the youtube footage is horrific, and the terry yorath interview was really upsetting!
the awful truth of it is that the stand was due to be pulled down after that game... so so cruel!

My thoughts go out to those who lost loved ones. Such a tragic day. I said it in another thread, no-one should fail to come back from a football match.

I remember losing to Wimbledon on the last day of the season to get relegated.
I remember boarding the coach and being told about the events at Bradford, and then hearing the full scale of the tragedy on the radio, which stunned our coach into silence for the journey home.
RIP fellow football fans, you will never be forgotten.

I remember seeing the footage. At first the seriousness was not clear. the fire spread very quickly and trapped people in what must have been a horrific experience for those that perished and those that witnessed it.
RIP
Tony - Any plans for another series of your great programme?

It was just the speed of the flames. One minute little fire underneath the stand, next minute all hell is breaking loose.
Sure I read somewhere that a bloke was at the game with his young son and old man.
He had to make a choose which one to save. Absolutely gut wrenching.
I've not seen the footage again, but can remember pics of a man on fire coming out of the stand and police and fans trying to beat them out.
Total horrifying.

I use to live there and had a Night Club right next door to the Ground, I also Sat in them seats where the fire started. I lost a few friends in that fire, What Hurt most was the Fire exits were locked at the back of the Stand and when the Fans rushed to get out of them they couldnt, yet no one was charged.
RIP to THE PEOPLE OF BRADFORD
