esoneulb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 It appears to me that Duckenfield is taking the 'rap' for this disaster I think it is because when it comes to the long awaited payout it will be an individual and not the SYP meaning not much money in the pot. Will any one of the thousands of fans who turned up late without a ticket be appearing at the inquest I wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 I see nothing new in David Dukinfield's admission this week that he made a mistake as he did this already in 1989. The only difference this week is that the questioner asked a question whether this mistake was the cause of 96 people dying. Dukinfield agreed, without qualifying the answer to include all of the things stated in post 1628 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ormester101 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 There is also the existence of that unforgiving pen to consider. It wasn't just the build up of the crowd, but where they went to. The Lep has space for plenty of people, but the design guided them all to the same, small space. No stewards, or police tried to alter that. I had the misfortune of almost ending up in the pen a couple of years earlier. I turned round, went round the back of the stand and stood under the scoreboard. How anyone could design a sporting arena like that is beyond me. That video of the fans exiting the tunnel into the pen is heartbreaking. very harrowing going down the same tunnel that many died Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asaw Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Should Duckenfield be gound giilty thus meaning he kept his kob does this not qualify to pay money back through the proceeds of crime acr i.e all expenses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordonb Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Think you will find that no one is on trial and therefore no one can be found guilty in a criminal sense of the word. I stand to be corrected on this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stand to be corrected on this point. You are quite correct, it is not a trail it is an inquest, not to say that he could face charges after the inquest has ended?

Guest sibon Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 very harrowing going down the same tunnel that many died At the time, it just seemed like part and parcel of being a football fan. That's what happened back then, you were treated like rubbish. Looking back, it was horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
