We won what is now The Championship that day didn't we, going from celebrations on the pitch at The Manor, and then getting home and seeing the horror that happened on TV completely taking the buzz away. Shocking event, and thank god they didn't have perimeter fencing around that stand.

I remember that poor man walking across the pitch in flames, then people trying to put him out, absolutely awful

The stand at Lincoln named after fire victims Bill Stacey and Bill West.
