ENGLAND boss Roy Hodgson's decision to visit Valley Parade to pay his respects to the fire victims has been welcomed by City.

Hodgson and Football Association Greg Dyke will attend Saturday's final home game of the season against Barnsley when a traditional minute's silence will be held.

Clubs across the country will also mark the upcoming 30th anniversary in the same manner.

City joint-chairman Mark Lawn said: "Roy Hodgson wants to show his respects as the England manager and I think that should happen.

"He is the head of our national team and it's quite apt that he should be coming to our club as it 's going to be a day when the whole country holds a minute's silence."
