chief wiggum Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It's been mentioned, but I think it's worth a thread. I don't normally start stuff off, but I live in the area and it's still pretty raw for some folk here. RIP to the 56 who went to a game and never came home, my thoughts are with their loved ones today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulhanley Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 No doubt it has been said many times before but worth observing again that Bradford played us at Burnden a week before this. They won 0-2 on their way to promotion with Stuart McCall playing brilliantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted May 11, 2014 Site Supporter Share Posted May 11, 2014 If that's the video that shows the old fellow burning alive as he staggers on to the pitch, I cannot watch it. I refuse to go to Everton in the wooden away end anymore. Scares the shit out of me that place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
