Last time I went to Chesterfield they played at Saltergate and we got pelted with coins, I made enough for a coffee on the way home😁

Camp Coffee is not real coffee, think it comes from chicory.

Could have been worse.
Winnable game, but would take a draw

He and Webb did not part on particularly good terms.

A bunch of thugs- when I went up there 20 odd years ago, my Millwall supporting mate warned me that they were a bunch of thugs he was right.

When I was there it was the coin throwing malarkey. Thrown edge on with a good deal of force & could do a lot of damage if you got one in the mush. The Ole Bill up there not all bothered. Seems that their spire is not the only thing that is crooked in Chesterfield. Around the same time there was a lot of scandal about illegal payments too.

That's my overriding memory too, horrible place to go 20 years ago.

And, in the 1930s, which team had the first recorded dart-throwing incident?

I suddenly remember, I still bear the scars ( mental ) of this away day, in the early 2000's. My stepson & I were about 30 minutes away from leaving for Chesterfield. Our foster daughter was finishing her bath. The plumber doing our new bathroom, had failed to connect the overflow connecting pipe and it was dangling down loose. When she emptied the bath, 30% of the bath's content poured on to the ceiling of our front room. Chaos followed. We could only do a minimum of clearing up. Leaving the bulk, to my moaning ex-wife.
We just made kick off in time, witnessed a 4-1 drubbing and got showered by coins. It leaves a nasty taste even now. If any of our players or people who know our players, read this Board, it is imperative that this Black Hole of the Club's history is avenged. I am just plain too old to sit out in the cold, to see karma being dished out in buckets. I plea to all the staff at Orient & all fans who go. Do the business, send this sh-t show of a football club out of the FA Cup. I will be there in spirit.
