Tommy_Fent Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 First of all it was a great following with some fantastic costumes (and to those who asked me in the pub pre and post game it was just a new summer jacket, I hadn't gone dressed as anyone) Apologies if this has been mentioned before but did we have an official figure on how many we took down? It was very impressive considering we had nothing to play for, surely it was over 500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowl Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I don't know about inside the ground but 30 stayed in the boozer next to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Fantastic turn out, some brilliant fancy dress and non stop singing. As we were getting back in the car, we were stopped by an Orient fan to say, "You're the best set of fans we've had here this season. Thanks, you were brilliant." Says it all.

brierleys555 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 I had a great time. funny thing was if we did have something to play for where would the extra fans sit as we nearly filled the section they gave us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SholverBlue Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 We'd have taken :censored:loads if it had meant something. Was a top day out, if we get days like Bury and Orient after all the :censored: we put up with, then I say it's a fair deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcmetty Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Best bit for me was the immaculately respected minute's silence. There were some very drunk people in our end, but to a man we showed respect. That was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some very drunk people in our end, but to a man we showed respect. That was great. Wow, its bad that I was in my seat from 2.45 onwards but I do not recall the minutes silence. Remember both goals and the final whistle and the walk to the tube. Crewe, Forest, Everton, Bury and Orient ill take another 5 aways like them next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Baby give us a wave, Baby Baby give us a wave There is a video of that on facebook best chant of the day was impressed with how many young fans made the trip down also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 After a season of some very good away trips that was a very close 2nd to Forest away. Not far off 90 minutes of singing with some great variety of songs. The chant "Next year we're Champions" followed soon after by "We'll never leave League One" is the sort of humour that keeps me going. As well as "Jose Baxter's Baby."

Forte_Baby Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 My first ever visit to Orient was under Dave Penney i can remember the stewards being real arsey and all last season they where quite laid back. Being a big following i didnt know what to expect on arrival being in costume one came over and said to me and other if you want to stand up and sing we advice you to up to the top. Impressive i didnt hear any accounts of anyone moaning about being stood in front of anyone. Only complaint was the que at half time for refreshments and other stand only selling hotdogs which were nice but no burgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markspark92 Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Also a bit of eye candy on the turnstiles overall a decent trip just found the flats in each corner of the ground a bit bizzare Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 It was my 3rd visit there. The first time 2-2 under shez I can't really remember what the steards were like (so they must have been ok). The next time we lost 1-0 with a late goal and they were arsey. On Saturday they were friendly, laughed at our costume and how stewards should be.

LaticsChris Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Another one of those away games that make me happy and proud to be a Latics fan. I just can't imagine having that much fun and camaraderie as a fan of any other club. I suppose everyone thinks that about their club, but with us it's obviously true...

Monty Burns Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Shame we cant have such happy fans all the time, what with the sit down shut up brigade ruining most away games. Bell ends who buy a liverpool ticket right at the back of the RRE next to the barrier then complain about it being too boisterous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Fact is we had nothing to play for the pressure was off hence why there was very little booing or negative comments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SholverBlue Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 There was a few drunk students getting told off at Shrewsbury for being too loud. I thought football had died for a few moments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
