Financial problems in the early 1980s lead the board to again consider a ground move to the Queen 's Park Annexe , previously considered in 1920 . In the aftermath of the 1985 Bradford City stadium fire and the general upgrading of football ground safety , a number of ground adaptations were undertaken , most significantly the construction of a series of emergency exits from the main stand in the form of flights of steps down to the pitch . Hundreds of seats also had to be removed to provide more gangways . The club was also ordered to install fencing around three sides of the pitch days before the start of the 1985-1986 season
