Guest sibon Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 5 minutes ago, West 77 said: Such nonsense as blaming the design of the stadium for the tragedy is almost laughable given the fact the stadium was a regular semi final venue for big FA Cup matches until the tragedy without any serious problems as a consequence of big crowds. That is untrue. There were problems at the 1981 semi final, amongst others. I attended a game,on the away end, two years before the disaster. I got half way down the tunnel and turned back, scared. The tunnel led to a central pen with no side exits, the crush was horrendous. Absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To not blame Liverpool fans at all for the tragedy is ludicrous. Such nonsense as blaming the design of the stadium for the tragedy is almost laughable given the fact the stadium was a regular semi final venue for big FA Cup matches until the tragedy without any serious problems as a consequence of big crowds. Rational people acknowledge mistakes were made by the police on the day and rational people also acknowledge if a proportion of Liverpool fans hadn't behaved in the manner they did then their wouldn't have been an issue for the police to deal with. More uninformed nonsense . https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-27614689.amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sibon Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 7 minutes ago, West 77 said: I clearly stated no serious problems. In the decades pre 1989 football stadiums had far bigger crowd numbers attending matches without any massive deaths occurring due to crushing. Your're a bit late to the party because Mister Sibon got his googling in earlier than you to find the story of no deaths as a consequence of crushing. No need to google. I've been attending that football ground since the 1970s. The 1981 event was serious enough to get Hillsborough banned from semi finals for several years. A result of bad design and poor laws. You can make up whatever you like. I'll continue posting accurate, informed stuff and leave the provocative nonsense to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prince al Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) What was the Real Madrids fan’s experience. Did they have counterfeit match tickets on a Industrial scale? I believe their organisation of their travel arrangements to the ground was more efficient. By the way I think that this incident is open to criticism of some of the fans.

Heard some reports that they had more gates open for those fans so less of an issue getting in. Also heard some of the fake tickets were sold via big ticket resale sites. I doubt the fans were intentionally buying fake tickets, more likely some group was pumping these things out and ripping people off en-mass.

Funny how people jump on with these tired old tropes and then when presented with facts just disappear. shameful like I said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
