Yes I've seen documentaries. Yes I went games away around that time. Yes I've read a great deal about it.
Had we been there that day, the front of the central pens is exactly where I would have taken my lad, we would have been there early enough to get a place. It's a sobering thought.
The policing in those days was horrendous, anybody knows who used to go to games in those days. But, please tell me, how fencing was allowed to be erected to keep people in?
Apart from the fact that we weren't the best behaved back then, the biggest thing for me was when we had to wait for Thatcher to pass before they could undertake the review.
It wasn't just the Police to blame, every fan and governmental department needs to hold their hands up and take a stake in this. The report would always hit on one area, just to put this whole sordid episode to bed, but there will always be those who can still have an educated opinion on what went on that day, what had happened prior, and what was to come.
