Daggers Posted 20 September 2008 Share Posted 20 September 2008 I blame Danny Baker. If this is an aside directed at me then I need to point out once more that I DO NOT LOOK LIKE DANNY BAKER! I have more hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted 20 September 2008 Share Posted 20 September 2008 No, Glasgow. He could have been abit slow on the case and have been talking about last week. After the game, with Millwall, Trouble. He could have ment Leicester. I do now notice he says "Afters from last week perhaps?" but still I have half an case, excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lildave3 Posted 20 September 2008 Share Posted 20 September 2008 Apparently there was some sort of scuffle near where we were after the game. So SUAS tells me anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a bit of friendly sarcasm Matt, if there's such thing. You don't have to explain it to me I don't actually think you're stupid or anything.

Teeno Posted 21 September 2008 Share Posted 21 September 2008 I heard that they were planning this yesterday, aparantly the police were all over them last week and stopped their thugs from having a go. So a lot of them thought they would do the business at Orient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fosse Boy Posted 21 September 2008 Share Posted 21 September 2008 Guessing these were the same people with the police escort down Leyton High Road and also the same people who were escorted on to the six thirty train from St. Pancras? Oh, and the City of London itself is the one square mile where the original city sprang from, whereas Greater London also contains the city of Westminster as well as all the other towns, villages and suburbs that London has annexed over time...

Floating Fox Posted 21 September 2008 Share Posted 21 September 2008 There was a scuffle in Leyton, don't know whos fans they were getting involved with ours. Just a few bottles being thrown I think. Pub ladylady wasn't too impressed to say the least Leicester lot all got off in a mini-bus. I know the Met plod stopped a lot of the well known Millwall "firm" from travelling to last weeks game, and I heard that they'd re-arranged something for yesterday...Don't know if that was it though?! The ones in the police escort were our fans as well, as they were gathered by police outside the away end...I was actually surprised, not many plod around to be fair. Although I guess most of them would have been down the road in East London watching the geordies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without being rude but don't flatter yourselves chaps. Whatever you have all heard regarding Millwall trying to get at Leicester is a load of tosh. There was a huge turnout of Millwall up at Leicester but as always Police were on top and Leicester didn't seem game...for that sort of thing. That's the end of it. If a firm of Millwall were to be bothered going to meet Leicester it would be just as easy to have it up the road with the scum in claret and blue.

Tolkny Posted 22 September 2008 Share Posted 22 September 2008 As far as I'm aware London itself is a city, but then there's Greater London which takes in all the boroughs which is a different matter altogether An O's supporter who signed up to clarify where "the City" is. When a Londoner (someone from in or around "the City" including some who do or did live in Greater London{roughly the area within the M25} says "the City" they mean strictly the square mile bit that streches roughly from The Tower of London in the South to Smithfield Meat Market in the North and from roughly Liverpool Street station in the East to Fleet Street, just beyond The Old Bailey{Central Criminal Court} in the West) So now that is clear, if there was trouble predicted between Millwall and Foxes fans that does explain the extra police which is the most I have seen around O's for years, also they seemed to expect more at the underground station for years because they had a side entrance open, the first time I have seen that for decades. Yet there were far less people going through Leyton underground station than on any weekday at rush hour - bizarre! In the ground, I could not understand why those, presumably Foxes fans went on the pitch, as it seems not worth a banning for. Perhaps it was a great surprise that Leicester should take the lead? Despite all the pressure from O's Leicester are a classer side but not well organaised in the way that Stockport were last week. I gather an ex O who refused a renewed contract last season, Gary Alexander, did for the Foxes last week. I reckon that unless Leicester get better organised a return to second div football will be a struggle this year, but thanks for giving O's crowd a boost, we need all the paying customers we can get before we turn into a housing estate!
