    The original Yorkshire TV video (as used at Fire marshall training courses) had a counter in the corner that made the speed of the fire even more evident.

    Scary to think that a whole stand could go up in flames so quickly, and amazing how long it took to stop the game.

    Sad to think that it was planned to replace that stand only a couple of weeks later.....

            A very sad day, I remember Grandstand showing it as it happened. Our Fire safety section at work use it as pat of their Fire Safety Training. The younger staff cannot believe how quickly it spread and even insisted it was edited.
