Having heard that some Rotherham fans were causing trouble after the match on Saturday, I didn't see anything, which do you think have been the worst behaved fans to come to Brisbane Road?

A few years ago we played Millwall and after the match - which they won - a large group went up Leyton High Road and asserted their pedestrian rights very well in that they walked down the middle of the road and when some guy in a car was stupid enough to honk at them they proceeded to smash his car up. I thought it was kind of funny but I don't condone that kind of behaviour. Some of them were about 70 years old as well.

Well when i came out of the South Stand on Saturday I passed by where the Rotherham away coaches where parked on Brisbane Road and a few Rotherham fans where giving it large to the Police and passing Orient fans it was more vocal than anything though

As a kid I used to go in the East Stand with my Dad it was the lower standing terrace back in the day and I use to worry when the likes of Stoke Cardiff or Birmingham came to visit as they would have the seats above us as well as the old South Stand terrace and hurl any objects they could find at the Orient fans below

Worse I have seen personally was at Fratton Park when Pompey beat us 2-0 in the FA Cup someone called Sicknote Anderson scoring both goals

I was on many of the Orient away fans coaches that day and I don't think 1 coach survived having there windows put through god knows what might have happened if we had won

Yep,Millwall can be bad and very intimidating but probably the one that sticks in my mind most was when,in 1974, Man u came to town.There fans started to push the crowd barriers on the terrace back and forth till the concrete broke away,then they pelted the Orient fans with the lumps,of which some were quite big.My mate got hit and we ended up in the first aid hut, where at least it was safe.
