March 9, 20215 yr Good to see. Malcolm will probably know but I'm sure that year was the only season in its history that the FA cup was contested over 2 legs throughout each round. Any other year and that game wouldn't have taken place. RIP the 33
March 9, 20215 yr I often wonder what the chap who opened the gate to let himself out thought about it

March 9, 20215 yr Just had an appointment at the hospital and called on Burnden on my way there, don't normally get over that way so it was just coincidence I was there about 3 o'clock strangely poignant when you think what was happening all those years ago .
March 9, 20215 yr Just been down to the UniBol. I have got to say that I'm very disappointed that the remembrance part isn't adorned with tributes. Today of all days the places should be a shrine. One day a year folk should make an effort. Shameful really. 33
