Lincoln City vs Bradford City

[stacker1195]

Tonight Lincoln City will play Bradford City at Sincil Bank. It'll be the first time that the 2 teams have met in the league since the Bradford Fire in 1985. The teams will be wearing black armbands and there will be a minutes silence to remember the 56 people who died that day.

It'll be a bit sombre in the Stacey West Stand tonight then.

Nice to see that the tragic event is being marked.

I didn't realise that it was that long ago.
I know the event was always used as part of your fire brief for years.. Always made me cringe

I could see the smoke from my house when i was a boy and i lived about 10 miles away from the ground, I will never forget seeing the copper in the ground just burst into flames when he was not even near the flames.
