Small things that need to be done at the ground

Im pretty sure asbestos is exactly what you want near you in a fire. as opposed to the kindling that is the East Stand .

The East has an asbestos roof. Which means the heat from any fire would wouldn't escape but radiate back down on us supporters.

Thats why Bradfords main stand took just 4 minutes to be fully engulfed in fire. If you ever watch it again, half way in you can see the flames running along the stand as it becomes a flash fire. There is also a clip where police officers hair spontaneously combusts from the radiated heat while trying to rescue someone

Bradfords stand had a wooden roof with a bitumen covering. Thats why it went up so quickly and the stuff dropping down contributed to the fatality count

Some posters commented that the West Stand was too loud, ive turned down the amps over there as they had been put on full volume which hadn't helped the working out of the levels. Apologies again over this

Hopefully that is better over there. Again if any issues, just drop me a line.

As you say....

"The fire escalated very rapidly, and flames became visible; police started to evacuate the stand. As the blaze spread, the wooden stands and roof–covered with layers of highly flammable bituminous roofing felt–quickly went ablaze. Burning timbers and molten materials fell from the roof onto the crowd and seating below, and dense black smoke enveloped a passageway behind the stand, where many spectators were trying to escape"

Terrible, terrible, avoidable day... maybe Roots Hall ain't so bad !
