I have match programs from Leyton Orient from the early 70's, I think my brother went there. Small square things about 8 pages long, very quirky as match programmes go.
I always think of that lunatic manager they once had when i think of Orient :^0
I was there at the opening game of last season. Watching the beginning of our demise.
...AND BRING YOUR DINNER, COS WHEN I'VE FINISHED WITH YOU YOU'RE GOING TO NEED IT...

there is a red button function during this game for anyone interested, takes you to a Cliff Thorburn snooker match repeat
That's VERY early 70's and from about 68, oval.
The Lunatic manager would have been John Sitton, coach.
An O through and through, he played there for years. Then he did that documentary on channel 4, where he called the players cnuts.
Barry Hearn took over, and not only sacked him but banned him from the ground.
I met Mr Hearn at a golf tourney I was working at a few years ago, and was fully prepared to hate him. I spoke to him for a while, he was actually a nice bloke.
I'm having a bit of the 9.2 ish, treble. See if we can emulate our cup performance of a couple of years ago

I like Barry Hearn. As a masive darts fan, he is godlike in what he has done for the sport.
I was born in '68 and grew up in the 70's and have vivid memories of teams of that period. Orient always stuck in my head.
Thinking back I can't understand how the programmes came into my possession as I don't think my brothers were in London at that time. The programmes are in my loft, I'll have to scan them at some stage.

I used to sit in the east stand in block D, but I dont often go now as saturday conflicts with the betting on the afternoon football. :(
I went to my 1st match in 69, with my grandad. I was 8. I didn't miss more than 1 at home in the next 10 years.
I'm going to sleep now, try and relive some of the best bits of my childhood :)

make u right on that treble, when i go i sit in the north upper, h blook, not sure to go or not 2moro
Was always in the north as a kid.
My greatest memory of the north is southend being 3-0 up at halftime and us coming back to win 4-3 with a winner from Pardew. Magic.
The Valley's seen some great times. A lot more than most clubs. Lisbie's hat trick against Liverpool always sticks in my mind.

A certain afternoon in 1998 was the the closest thing to heaven on earth for me.
