Today, on the 30th Anniversary of Hillsborough, and just after we played the Bantams, who had their own footballing disaster, I hope no-one minds me putting my latest BRFC official programme article on here, in full. From the shocking Bradford City fire, to the 96 fans (plus many others injured and traumatised) who were so badly treated at Hillsborough, and through to more local tragedies, such as Ben Hiscox's accident, the positive side of football shows that we will comfort and campaign for our own. Despite some intense footballing rivalries we are all human beings and NOBODY should ever leave the house in the morning to go to a football match and fail to return home. Football, at its heart, is a family, and the underdogs and the forgotten will hopefully always be protected by us, the rank and file supporters.

Nice post from op.
I was coming back from Swansea on supporters coach when Bradford fire occurred....I think most football fans remember where they were when Hillsborough news filtered through.
So many mistakes made in a time when if you were a football fan in mid 80s, you were regarded as society's problem.
As usual, the real fans suffered. Never forget.

A very poignant and revealing article well written and showing how football fans were treated as second class citizens who had no rights at all.Heaven forbid that another disaster should strike at a football ground in these islands or in fact anywhere around the world.I thank god that I have never been anywhere near any such events and hope I never do
