That was the Bradford city stand fire of 1985.The stand build before Moses was burnt down to the ground from a discarded cigarette that went through a wooden crack and into a huge pile of rubbish killing 90 people.English football was never the same.English football went all concrete with seating.Looking drab and boring.Football grounds in those days had character and atmosphere.Those were the days. ![]()

I'm surprised "Liacon" still has a voice the way he was screaming like an idiot. I'm glad you enjoyed the game. ![]()

@mightyaphrodite
What really irked me (and I mentioned this in the forums) was that Tom Brady wasn't even gracious enough to congratulate Eli Manning after the game. He just ran off the field and into the tunnel. What a sore loser. (as if THREE superbowl victories weren't enough for him..
)

I was kinda mad, I was rooting for the Pats. But whatever....not too peeved, My ViQueens weren't in it, no big deal.
Did you see that interview w/ Belliceck afterwards? He was pretty much Furious.
@ vid - Jesus, that got out of hand pretty quickly. Probably the only vid on NT where a handful of people are beating someone for the person's benefit.

1984-85 in English football saw Bradford City enjoy a most successful season in Football League Division 3 (today's Football League One), and by May 11, the final Saturday of the season, had secured enough points to be crowned league champions, gaining promotion to the Football League Division 2 (today's Football League Championship) for the first time since 1937, 48 years earlier. With Bradford City already champions, and Lincoln City safely occupying mid-table, the game was a meaningless sideshow to what was supposed to be a very rare day of celebration for Bradford City.
As it was the first piece of domestic silverware that the club had captured since they won Football League Division Three North 56 years earlier, in 1929, 11,076 supporters, double that season's average attendance, packed into the then ramshackle 16,000 capacity Valley Parade, to see their club crowned league champions. Of these, 2,000 filled all the ground's seats and a further 2,000 stood on the Paddock terrace that ran immediately to the front and side of the Edwardian Main Stand, also filling it to capacity.
Half an hour before the game, the Bradford City team did a lap of honour after club captain Peter Jackson was presented with the Third Division trophy. For the first 40 minutes of the game, the two sides played out a dull goalless draw, then disaster unfolded.
It is believed the fire started when a spectator disposed of smoking materials, which fell through a damaged empty space beneath the seats of the main stand and onto a pile of rubbish that had accumulated beneath the stand for approximately 20 years.
Five minutes before half-time, white smoke was seen rising from the rear of the 77-year-old wooden stand. Fire-fighting equipment was immediately requested and the police began to move fans from the rear of G Block, the area in which the fire started. Three minutes later, after flames emerged from beneath the stand, match referee Don Shaw stopped the match, which the Football Association ultimately declared to be a 0-0 draw, the score at the time of the game's abandonment.
All thoughts of the match were now forgotten as people were evacuated onto the playing field. Only the fire rapidly took hold 90 seconds later, after a flashover occurred throughout G Block, with the entire main stand then engulfed within two minutes. Whilst most escaped onto the playing field, others seated towards the rear of the stand were trapped in the narrow rear corridor at the back of the stand. Most of the fire's fatalities were found along this corridor where they had been overcome by toxic smoke, by the rear inward opening exit doors and turnstile entrances, which had been locked to prevent unauthorised access.
After flashover the fire raced along the stand's wooden roof with wooden boards and burning melting tar falling from its bitumen-coated roof and onto escaping fans below. Ironically, the steel that the club said it intended to use to update the aging wooden roof the following Monday was lying in the car park behind the stand.
Only countless acts of heroism by police and supporters prevented the death toll from being much worse. Fans who had escaped the fire switched their attentions to saving fellow supporters, with 28 police officers and 22 supporters who were publicly documented as having saved at least one life later receiving police commendation of bravery awards. Together, flanked by undocumented supporters, they managed to clear all but one person who made it to the front of the stand. The club coach Terry Yorath incurred minor injuries while taking part in the rescue.
A total of 56 people died in the fire, with almost 250 of the most injured overwhelming local hospitals. A further 200 required St. John Ambulance first aid treatment at the ground and countless others of the least seriously burned treated themselves in their homes or in the houses that the local community opened up immediately around Valley Parade.
The match itself was being recorded by Yorkshire Television for transmission on their Sunday afternoon regional football show The Big Match. Coverage of the fire was transmitted minutes after the event on the live ITV Saturday afternoon sports programme World of Sport.
