I wonder if anyone got their arse kicked for final exit gates being locked shut. I searched Google for the answer but found this. https://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/apr/15/bradford-fire-stafford-heginbotham-martin-fletcher Wow. That is absolutely shocking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted February 22 Site Supporter Share Posted February 22 Interesting article that Micky- very shocking. I suppose when you have that many coincidences, any "genuine" event might be considered suspicious 🤔 Not sure how anyone would be able to prove it was deliberate now. As an aside, iirc, the exit gates at the back were locked. Are the ones at the 'bok (indeed everywhere) still locked to the outside but manned incase of emergency? Need to have some sort of security to stop folk getting on whilst the game is on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes locked on the outside but unlocked inside so can be quickly opened if necessary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need to have some sort of security to stop folk getting on whilst the game is on. There is no accessible door furniture from outside the stadium but a push-bar from inside. The push-bar will open the door if you activate it or if a build-up of people eventually opens it, spilling them outside. All will be chained and padlocked when the stadium isn’t in use but somewhere, probably in the video room you can see in the South/West corner, there’ll be a board where every padlock and chain will be hung and obvious spaces visible. The ground safety certificate will specify that it can’t open until every padlock and chain is hung on that board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard that there's clear film of him shaking Iredale but I've not seen it. The match video was very unclear. Has anyone got a link ?

Pretty clear on the match video that he whacks him round the head Even a slight coming together of heads gets you can red card so can't see what his defence would be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no doubt he did, just that the match video just showed a tumble for me. I've read people saying there were other angles & clear images of a coming together.

He's got the red for the initial swing, Iredale has been booked for retaliating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although not being the focus of the cameraman, he does appear to lash out and smack Iredale round his swede. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
