Nelly Terraces Posted May 13, 2014 Share Posted May 13, 2014 Not that I've heard but when I was down watching them a few weeks back they were saying they'd absolutely love a friendly with Hearts but knew other things were more important. It'd be superb if it could be arranged though, I'd be chuffed to bits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poultry Posted May 14, 2014 Share Posted May 14, 2014 they are the only team that comes close to our sacrifice in WW1 Bought a pin badge on e-bay Hearts and Leyton somme memorial. found this on the internet. (cut and paste hope it works) FOOTBALL fans who helped finance a memorial in France honouring players who fought in World War One have been thanked with their own plaque at Leyton Orient FC's ground. More than ?15,000 was raised by supporters for the granite monument near the Somme battlefield, which was erected this summer to mark the sacrifices made by players, staff and fans of Clapton Orient - as the O's were known up until the 1940s. By way of thanks a 'roll of honour' has now been installed at the supporters club naming all those who contributed a set amount to the fund. It was unveiled in a ceremony attended by dignitaries including Leyton Orient chief executive Matt Porter, members of the Royal British Legion and mayor of Waltham Forest Cllr Geofff Walker. Steve Jenkins, deputy chairman of Leyton Orient Supporters Club, was also awarded an enlarged version of the O?s Somme badge and an engraved plinth in recognition of his tireless fund-raising and research work for the project. He said afterwards: ?The O?s Somme Memorial Committee wishes to thank everyone who has supported not only the Roll of Honour, but also the entire project and the fact the memorial now proudly stands on the Somme only goes to show how many people have taken the O?s Memorial to their hearts.?

Good range of beers and ciders perfect for chilling out before the trek home. It's THE best around mate! 3 quid a pint and a massive selection of ales, it's even used for beer festivals & all sorts. The sorta thing we should have at Tynie, let the support run it like they do at the Os. Absolutely gutted I can't make the play off final, runnin the Edinburgh mara that day, was at both finals at Wembley & Millennium stadiums few years back when I was living down there. Fingers crossed for the Reds! PS, sorry Leyland Jambo, even tho Mrs Terraces is from your very town and I have a soft spot for them, I hope PNE aren't the side going up this year mate.

Next time your down this way give me a shout we could maybe have a couple of jars. Yeah mate, it was complete coincidence we were down that weekend when Sir Tom passed away, it wa a pretty emotional day, been there many times and know what he means to that town. Mrs T's mum lives in Preston, and her brother lives in Leyland, been there a few times down the years, few parties in the RAF club haha! Will shout you the next time I'm down there fella! To Everyone For interest: Steve Jenkins (who has been instrumental in getting the Memorial for the O's lads who fought in the war) has updated his book 'They Took The Lead' which is kinda similar to Jack Alexanders about McCraes Battalion, spoke to Steve when I was down the O's last month, he's put in a chapter about McCraes and Hearts in the version. Coupla linkys here, 1st one regards the memorial the Os have at Flers in France, the 2nd about the new versh of Steve's book. http://www.leytonori...ne-1509228.aspx http://www.guardian-...d_at_the_Somme/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its probably quite peaceful these days though. We used to have a few pints near Walthamsow Central tube and then hoof it down from there to Brisbane Rd.
