Paying Tribute to The Valley Parade Fire

Exeter City Supporters Trust, representing the owners of Exeter City Football Club, will once again pay tribute to the 56 supporters who tragically lost their lives in the Valley Parade fire of 1985, as the Grecians travelled to Bradford City.

Over the years when The Grecians have placed a red and white scarf and handwritten note at the memorial on behalf of our supporters.

The tribute was laid by Trustee Debbie Marrable, and younger fans, trust members, including GGZ, who led a moment of reflection at the memorial. 

Speaking ahead of the tribute, Trustee spokesperson Debbie said:

“We are a fan-owned club built on community, compassion and solidarity. The Valley Parade tragedy is a moment in football history that must never be forgotten.

We stand with Bradford City, their supporters, and the families affected always.”

Exeter City and the Supporters Trust continue to highlight the importance of respect, unity, and remembrance values that define our fan-owned club and the wider football family.
