I was in Leeds that day and questioned by police whether we'd been to Bradford game

This was on Leeds Station, they were asking everyone.

We assumed it had been crowd trouble until much later when we found out about the tragedy.

We were in fact on a railtour which went over the Settle to Carlisle line.
