ramsbottom Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Thought it was a great moment when everyone stood up and applauded. As far as I know we're the only one who did it today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I was in the North stand upper standing up for the Bradford applause. Everyone continued to stand as the mighty Rams were on the attack. I felt a tapping on my shoulder - the bloke behind asked me to sit down. The very same bloke who sat in a seat that has been unoccupied all season, telling me, who has sat in the same seat since the stadium opened, to sit down! Tell you what - I could have knocked the **** out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 It was very good. Unfortunately a couple of minutes late because of the goal, but a fantastic show from both sets of fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewetube Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I can remember the day vividly, the shocking pictures on the news, the reports on the radio and in the papers. I thought our tribute was very moving. It was a lovely gesture to remember their tragedy in the midst of our joy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyHudson Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Although we seem to be getting a lot of credit for the tribute, it's worth pointing out that a lot Brighton fans joined in as well. Nice to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MuespachRam Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I remember going to the first game back there after the fire..really sad. Just watched the footage again of it going up-wow, incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 Bradford aren't in the Premier League so can't we just pretend it never happened and concentrate on next years tribute for the Hillsborough disaster? The FA make me sick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The FA make me sick. It was only the Bradford fans tho If they d had been cheeky chappies with a great sense of humour and knowledgable about football wed already been on a countdown to next year memorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Staggering how little coverage it has gotten today, I'm sure Bradford fans won't be too bothered. I guess it'd get a bit tasteless watching the horrific tragedy over and over again. Nevertheless, I'm absolutely proud of the few hundred that started the chant and delighted about the way it transposed across the ground. Straight after our goal. Good of Brighton to join in too. First-rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevertheless, I'm absolutely proud of the few hundred that started the chant and delighted about the way it transposed across the ground. Straight after our goal. Good of Brighton to join in too. First-rate. A guy delivered something to my house this morning and as I was still dressed in my Derby County dressing gown (it was a late night) we had a chat about the match. He is a Bradford fan as many are around here, and he said how moved he was that we, and Brighton, remembered the anniversary and in such a way. I think we, and the club by their encouragement, did well. Needles is right that there is a political element to the Hilsborough tragedy that makes it a slightly different case but when push comes to shove 56 ordinary football fans lost their lives at a football match and they deserve to be remembered, as well as the 96 from Liverpool.
