RIP to the Bradford 56...

Yeah you're right mate we was at Wimbledon that day, R.I.P. The Bradford fans.

Their mother donated all the compensation to the death school where her husband worked. Very brave lady she was. We all pay our respects every year on the day, We don't want it glorified and don't expect
other Clubs to follow what we do, Unlike what the Hillsborough tragedy seems to have done. Again thanks.


Respect Bob. I've given up on football for reasons explained five or six years ago. A part of the community died that day because they went to watch a football match.
