Ashley 288 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 I recall the Bradford disaster, was at Beeston marina at the time, had just pulled up in car park and radio Nottingham sports presenter, almost jokingly said words to effect of "we're getting reports of a stand on fire at Bradford, I remember forest's stand burning down, but don't think this is as bad" seemed almost jovial about it! but to be fair wouldn't at that time know full details, neither did we, off we went for few hrs on the boat then got a right shock when we returned to the van. Might be wrong but wasn't there some disaster at a Glasgow Rangers match far worse? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 The infamous 'Stairway 13' disaster saw 66 people perish at Ibrox in 1971 at New Year. There have however been two disasters at the Glasgow ground: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ibrox_disaster God rest and keep the 96 of Hillsborough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Seems I was wrong re a "worst" disaster, got it mixed up numbers wise with The Bethnal Green Tube Station crush when 173 killed Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Beefsteak 305 Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 You're not on your own there Ash, I thought 106 people were killed at Ibrox , and it was indeed the biggest disaster at a UK footy match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 04 188 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 A few of us Notts supporters went to the game with a few Forest mates. I will never forget that day til the day I die. This was before the day's of mobile phones so wasn't able to let my wife, who was pregnant with our first baby, know I was ok. She didn't know at the time that it was the Liverpool fans that were in trouble. She was going frantic, watching the images coming up on the tv. It was awful that it took over an hour before any information was relayed to us and that we stood there hopeless, watching the scene unfold. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I went with a few Forest supporting work colleagues up to Anfield afterwards to take a collection from our place of work and lay some flowers. Sombre does not do justice to the scenes. God bless and keep them all. THE JUSTICE BELL A schoolboy holds a leather ball in a photograph on a bedroom wall the bed is made, the curtains drawn as silence greets the break of dawn. The dusk gives way to morning light revealing shades of red and white , which hang from posters locked in time of the Liverpool team of 89. Upon a pale white quilted sheet a football kit is folded neat with a yellow scarf, trimmed with red and some football boots beside the bed. In hope, the room awakes each day to see the boy who used to play but once again it wakes alone for this young boy’s not coming home. Outside, the springtime fills the air the smell of life is everywhere viola’s bloom and tulips grow while daffodils dance heel to toe. These should have been such special times for a boy who’d now be in his prime but spring forever turned to grey in the Yorkshire sun, one April day. The clock was locked on 3.06 as sun shone down upon the pitch lighting up faces etched in pain as death descended on Leppings Lane. Between the bars an arm is raised amidst a human tidal wave a young hand yearning to be saved grows weak inside this deathly cage. A boy not barely in his teens is lost amongst the dying screams a body too frail to fight for breath is drowned below a sea of death His outstretched arm then disappears to signal thirteen years of tears as 96 souls of those who fell await the toll of the justice bell. Ever since that disastrous day a vision often comes my way I reach and grab his outstretched arm then pull him up away from harm. We both embrace with tear-filled eyes I then awake to realise it’s the same old dream I have each week as I quietly cry myself to sleep. On April the 15th every year when all is calm and skies are clear beneath a glowing Yorkshire moon a lone scots piper plays a tune. The tune rings out the justice cause then blows due west across the moors it passes by the eternal flame then engulfs a young boys picture frame. His room is as it was that day for thirteen years it’s stayed that way untouched and frozen forever in time since that tragic day in 89. And as it plays its haunting sound tears are heard from miles around they’re tears from families of those who fell awaiting the toll of the justice bell.

katyjay 5,091 Posted September 11, 2017 Report Share Posted September 11, 2017 At 7am this morning, we are going to the flagpole in our community for a little ceremony to mark 16 years since 9/11. Then the group will walk together around the 2 mile path circling the area. Wearing our red, white and blue of course. Hope it's not too warm, I'm a wimp in this heat. 1 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
