Bradford City Fire

A minute's silence will be held at the start of all Premier League and Football League games on the weekend of 25 and 26 April to mark the 30th anniversary of the Bradford City fire.

Fifty-six fans, including two from visitors Lincoln City, died in a fire in Valley Parade's main stand on 10 May 1985.

The fire was started by a lit cigarette dropped under the all-wooden stand.The date coincides with Bradford's last home match of the season.
