    Wasn’t there today, but yes your memory is correct Dave. Smallwood did a reading last year, I thought he did it with gravitas, compassion and a feel for the tragedy, not some mechanical act.

    I agree with you both. The '56' branding is tacky and representative of how few people around the club today witnessed the events that day. I stick with my personal memories and thoughts of that day and always remember my dearly departed dad for the PTSD type symptoms he suffered afterwards. Never forget always remember ❤️

    Agree , many of us are on here are still living with it in our minds but the families of those that died went through hell and back . I can’t begin to imagine really Offy .

    Today is always emotional for me.

    You could see the gravity of the day clearly displayed on the players faces.

    You came to the game to support your team and sadly never returned home.

    RIP
