A forgotten disaster by many

by manusince52 (U9692)

But not I hope football fans.
Forty years after the event BBC are doing a documentary on the Bradford fire. Fifty six people who went to watch a football game never came home.
A genuine tragedy that doesn't seem much remembered.
But we football fans can and should.

Don't think it is forgotten - but Bradfords season is often over by the 11th May so they don't get to have matchday events and minutes of silence.

A woman lost her twin boys and husband on that day, one of the many tragic stories.

I went to two football matches that day... ironically

Remember watching it on the news as a young lad. Terrible tragedy.

I remember this, it was huge at the time. Awful, awful tragedy.

Didnt they trace it back to somebody putting a cigarette nip into a plastic empty tea cup ?
