Michael_W Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Wrong. It was brought up time and time again, to the club, to the FA, by fans and by police, but it was ignored. Why was it ignored then ? Would'nt that be because nobody had considered the consequences of 'serious overcrowding' then ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael_W Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 You forgot the decision to open the gate which was big cause number one. As for crowds turning up in time for kick-off, when do you expect them to turn up? After the final whistle? The day before the match? They turned up then because that's when all fans turn up if they can. Proper stewarding and policing could have dealt with this. That's what the role of stewards and police is. Since when has insufficient turnstiles been cited as a major contributory factor to the disaster? Had there been a reduction in the number of turnstiles from previous years? If the police and stewards had been outside the ground they could have controlled people. Putting the kick-off back 15 minutes would have helped. Read the reports, the number of turnstiles was contributed to the build up outside the ground and the time taken to get x number of fans through them ! I have not forgot anything thankyou, and I was at Oldham too pal ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeMaquis Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I have not forgot anything thankyou, and I was at Oldham too pal ! You didn't mention the decision to open the gates which was the most important cause of the disaster. If you didn't forget it you obviously left it out deliberately to make excuses for the coppers. And I've never been in a football riot like you, pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the gates had not been opened,how many do you think would have been crushed to death,yes it was a massive mistake but a difficult choice had to be made.

10sheds Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 So there were no Liverpool fans in the Park Hotel with no tickets who decided that they would force their way in to the Leppings Lane end and left there at 1455? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Vader Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well there you go then my dear expert ! Not really, it's easily found in 'the reports' that you urged LeMaquis to read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
