Yes they don't do any matches these days ....

I had to attend a training course last week* it started with a warning about fire, it showed the disaster, absolutely harrowing


* no not a self defense course, @#%&!s

Seen it before but its awful that

Never fails to amaze me just how £#%&!ing mongish some football fans can be. The stands burning down, people are dying and some absolute #@&%!s are laughing and dancing in front of a camera. Well done lads :£#%&!er:

Doesn't matter how many times you watch that - just horriffic. God Bless.

5:49 £#%&!ing hell

Respect to the Bradford fans for handling it all with such class and quiet dignity. <Sniffs>.

I was at QPR-United that day, my mum came and picked me up from the station and gave me a big hug......choked up I was.

Thank £#%&! the stand didn't have fencing infront of it, like many did at the time. Doesn't bear thinking about how much worse it could've been.

Terrible day

Terrible day

Indeed - didn't most die trying to escape in an alleyway outside the ground and they got trapped in ?

I remember reading an interview with one of the relatives of that man on fire. He didn't survive it, obviously

if that was me you'd just hope that you'd go quickly. because that must have been more pain than anyone can imagine.

Odd moment to choose to tell you that you were adopted.

me too, although about 20 years ago.

big lesson was that when someone is on fire (that bloke at the end), don't try and put said fire out by @#%&!ting them with your jackets and stamping on their back.

Tragic

I knew someone who was playing for Lincoln that day. He never spoke about it as far as I know.

you've passed up a chance to educate some fredsters there, what is the right course of action (assuming you've come out without a bucket of water)
