I've done the 92 and have been keeping it updated since then. If Forest Green come up then I will have to visit them but tthat is no hardship as that'd be a City away day anyway and i have family nearby so would make a weekend of it.

I'm sure it was a 10 hour round trip. Must have been before the motorway ! I was a teenager and I bet I was going " are we there yet ? "

Done that one for City. Only had 3 stands at the time. Did it for a neutral game too. Snapped my ACL for a 3rd time that day

Was on holiday with a couple of mates visiting another mate who lives in Istanbul. We were sitting round on the Friday night wondering what to do, then we saw Gala were playing at home and the Turkish mate is a big fan. So we went up to the ground and there was basically a bunch of of season ticket holders who were outside offering up their STs, all in a group, for face value. So we went up to the gate, paid them cash, and they swiped the tickets for us through the barriers. Good game - Emmanuel Eboue played for Gala. I think their old ground was much more intimidating - the new one looks and feels like the Emirates.

Heard that comparison from others. As much as I love a Partisan crowd I'm dreading the Euros if they get it in 2024. Russia will be a walk in the park in comparison.

Just in the pub after the Blackpool demonstration.
All kicked off here fans attacked for going in the ground effigies of the Oystons burnt in the car park planes with banners.
Fair play to the Blackpool and Orient supporters made us feel welcome about 20 city fans here with banners and wearing their colours.
If our fans would have done half of what went on here we would have been crucified.
Only down side they were very quiet outsung by the City 20.PUSB

That was an experience and shoes how to protest and put pressure on poor owners.
When they had to get police horses to stop fans breaking into main entrance was a bit scary.
March was well organised and peaceful but a little quiet. However at ground it was far from peaceful.

Wel received by both sets of fans and good to see other clubs represented.

TBF of we had some only one of those things we would have been described as the lowest of the low by our own fans.
And our owners would have called for us all to be arrested.

Sorry mate, I'm not grasping this. Was this Cov fans with effigies getting attacked or Blackpool fans or a mixture of both? And why would any Blackpool supporter stick up for Oyston?

One of the Blackpool fans told me it all kicked off when one of the oystens was seen laughing at the demo happened to be the same time as a group we're trying to get in. That was it smoke bombs barriers pulled away police horse etc etc. Two or three just managed to get in

IT was all very intense and long time since I had seen that sort of thing, what shocked me is the lack of publicity it got as thought it would be all over the papers. However, since been told that Oysten threatens the local papers he will withdraw all advertising if they put him in a bad light.

On another note they showed us how to put out a message about bad owners.
