My dad tells stories of being in crushes back in the day where he could pretty much take his feet off the ground and not fall over such was the crush from either side. Quite honestly it’s amazing that these incidents didn’t happen far more regularly.[/QUOTE]
I know what your Dad means.
I was at Ipswich v Arsenal in the early 80's and the middle pen (of three) was left empty in order to separate the two sets of fans. By around 2.30, the Arsenal bit was packed and people started to argue with each other because of the crushing.
Eventually, the Police opened the middle section and created a line next to the railings between us and the Ipswich supporters.
Someone used a bit of common sense that day. To be fair, Hillsborough was an accident waiting to happen for many years :(
Yes. That was my point earlier in the thread.Quote:

They were, I'm sure, being idiots. And I'm sure chancers without tickets had turned up.
So were that partly responsible for what happened? Yes, I'd say they were.
BUT...those sorts of things were happening up and down the country every weekend. Groups of fans were behaving like bloody idiots all the time
The police's job was to manage that. And on this occasion they didn't, and a load of people died.
As you say, it was always going to happen. Just like Bradford's wooden stand was probably always going to cause a fire one day.
Was the fans' behaviour a factor? I think it probably was. But I don't believe there was anything uniquely bad about their behaviour on that day.

I guess that a tragedy like Hillsborough, Heysel and of course Bradford was all too close to home.
People should not die at a football match, end of.
No one factor was to blame at Hillsborough, that is why no major prosecutions were handed out. It was a terrible collection of unfortunate events :(
Football suspended until April 30th now.
Looks like they’re going to try and complete the season with the Euro’s out of the picture.
Arsenal undefeated in March and April :bow:
They should definitely suspend K**t and Sonofabitch when it restarts for the period of time they'd have needed to recover if we'd just carried on.Quote:
