ABERFAN DISASTER

Does anyone know if City are planning to mark 50th anniversary of that terrible day when we play Sheffield Wednesday at home on the 19th October? I think they should.

The welsh squad just paid there respects in aberfan memorial gardens this morning

Interesting article in the Sunday Observer a local government official warned the National Coal Board in 1963 about a potential risk to the school, nothing was done nobody was sacked or jailed following the disaster three years later. Equally a Labour government used funds from the worldwide appeal to remove other dangerous tips in the area.Those poor children and families some men were digging their kids out can you imagine what that would do to a human being??? Tony Blair apologized I believe around 2003 for the agony, unforgivable!

My uncle Ceddie lost his boy to the disaster, and was never the same after that, he died 5 years later.

Horrendous tragedy, one that us Welsh folk will never forget.

On things like this I am sure the club will do the appropriate thing.

As a 60 year old guy, this tragic event still sticks in my memory. As a 10 year old child at the time living in Bargoed, I can still remember coming home at lunchtime from South Bargoed Junior school (in those days kids did come home for dinner) and my Mam telling me about the disaster in the other valley, I looked at the coal-tip across the valley above Bargoed Collery and thought is that going to fall on us. To this day it still makes me so sad to think of all those children who were the same age as myself all dying after just going to school in the morning just like all of us and never coming back home again.

SLEEP PEACEFULLY FELLOW SCHOOL-KIDS, MAY YOUR MEMORIES LIVE FOR EVER
