The Football.....

[mark st1]

At one point the fire moved faster than you could run, incredible, what the video can't show is the flames above, inside the roof canopies, many didn't even notice them till it was too late. I've never been in an enclosed place with lots of people since, I won't go into an old concert hall, cinema or similar. On the other hand, it had very positive influence on my life, I don't get remotely bothered about what other people do "normally", money, job security etc etc.

Does put a perspective on things i can imagine. As for actually being caught up in it i wouldnt know where to begin to imagine how that was.

BTW The lovely fans of Crewe Alexandra seemed to get enormous pleasure singing songs about the fire on Saturday when we played there. Unbelievable.

Football supporters at there finest ! Having been at OT when the lovely people from Skiverpool have been throwing blow up aeroplanes with Munich written on them around in the away end. Sheer class.

@MarkF - a truly harrowing experience for you (and many others).

C'mon Mark, most supporters have song's they like to throw about in regards to tragedies, including Man Utd back at Liverpool with Heysel.

Yes of course dont get me wrong im not preaching for sympathy just writing of my own experience thats all. Heysel was all Chelsea fans fault anyway if you believe Skiverpool supporters

None of those songs are acceptable to me. I have never heard anything comparable sung by Bradford City supporters, the thought of getting into a tit-for-tat song battle with Leeds over Turkey/Galatasary and a fire would be unthinkable.

The situation at Crewe rapidly got out of control and without the stewards and good segregation there would have been a serious incident. Crewe FC have offered an apology and Cheshire police said:- “Over the coming days we will review the club CCTV footage and if we can identify any individual(s) responsible we will take positive action.” I have no idea what positive action could be taken?

It's a real cliche, but in the Premier League anyone can really beat anyone....

Awful that the Munich song/aeroplane gestures still happens. The tiny minority who do this are condemned by all decent supporters. Of course they justify it as response to the Hillsborough taunts/crushing gestures. Despicable all round. Not worth trying to point score about.

I keeping my faith with my Norwich predictions ?!?!
Surely they'll win again soon

There may be a disadvantage in having your team in the list. It's very easy to be overoptimistic and then, if the team loses, you have the disappointment and you don't even get a point from your predictions.

Having been born in Leeds, this has not been a problem for me....

Well done Arsenal, both teams produced another, very enjoyable, high quality game of football.

Blimey that was a get out of jail free card today for Chelsea. JM has never lost a PL match at Stamford Bridge. It was a close call. Not a great shout for a penalty but any team would take it.

Phew!
