        I was at that original Fans United game and dragged along a few members of The World Famous 1927 Club to represent, hanging our flag on the home terrace.

        The following season a group of us including 50 year olds and women were being chased around Gillingham by a bunch of Brighton cunts intent on kicking our heads in after a game where Attila the fucking Stockbroker gave us some "amusing" "banter" about the Welsh over the tannoy.

        I also wanted Hereford United to stay up in that final match of the 96/97 season.

        So, you know, swings and roundabouts.

          That sort of thing is why I hate Doncaster Rovers.

            Blimey. An article I'd completely forgotten I'd written gets quoted in that piece.

            Anyway, yeah, that Fans United was a terrific – and massively important – day. Expanded the horizons of what fan protests could do. Many now are metaphorically standing on its shoulders.

                      E10 is doing his bit, as is the Fans Trust, but it's taken a long while for the majority of Orient fans to see Becchetti is a toxic fool rather than a benevolent rich bloke sent from heaven to take us to the promised lands.

                        Yeah, about to read that on way home!

                        Hope you can mobilise troops soon.

                          A couple of things confuse me about this. Firstly, why on earth would Ray not like the Fans United initiative. Obviously, he has explained why that view is erroneous but I do wonder what gave you that impression in the first place.

                          Also, having just turned 50, I am bemused that we are now in the "women and children first' camp. I expect many still quite active hooligans are also in their 50s, if not 60s, by now. Not that that is anything to be proud about.

                            Because when I started the thread Ray was arguing somewhere else that Wales at Euro 2016 was greatest story ever. I was not being totally serious.

                              Aha, I see.

                              He is correct, of course.
