    RIP.

    THE Reds were away at Oxford, getting stuffed by newly promoted Oxford United under Robert Maxwell (not a pleasant image). It was windy on the Cookoo Lane end as it was at Valley Parade. A wind which fanned the flames of that terrible fire.

    Why is it that there has to be a disaster before public safety is improved?

    I would imagine there would be inspections to make sure rubbish is cleared plus we gave fire stewards. Also non smoking everywhere nowadays.
