GT81 marks the start of the third decade for the
magazine and, as usual, this issue is an eclectic mix
of old, new, forgotten, unusual and far flung football
grounds. The diversity of grounds in Kent is illustrated by no less than three articles featuring very different venues in the Garden of England, all of which
have now gone or seen better days. As we move
into the summer months there is also a continental
flavour to whet the appetite for foreign trips. One of
the overseas stadiums featured is Heysel Stadium, 30
years after the terrible disaster that claimed 39 lives.
It should also be remembered that Heysel followed
only a matter of days after the Bradford Fire, which
saw 56 innocent victims perish in the flames at Valley Parade. The lessons learnt from these events
must never be forgotten.
