back in 2000. I think the guy was joking about the large sofas but given their brain cell quota I may be wrong.

Wasn’t Barrie Hearn their chairman back then

Remember that game and things did get a bit silly although think they played a part in it all. Was around the time we had a run of homes where there was quite bad trouble with Cardiff, them and Hull i think it was. Cardiff was very chaotic but the other two it was mainly stuff between fans in the ground when town fans were down the end of Compton Street next to the away fans.

I think after 23 years it’s time for them to move on..

You know what those londoners like to believe about us Derbyshire folk!!!

However there could be the 'odd' example now living down there that could give a bit of credence to part of that saying!!

Remember the game well. Very unpleasant atmosphere with Spireites giving as good as they got.
Also I remember many Spireites looking on with a mixture of incredulity and amazement when a certain Darren Brown appeared not only in the pub pre match but also on the terraces.

Millwall fans got locked in the Gardeners and every bouncer from north Derbyshire piled in to give them a battering.

They, or at least their board/owner was pretty vocal about wanting us more severely punished that season, not least as they were fighting for a play-off place. Little wonder their older fans don't like us; I couldn't care less.

Remember that game well for many reasons!

Also remember being in the pub when Brown walked in surrounded by some Town lads licking his ass.
Barry Hearn stirred it up - backed massively by that callous old b***ch aka te Hoey who wanted us kicked out of football so much.

Both sides had idiots throwing stuff (like real men do) at each other.
Can’t remember the score

Barry Hearn probably was one of the the most vocal along with that crook from York City, Douglas Craig

Loved the irony that Craig eventually did more long term damage to York than Brown did to us

To be fair if any club was as dodgy as we were back then and visited it would have been the same abuse given

Difference being Brown eventually got locked up for defrauding the club, whereas the many other shysters around the league didn’t. We did well to survive him mainly down to the efforts of the fan base

Sadly not been able to replace the sofa since I threw it at Cardiff fans.
