Did they just sell too many tickets or what
>>
>>66843592
the entrance to that side of the stadium is a bottleneck, and there were not enough turnstiles to handle all the fans that showed up to make sure they got in before the match started

and then the fuckhead cops didn't bar off the entrance to that terrace when it was very obviously packed like sardines in a can. that should've been done before they opened up that gate to ease off the mass outside
>>
>>66843941

It was an accident really though, a lot of fans turned up hoping to scalp tickets outside the stadium and when they opened the gate to relieve the crush in the street they all tried to get into the stadium for free.

Police didn't do their jobs. As much fun as it is to meme that it was dirty scousers, the police had a duty that day and failed to do it.

you have literally no clue what you're talking about

crush is such a dangerous situation due to the fact that the ones causing it have no way of seeing/knowing just how dire the situation is for the victims. due to this, it will inevitable progress into a fatal scenario nearly every time without proper handling by authorities

this was solely on the cops/stadium staff

literally the entire reason you have so much of a policing/stewarding presence at sports stadiums is to organise crowds of tens of thousands of people so this sort of thing doesn't happen.

ABLs will always say it was Liverpool fans trying to get in without tickets, but frankly there's no real evidence to prove this, and the issue was lots of fans entering at the same time right at kick off, because there was such a poor job done outside the ground to get the fans in at the correct speed that they ended up flooding a load of fans in all at once, causing the crush

A variety of causes can share blame for the disaster.
The Sheffield Wednesday stadium had an out of date safety certificate and had been altered in such a fashion that made it more unsafe which hadn't been checked.

The FA didn't give Liverpool the larger end of the ground when they requested it despite having a larger support group. They also failed to act upon knowledge that serious overcrowding issues and dangerous crushes had occurred at 4 prior games, including one involving Liverpool fans just a year earlier in the same bit of the stadium.

The police however probably take most of the blame on the day, the match controller was woefully inexperienced and had no idea what to do, the Police had knowledge that their were roadworks on the main road between Liverpool and Sheffield, and that trains were running late, and yet chose not to delay kick-off.
The decision to open the exit gate was made to preserve life outside the stadium, but no effort was made in terms of crowd control with the police having not closed the door to the tunnel to the pen and being present to divert the crowd to the empty pens at the side.

The fact that the police then saw the fans being crushed but didn't communicate with each other in a professional manner, severely hampering the recovery efforts, and then after the match proceeded to orchestrate a monumental cover-up is scandalous.
>>
>>66849208

You could still climb and hang there as opposed to getting squished to death.
>>
>>66852908
The fans at the front were being pushed so tightly against the fences that they couldn't even breath in, let alone move their arms enough to climb.
Additionally the few that did have the capability to climb found themselves at first being pushed back in by the police, before efforts were made to start pulling them out.

"Justice for the 96" is a laughable idea, it's more keep have inquiries until we get the outcome we desire.

because it wasn't just straight forward, police changed and lost statements so they made it up as they went along. now the truth is finally coming out..

'Goldring has directed the jury that to reach a verdict of unlawful killing, they must be unanimous, and satisfied that the South Yorkshire police officer in charge of the event, Ch Supt David Duckenfield, “was responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence of those 96 people”. '

not being edgy as the organization was terrible and the police made mistakes on the day but it really pisses me off that the fact that scousers without tickets basically forced their way into the stadium has been whitewashed from history. you realize there are still enquiries and court cases going on to this day? take some fucking responsibility, lose the fucking always a victim complex and maybe just maybe everybody would be over this by now. also Heysel.
>>
>>66843592

No, it was Liverpool fans without tickets who turned up drunk. They were causing a massive crush outside the stadium, trying to get tickets from touts or push their way in.

Police opened the outside gate to relive the pressure, but they all ran in, pushing the pressure further up into the stadium, pitchside.
>>
>>66869256

Unfortunately it was the ones who paid for their ticket and arrived on time who ended up getting crushed by their fellow team supporters who you described aptly.

The disaster wouldn't have happened at all if either proper crowd control had been implemented or if the fences weren't there.
Terraces are very much still a thing in other sports in the country, and in football abroad and they're not inherently unsafe at all, indeed the Taylor report after the disaster highlights this.

Police handled the situation poorly and just let people squeeze in. They opened the wrong gates etc, let people in without tickets.

And at the other end people trying to escape the crush by climbing over the fence were forced down. Overall they fucked up.

It's more fun to memepost about >96 though
>>
Tell you what is shit, the campaign groups, Spirit of Shankley and that, are opposed to Safe Standing because of Illsbreh.

Despite the fact it is closer to individual seating that proper, piss-stained terracing.

It was a shit day and South Yorkshire Police have to take a lot of the blame, but Boris Johnson was right, Scousers are hooked on grief.
