We've always said it could've happened to supporters of any club. I just hadn't realised how close Spurs fans came......I wonder if the facts in this article will ever be discussed and considered at the inquest
"Hillsborough was the most predictable disaster imaginable. In 1981, I was there to see Spurs play Wolves in another Cup semi-final when several hundred fans spilled out of the overcrowded Leppings Lane end and were led to safety. Thirty-eight people suffered cracked ribs, broken limbs and so on. The police, who thought that the lack of fatalities was pure luck, suggested safety precautions be taken. None were."

A manc I work with said he went to 2 semi finals at Hillsborough in 76 and 77 and he said there was people getting injured and crushed then. He said his mate who was 20odd stone at the time got a few ribs broke

As a southerner, who has only even been to the city on three occasions, all to visit Anfield, I don't think I'll ever fully understand the pain of the people of Liverpool, the friends and the family.
Yet, even as an outsider, the occasions I have visited I have been met with warm welcomes, and made to feel more a part of Liverpool than I ever could've expected.
It's great to finally see the recognition of not just the inadequacies in policing, and the lies and cover-ups, but also the apologies owed to the friends and family, the community, and the people of Liverpool as a whole.
The conclusion of that article is beautifully written, and points out the ridiculous notion of tribalism in the face of such human tragedy. JFT96

Truly shocking series of events. From unfathomable tragedy to smear campaigns, manufactured lies, undeserved blame and callous denial of families peace.
RIP 96. RIP those who died fighting for the thruth.
