markinch5 0 Posted April 9, 2010 Share Posted April 9, 2010 I wonder if posters on Rangers Media could be so kind as to donate to the Markinch Memorial Fund that is hoping to raise funds to give the five young lads that died on that sad day in our history a memorial that befits them . These young boys went out that day to watch their heroes in Blue and sadly never came home.Any donations even something as small as a pound would be warmly welcomed...paypal account: http://tinyurl.com/yj9lg2j Thanks Again.

Its 110% genuine mate and its the work of a few guys that are trying to make sure that these young lads get a fitting tribute and any extra cash left over will get given to rachel house. They basically want to have the area tidied up and some flowers planted and for the memorial to be raised and refurbished.if you post over on FF then you will be able to read the threads on this. Its not a FF project but a project by a few bears that believe these young boys deserve to be remembered in a more fitting way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

markinch5 0 Posted April 11, 2010 Author Share Posted April 11, 2010 the Ibrox disaster is what happened. these five boys all played for the same youth team and were mates and all went to watch their heroes and never came home.The burgh of Markinch, in Fife, was hardest hit by the tragedy. Five boys, all between the ages of 13 and 15, ardent Rangers fans who played on the same youth football team, also lost their lives.Elizabeth McKim was watching the exodus of fans from her third-storey home on Cairnlea Drive when the death scene played before her. She told The Scotsman:"I saw the fans coming over the top of the terracing and going down the staircase. Then there was a roar and these fans tried to get back up. Suddenly the whole mass of people began swaying. I could hardly watch because I had seen it before and I knew what was going to happen. Within seconds people were tumbling down the stairway. All you could see was arms and legs. I could see that the barriers had been twisted and bent." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVB 2,560 Posted April 11, 2010 Share Posted April 11, 2010 Pardon my disdain, but you're 18 and didn't know about these boys? Fair play to you for asking publicly, but one would've thought you'd have known already. Hence, I didn't "excuse" your ignorance. Maybe a touch harsh on my part lad, don't take it to heart.
