    Appalling to read in today’s Yorkshire post that a podcast called 900 degrees by a journalist called Mobeen Azhar is to be released. He is claiming that the City fire may have been started deliberately and is no doubt going to stir up conspiracy theories. He says he’s not bothered how many people he offends by the questions he will ask. It’s going to bring back painful memories in my opinion and something we really don’t need.

    I doubt anything in this isn’t already in the public domain. Certainly won’t be listening to it.

    QAnon is everywhere. All he’s doing is recycling the QAnon crap that was debunked years ago, written by someone who claimed to be a City fan. Name escapes me.

    Probably trying to be controversial in order to drum up interest. I would be more than happy never to see a film about this dreadful time in our club’s history.

    More pain to come for those that were there. It had a very, very long and thorough investigation at the time, interviewing hundreds of eyewitnesses, reaching conclusions that the vast majority of fans, staff and services there agreed with. This not needed and not wanted (putting it politely).

    What a nasty piece of work.

    Unfortunately this is the result of molly coddling conspiracy theorist morons.

    They are all competing with each other to 'unearth' the next viral sensation (not to be confused with truth), and couldn't give a toss about the victims in pretty much in any instance of conspiracy garbage.

    Utterly, utterly shameful.

    Who is this idiot?

    He has the right to do it which may seem harsh but
    Theres no law to stop a journalist doing a story on this however crass it may seem.

    I doubt it's journalism.

    This kind of thing is usually some moronic form of entertainment.

    Conspiracy garbage evolves into fan fiction, where every idiot has an opinion based on very limited evidence, usually extremely unwelcome.

    It's one thing when it's political, but not a tragedy like this trying to piggy back on the Hillsborough disaster.

    The podcast doesn't offend me, I simply won't listen but the Yorkshire post advertising it is an absolute disgrace.

    It will be similar conspiracy rubbish that the Guardian journalist Daniel Taylor wrote a few ago.

    Anyone can set up a podcast and claim to be a journalist, there's nothing anyone can do to stop that unless he's committing a crime. If he wants to do it then that's up to him but if papers like Yorkshire Post publicise it then they should be banned from VP.

    I was there. Who are the survivors he's supposedly interviewed.

    Who is he. Although I'm guessing thats his aim no one knows him so wants publicity to get his name out there.

    Don't give it the time of day. Ignore it like most people will. Just another podcaster looking for attention.

    He’s actually an award winning journalist who’s won
    a BAFTA for various documentaries and Royal television award.
