Forty years yesterday since their fire. Programme showed the raw detail of it last night and how it is still affecting lives today. Makes their promotion even more poignant as they had guaranteed their promotion just before that game.

Timber stands asking for trouble. Shocking seen young kids and others dying just by going to watch your fav team.
Been quite a few shockers over the years from hillsborough to even stands collapsing.
When so many gather in small area and something happens unfortunately there is no escaping.
RIP to all that have died and all the people still alive that have to go through the memories day in day out.

Terrible day and I'm sure many still carry horrible memories with them on a daily basis.

All they did was watch a football match and then ???. Very sad

Sad event - remember listening to a talk given by the West Yorkshire fire brigade a couple of years after the event and it was the first time I?d heard the phrase double incontinence - the fine folk from the emergency services were affected by what they saw for many years afterwards.

I?m old enough to have witnessed it all unfolding on live on TV. Awful, awful day. The elderly lady who lost her husband and I think two kids was so brave yet so matter of fact about grieving etc. The little plaque at the side of a river was so poignant. She gets on with life the best she can but never forgets that day which changed her as a person forever. She never talks about her loss as she said it then alters the way others define her. She didn?t want that. Proper old fashioned grit.
Programs like this make me feel so lucky.
