What is it about East London clubs, as they're another formerly well run stable club, ruined by dodgy foreign owners. From being an aspirational L1 team aiming for promotion, they're now mid table in L2 and have sacked another manager.

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.
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 sat
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 Valley
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.
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!
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.
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
That season we played Spurs in the cup, with Peacock as manager.
The Fulham cup match was under Powell.
