Totally forgot about that disaster (it seems to get less national recogntion than Hillsborough). The whole thing is shocking, especially the guy walking whos on fire.

I remember getting home from the Old Vic and it being on the news. Anyone remember if it was our last game and who we played ?
Could not watch it to the end.
Terrible R.I.P.

If I remember correctly, the man who was totally on fire, died three days later with 91% burns. Makes you appreciate the concrete grounds of today.

Fences at most grounds didn't come down until after Hillsborough 4 years later. Imagine how much worse the Bradford death toll would have been if that stand had had a fence stopping supporters escaping on to the pitch. RIP all.

Was watching the BBC that day when the images started to come through, I did not click on that link because the images from all that time are still in my head. My mate from 6th form was there that day as he went to Uni there and I can still remember thinking if he had got out or not! (luckily for him he did, and yes he was in that stand).

Yorkshire potter I agree and disagree with your comments, This footage is horrific and shouldn't be shown but as you read the response to this thread there are people who didn't even know about the Bradford fire disaster, this may be due to there age. We owe it to those people who died and there loved ones that the shambolic state of football should never return, if people need to watch this 7 minute video clip so that there is never another Bradford, another Hysel or another Hillsborough then so be it. My brother in laws uncle was there co-commentating for local radio, he has never spoken about what happened and I don't think he ever will. these days are the darkest hours of British football. Sometimes we need reminding how dark those times where just so we will never slip back into those times.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bradford_City_disaster#ControversySomeone further up posted the link above. When it turned up on youtube (and when the american idiots belittled the events of that day) it caused a lot of hurt and upset to both suvivors and the families of those who lost their lives. I stumbled across it the first time it went up on youtube and only watch the first few minutes. It is some of the most disturbing footage i have ever seen and i cant imageine how it would be for someone closely linked to it to see it and have it dragged up. I agree that it is right to use it for health and safety training, im sure ive read that the families of the victims agreed to that, but to have it in the public domian as 'entertainment' is wrong. Bradford City FC and the supporters organisations do fantastic job preserving the memory of those 56 people and that is how it should be left.

For the record,these are the people who died, from the clubs website. I still go to VP sometimes, was there for our reserve game a few weeks back, the same list is on the memoial at the ground and it really is heartbreaking to look at it. RIP to all. www.bradfordcityfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/History/0,,10266~91558,00.html Youll have to copy and paste the address.

mark71scfc...I totally agree with regards to your comments concerning the 'Dark times'.
The Dark times are also with us this summer too, to a lesser degree...The European Championships.!
I don't wish to make light of such tradegy ....but with this crock of 'idiots and shite' at the helm ...then anything is possible.!!
Incompetance and legalised corruption on draught.
Cheers.!....Here's to another F.A. Balls up.!
