When it comes to the last home game of the season its always a big day down at VP for bradford Fans, We remember the 56 fan who lost their life at the game what was meant to be a happy day for Us as we had just won promotion from the old div 3,
I was only 5 at the time and was not at the game but i had been to most games that season the only reason i was not there was because it was sold and and my dad did not want to risk taking me, I dont remember the day, but what im told we dropped my Dad off at the game and me my mum and brother went into Bradford Shopping, 40 mins into the game a small fire broke out in the stand, It only took 4 mins to burn the whole stand down the the ground.
My mum tells me she could see the smoke for the city centre and had easy found out what was going on, The news report was 100's of fans had died in the stand, remember this was a time without mobile phones so i can't think of the worrie and what my mum was thinking
for them who don't know anything about it i have left a tribute video and when This Saturday comes i hope all of you can spend a few mins to remember the 56 fans who died that day
