Roger?Will never forget walking out of Parkhead that day with the mates, including our adopted Scouser, only for a Policeman to tell us the news.
RIP to the 97, and Roger.
Bradford isn't talked about enoughHelish.
Too young to remember the Ibrox disaster.
Remember Heysel, Bradford & Hillsborough vividly.
Anybody that ever goes to the football, should be getting home safe & sound.
Scouse mate who was with us on that day.Roger?
One of my earliest memories of Grandstand watching people run for their lives from that burning stand.Bradford isn't talked about enough
The footage is unbelievable.
At the start it looked like something that could be contained then became an inferno in a few minutes. Absolutely horrendous.Bradford isn't talked about enough
The footage is unbelievable.
Mine too mate, we must be similar ages, I'm 45, my 3 earliest football memories are Heysel, Jock Stein passing and Bradford.One of my earliest memories of Grandstand watching people run for their lives from that burning stand.
Bang on, I’m 44 mate.Mine too mate, we must be similar ages, I'm 45, my 3 earliest football memories are Heysel, Jock Stein passing and Bradford.
That's my reaction to it too, you can see in the footage how it goes from a small isolated fire to the entire stand being ablaze in minutes. Thank %^*& there weren't fences.At the start it looked like something that could be contained then became an inferno in a few minutes. Absolutely horrendous.
So many of the deaths were avoidable too. I’m sure it came out afterwards that many of the deaths were caused by the fire exits being chained shutThat's my reaction to it too, you can see in the footage how it goes from a small isolated fire to the entire stand being ablaze in minutes. Thank %^*& there weren't fences.
Still remember it vividly, i was in the old jungle at Parkhead that day with my dad, a regular sight back then were loads of old (to me at the time) guys holding wee radios to their ears, one in front of us turned and said to my dad that the Liverpool game was being delayed by crowd trouble which wasn't an uncommon occurrence back then.Will never forget walking out of Parkhead that day with the mates, including our adopted Scouser, only for a Policeman to tell us the news.

This post is a fukin mess. Why mention a previous disaster as some sort of reasoning that led to another, and finger pointing blame into the bargain.It was a tragedy , similar could've happened at the piggery that day , they never opened the jungle and so we were all behind the goals .
Heysel ( Liverpool fans to blame ( and basically English fans in general made the fences to go up That's why when people started coming onto the park the police tried to stop them . All we can do is pray that we never ever see the same again .
Can we please stop the pyro, all it takes is one to catch fire , and let's face it most are getting waved by wee boys pished and on marching powderr

Watched documentaries on both which. Contained eye witness accounts including police and juventus supportersTin Man, were you at Heysel or Hillsborough? Intrigued because you seem to have quite a bit of knowledge of events.
