Saw O's fans on the tv coverage getting rightly upset, what actually happened?

Heard a Solihull fan was getting kicked out for having a flare and lobbed it into our supporters. f*cking idiot if true and could have ended worse.

The old guy being thrown out wasn't the actual guy who had and threw the flare.
Landed on our row about 6 seats away and yes it was stupidly thrown back at some some speed too.
Tbh, it was a bit niggly all game with their stewards, all of which would have been avoided if they had given us the whole of the terracing behind the goal and the small uncovered seating section as they did last year.
Really hope Harrogate or Fylde go up via the playoffs.

Hello, Moors fan here. Very annoyed about the prat with the flare - safe to say this was not a regular attendee. With abnormally big crowds comes the odd unwanted visitor, alas.
I hope and trust no one among your number was hurt.
As for the game, absorbing if niggly fare and hard to argue the result was not a fair reflection of play. Couple of glorious chances for us late on but given the GD deficit it was always a long shot, and the fact we've now sealed top 3 is some consolation.
Looks like you've just about done enough barring any silliness on Saturday, so (slightly premature) congrats and good luck in L2.

I heard it was Disoriented trying to get the game abandoned so he can whinge that our midfield weren’t good enough to win the game or league, but it backfired as the man with the iron hand lobbed it back at him!

Stewarding and policing waa ridiculous. Add this to the poor ground, general home atmosphere, location, facilities, lack ot running water and lack of soft drinks and it has to go down as the worst away ground I've ever been to. I can't think of any worse to be honest.

Ditto all of the above.

The flare thrower was sitting a few feet away from me,
There was banter between his friend & other Os fans
The usual,
He was warned by the stewards,
Anyway the banter started up again & his buddy just lobbed it over, nothing malicious, he thought it was funny,
I can guarantee as he brought it, he needed a reason to set it off.
