the one question that still hasn't been asked is why did the police felt
The previous years the police filtered the crowds 100metres from the turnstiles and checked tickets because it was a known bottleneck. In 1989 they didn't. People who arrived at 2.30 were still waiting to get in at 2.55 and by then they had two thousand others behind them. Edited by Kermit8 (01 Apr 2014 9.36pm) Factually wrong? So there were NO drunk Liverpool fans pushing from the back and recently opened gates, trying to get in?
What's your point?
I'm well aware of what a bottleneck is and results of unmanaged actions, I'm also capable of posting without resorting to personal insults. My point was that whilst the OP was a little direct in his 'statement of fact', you completely deny that anyone was drunk as if it wasn't even possible. That simple action still happens to this very day, pissed up supporters turning up at the last minute, trying to 'speed up' the queues to get in. Edited by paperhat (02 Apr 2014 3.33pm)

I get that, I really do. 100%. I don't want to be misunderstood and run the risk of sounding naive or ignorant. I suppose ultimately, my personal opinion is that IF there were to be a display or banner, it should be about the people.

I understand where you're coming from paperhat, and don't mean ever to become personal, but, like Kerms suggests, you may be misunderstanding the position here. Yes, of course there are silly little drunk boys at matches, no doubting that. The question is, and particularly at Hillsbro', what do those who are responsible for containing these problems, to do about it? At Hillsboro' what they did was criminally incorrect and resulted in tragedy. Further to that, they have hidden that evidence, knowing if they were ever found out.... they even sent a 'misreport' to the then Prime Minister. Our remonstrations, if there are to be any, must take that into account.

Previous evidence has shown that a publican testified that his pub ran out of beer and that there was video evidence showing Liverpool fans climbing over the turnstiles to get in. Yes, the police, stewards etc got it wrong, but some Liverpool fans did not help the situation and probably were the initial spark that caused the disorder by turning up late and creating mayhem trying to get in. It is naïve to think otherwise. It also goes without saying that the 96 were innocent victims of crowd disorder, mismanagement by the authorities, police and FA. We learnt a lot from Hillsborough and today's matches are a lot safer from the lessons learned.

I don't really think there is a refusal to accept the fact there were drunk fans (from L'pool) at Hillbro'. The point is as stated, the situation was totally mishandled and in a criminal manner that the police have tried to cover up. Any safety at football matches must be placed not at the door of legislation nor the actions of stewards or police, but with those who have kept up the pressure on the authorities to realise the liability of those who have tried to wriggle out of it by over stating the state of the drunks there.

Thankfully, this new inquest will find out exactly what happened and who was responsible for the disaster. Then all this "blame the victims" bullsh*t can be put to bed once and for all and people will have to accept that it wasn't the fans' fault as to what happened that day. For the sake of the thread topic, I see no reason for a banner but will obviously respect any silence or other memorial the club or authorities decree as suitable.

Kermit seems to think that is 'factually wrong' - THAT was my point. Hoof put it in a much more concise and direct manner. It wasn't just te fans at fault, neither was it just the authorities. Getting back to point, if it were to commemorate the loss of the fans and we were playing Liverpool that day then fine, maybe a banner would be the done thing. We're starting 7 minutes late, having a minutes silence and playing a team from birmingham, let alone the fact that people seem to think its more prudent to start a backlash against the Police lest anyone forget what happened that day.

There were many 'pissed up scousers' as someone called them, pushing from the back and the gates were opened. But it was the innocent people at the front, who had already got in who were crushed.

Liverpool's nasty fans were more fond of Uncle Stanley and nicking stuff. You want to believe the Liverpool fans are just as much to blame I am guessing even though the evidence says not? That smacks of social prejudice if so

3pm kick off on a Saturday? Of course alcohol on peoples breath was present like there would have been at every other ground that day. The 'drink' is incidental. I wasn't intending to insult btw. Just asking a very direct question because your initial post made me wonder?

That is what I said was factually wrong - "Your opinion is factually wrong" I replied Haven't mentioned drink, have I? You did. Edited by Kermit8 (02 Apr 2014 4.46pm)

The OP stated that in his opinion, p1ssed up scousers caused the problem, you then go on to say that his opinion is factually wrong, therefore factually, the p1ssed up fans were nothing to do with the cause. So, whilst you didnt specifically didnt mention alcohol, you quite clearly confirm that in your opinion it wasnt an issue. And yes you were clearly intending to insult, at least have the balls to admit that.
