And however bad RD and KM might get, at least they'd never kick one of the coaching staff on the pitch!

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Leyton Orient, and it's a terrible shame to see them in such disarray and a predicament somewhat similar to ours.
I can't blame Hearn for selling Orient when he did. He stuck with them during a long stint in the forth tier and reaped the rewards from a slow but steady progression. He did everything in his power to stop West Ham (or Spurs for that matter) moving in just down the road, but when the inevitable happened, he knew that his asset was under threat from a larger competitor and did what any sensible businessman would do.
I'd like to think that stories such as Orients, Leeds & ours would encourage the FA to do something about the influx of majority shareholder ownership of English football clubs. However while the Premier League is awash with wealthy individuals flooding it with money and attracting some of the worlds greatest players, making it a brand that's envied by football associations all over the world, smaller clubs will continue to find themselves in these predicaments.7 -
Leyton Orient president Francesco Becchetti has been given a six-match stadium ban and fined £40,000 by the Football Association for aiming a kick at assistant boss Andy Hessenthaler, who he now names as caretaker manager.1

Kevin Nolan 1/10 to be new manager1

I have had the chance to meet up with some of the Orient players around Xmas for the last few years. Four years ago when they ad a few ex-addicts including Mr Lisbie, there was nothing but praise for Charlton and what a great club it was to work for. This Christmas just gone when Charlton was mentioned, the players looked down at their feet, sucked their teeth and changed the subject.1

Funny a few days ago I watched our live match at orient a few years back
To cheer myself up
It poured with rain we went down to 10 men had parky in charge but we had pride and passion and went on to win
Also great clip of me in my fads away shirt when we scored the second
And waggy was mom I think
Those we the days
Can we have them back please
Same season we took over 7000 for the fa cup game at Fulham I think
So sad thinking about our current state
In real terms I bet we don't get 7000 ACTUAL fans in the valley on sat1 -
I think Fulham was with Powell as manager in the promotion season. And Orient away was New Year's Eve at 6 or something, lost 1-0.
We won at Orient in our first L1 season, and I think a midfielder was sent off (Spring?). Solly came on as a late sub at left midfield and scored a goal. Don't remember that match being on TV, but I was there anyway.
Can't remember our second season in L1, but think Orient beat us at the Valley0 -
i remember the new years eve game we were going so well so me and a few mates i went with thought weve got a chance of making money so i think we all put a score each on charlton and would use the winnings as whip money for the night, cue hamer getting sent off1

Away we won in the first and second seasons but lost in the third.
In terms of TV. Both Orient wins were shown and our second season away game described above was also featured.0 -

First win....Dailly was sent off in the first one(?), Burton scored with a lob and we won 2-1(?) Who else scored?
Second win 3-1....McCormack scored with a header to our left, Wagstaff scored to our right and Solly scored to our right(?)
I can remember what happened in 1983 but not what happened at Orient under Parkinson!0 -
Wasn't the New Year's Eve televised O's game when Hamer was sent off early on? But, yeah, we lost 1-0.0

I was in Amsterdam with my girlfriend, she'd found a somewhere to welcome the New Year in and figured we should get there early to make sure we could get in..palarsehater said:i remember the new years eve game we were going so well so me and a few mates i went with thought weve got a chance of making money so i think we all put a score each on charlton and would use the winnings as whip money for the night, cue hamer getting sent off
I used every ounce of charm to convince her to head back to the hotel; that way we could "save money" and have some pre-drinks. I think she was in the loo when I popped the TV on "as background noise"; I'm not the best actor in the world and I don't think my "Oh look sweet, the Charlton match is on!" was very convincing.
She wasn't happy, and then when her favourite player - Hamer - got sent off I wasn't happy either.
Then later on we found out the pub she'd picked out was too busy... apparently "I'm sure he wasn't over the line, red still seems really harsh." wasn't the best thing to say at that moment.
Fortunately we found another couple that night, and she welcomed in the New Year having a good ol' moan to some random American woman whilst I was having a drinking contest with her husband.
2012 didn't start so great.1 -
Deff parky 2nd game of the season
And both waggy and solly scored
And the other thing I remember is the kiosks didn't serve chips!! But did do a nice pizza

It was a Friday night and we went top of the league0

I got mixed up. I was talking about 2nd season in League 1. Dailly sending off, 3-1 win.
That season we played Spurs in the cup, with Peacock as manager.
The Fulham cup match was under Powell.0 -
I remember the first time we played them in L1, as Burton did his Usain Bolt arrow goal celebration!1

I don't look at too many other teams blogs, but this O's one always raises a chuckle,
