Bradford City stadium fire

by Alivey » 08 May 2009 09:31

I would like to apologise for my previous thread on the subject. It was ill conceived and poorly executed, it was not my intention to mock the dead or to take the piss out of something as tragic as the accident. It was frustrating for me as it seems the press attention to the fire is never highlighted in the same way Hillsborough is, for example. It was childish to say that it deserved more attention. 3 weeks before Hillsborough anniversary the BBC Football section was already in full force, with interviews, photos, videos, etc. It's now 3 days until the anniversary of the fire and there seems to be no or little attention to it. It just feels disgraceful. Sorry for throwing toys out of the pram.

RIP the Bradford City 56 a tragic and horrible way to die.

Has the old thread been deleted? Apart from your cocking around, there was nothing wrong with it.

As I said before, the 20th anniversary had plenty of coverage, as will the 30th.
