Leyton Orient fans storm the field at Brisbane Road as match against Colchester is stopped
LEYTON ORIENT'S final home match of the season was stopped by a pitch invasion as angry fans protested against their owner Francesco Becchetti.
Supporters vented their anger in the 85th minute, forcing play during their home game against Colchester to be stopped.
The O's were relegated from the Football League for the first time in 112 years earlier this month.
Fans reportedly chanted: "Orient is ours! F*** off Bechetti! Orient is ours!"
Orient were losing 3-1 to Colchester before the fans took to the field.
Officials tried to calm fans and remove them off the pitch but their efforts failed.
