After 27 years I am not sure what the verdict can achieve, the families said after the 27th anniversary that there will be no more public displays of remembrance, and I hope that now people have the answers a closure can be brought

As one who used to go to away games in the 80's, what it might achieve is an admission that the police basically didn't give a toss. There but for the grace of God, etc...Originally posted by SimonMac View PostHis heart is in the right place - shame we can't say the same about his brain...Comment

Amazed it's been covered up how vile away football fans were back then. Liverpool and United had some of the worst fans in the country (and that's from a United fan).
I feel sorry for the innocents who lost lives; anyone setting out to genuinely watch a football match should return home safely.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Fair point - but that may be just because that was what was expected. Police were incompetent. The football specials weren't that special.

No CCTV, so no recriminations from either side. Massive them and us attitude back then.Originally posted by Mordac View Post
I'm still astounded that they treated the 96 en masse. To clarify, there were, in effect, two sets of deaths. The most shameful thing is that you only see one ambulance in the stadium. The police prevented a further 43 ambulances entering the stadium. Estimates were that up to 41 of the victims could have been saved if they had been allowed in and treatment given. While all 96 deaths were a result of the crush, the police clearly have the blood of at least 55 on their hands for failing to allow the ambulances in. The rest are due to the decisions made.
The biggest unknown is how many would have died at the turnstiles had Gate C not have been opened. A very embarrassing day for SYP.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment
