I can remember watching that as it happened on world of sport. A Sad day for everyone involved

 

[West Winger]

One of my mates was there in the stand opposite the fire. Reckons the sight and sound still give him nightmares. F*cking tragic.

The circumstances around the fire - locked fire exits, no extinguishers and so on - were all things we take for granted now.

We were at home to Ipswich last game of the season and news of it started filtering round the ground, when i got in and saw what had happened,horrific.

Cannot believe that was almost 30 years ago.
I can remember watching it like it was yesterday.
An absolute tragedy on what was supposed to be their big day celebrating promotion iirc.

[Junior Birdman]

Remember it like it was yesterday. Absolutely awful. Unbelievable how fast it all happened as well.

Reading into it is a very difficult thing to do, as ofcourse is watching the footage, a terrible tragedy, nobody should ever go to a footy match n not return home

Where did Bradford play the next season? Still at Valley Parade with just the 3 stands or did they move for a year?

The speed of the inferno is staggering. Poor buggers didn't stand a chance.

Same year a couple of weeks later was The Heysel Stadium disaster.

Wonder what the scousers have arranged for that?

 

[Wayne The Punk]

That is f***ing horrible, I remember watching it in the house, no idea why I wasnt at our game, a true disaster

I expect that both clubs will mark the anniversary of Heysel.

As they should.

Wondered how long it's take someone to turn this into a scouse-bashing thread.
