Power Cut Mid Football Match Video: Leyton Orient Promoted to League One Despite Losing 0-2 In Interrupted Encounter
The power cut could only delay Leyton Orient's celebrations as they already got the news of the result elsewhere and both teams just saw the game out after resumption from the power cut break in the second half.
Leyton Orient are back in England's third tier as they secure promotion to League One despite losing 0-2 at Gillingham as Bradford lost 1-0 to Swindon. They are back in the League 1 after a long absence of eight years. The game saw much chaos as it came to a halt due to the floodlights going off in the second half. The game could resume after a 23 minute delay.
