frank_spencer Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Grampa Spencer was on the embankment that day as a kid, him and his mate were passed over the fence to safety. The fact he didn't know if those who helped him survived haunted him. He never went back on the embankment after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clown Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Every credit to BWFC for the programme last night. Anyone who didn't get one should get hold of it - the inserted programme from the day was a treat. Well done Wanderers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnden was a unique smell it was the same smell for 20 odd years I attended games the young ones who didn't experience must think we're crackers.

Didn't see any reference to it on BBC North-West news. But plenty of coverage from Liverpool about George Martin RIP and the Beatles.par for the course.

Mounts Kipper Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 RIP wanderers Piece on the today program radio 4 this morning which was a pleasant surprise Apologies if posted very much worth a watch Obviously been aware of the disaster for many years but the 70th anniversary has really brought it home to me the interviews especially with the Battersby brothers who lost their dad and uncle brings home the pain these families still feel today. I'm pleased the club have taken the time to remember the disaster in a proper manner and people who were there have had the chance to have their say. RIP to the 33 and their families.

Understated and respectful and that's not a dig at any other club. Spoke to a Stoke mate earlier. He'd heard about a move from some Stoke fans for a minutes applause on 33 minutes at their game this weekend. No idea if true?? I fucking hate Stoke after Wembley and relegation day but if it's true, and it happens, I will reverse my opinion as I did with Spurs after Muamba Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
