R.I.P To The 96

Wed Apr 15, 2015 7:46 am

R.I.P to the 96 football fans that went to support their team and tragically never came home. Football comes to a standstill today as 25 years of the fight for justice continues. Not a Liverpool fan but I would just like to share my condolences with the families who still fight for justice. The 96 will never be forgotten, may they rest in peace and never walk alone. JFT96

Totally agree with this. I remember listening to radio as the tragedy unfolded. Think ccfc were away on the day it happened.

The only thing that gets me with Liverpool fans is that they seem to ignore the Heysel disaster and whilst they rightly remember the 96 thet forget about the 39 Juventus fans.

Both tragic events, but I respect the way Bradford club and fans go about things. They do it with a lot more class and dignity imo :ayatollah:

Totally avoidable tragedy, caused by bad organisation from the FA, SWFC and South Yorkshire Police. As if that wasn't bad enough, they then tried to blame the fans for it, not helped by a certain newspaper.

Fair play to the Hillsborough Justice Campaign for dragging the truth into the open and forcing another inquest.

Ive gotto be honest and I dont mean any bad taste or offence to anybody, but its time this was well and totally put to bed. Yes it was tragic, but so too was 9/11, the London & Madrid incidents, the Malaysian airline shot down etc all of these are huge and potentially unavoidable but dont hear or see much about these.

It's getting a mention today for another reason.

RIP 96.

I was thinking the same thing,fair enough say 10,25 or even50 years but they bring it up every year do they bring up the Heysel or Bradford disasters every year,no they dont i agree time to put it to bed now

They conveniently forget about Heysel.

As an earlier poster stated Bradford preserve the memory of the 56 in a more dignified way.
