That's incredible and don't recall that at the time! The mix of oil, fats, water and other combustibles within the unit would have sent it through the roof in seconds and the consequences for anyone onside could have been catastrophic in the extreme!

At Bradford (almost a suburb of Leeds) of all places and less than a year after the fire that cost 56 lives and countless injured and scarred for life?!?!

"We Are Leeds" has never had such an evil and abhorrent tone to it!

whilst I agree with your sentiment, I have to pick you up on one thing chief - Bradford is not, never has been and never will be a suburb of Leeds.

Bit like saying Newport is a suburb of Cardiff, except that Bradford is a proper city in its own right, unlike, er, Newport

Tongue-in-cheek on that point, fella; a bit like away fans singing "You're just a small town in..."

I'm with you, Andy. It is mostly banter these days (even with The Jacks) and long may it continue

But I hadn't seen that images before and it's absolutely disgraceful (even if it was another club's fans)

lots of things went on back then that never made the papers or news. equally in some games the press would on times paint things out to be 100 times worse than they were

What's 'painted 100 times more than it was' about setting a mobile kitchen on fire with someone still in it?
