Whilst we are all getting tetchy about the outcome of a game of football in 48 hours or so, please spare a thought on the 27th anniversary of the fire at Valley Parade, for the 56 souls who went to a match full of celebration never to return home. RIP

Indeed

 

And marvel at their dignity in the years since, Liverpool.

jeepers, i remember that vividly.

Cant believe it was that long ago

 

very sad

i dont remeber the original disaster (i was six)

 

but ive seen footage. highly disturbing.

 

awful, just awful

I remember it well, them 27 years have passed quickly. Indeed, some things are far more important than which league we will be in next season. RIP to the 56

Was it that long? Blimey. A true tragedy that.

 

 

Chubby Brown - Cunt.

I remember it well too.

 

A Leeds fan died on the same day at Birmingham when a wall collapsed

I remember it well too.

Bang on Darwen - a truly dark day in British football history

I remember it well too.

I was only just reading about that on another forum, terrible stuff.That stand at Birmingham looks exactly the same too!http://carlsbrumblog.blogspot.co.uk/2009/01/blues-v-leeds-riot-1985.html

Absolutely horrific event. It is amazing how quick the stand went up in flames.

Sometimes you just have to be thankful for the soulless modern concrete stadiums.

 

RIP to those poor Bradford folk.
