The 'Wayback Machine' link is to the official legal report into the disaster. Well worth the read, it's a long legal document but easy to read and well written.

The real question is...... who gives a fuck?

Football fans deserve to be hurt. It's an overhyped game with a rabid and over-enthused fanbase. Fuck 'em.

I was only 5 at the time but still remember seeing the footage on the news. It was probably my first experience of watching humans being injured and dying, which I found exciting 😂.

The Owls’ stadium is around 5-10 minutes away from where I live and I often drive past it on my way back from work on later shifts.

Well, you've totally destroyed my post with that.

I'll spend the rest of the day in tears...

Hillsborough was merely karma for the Scousers atrocities at Hysel a few years beforehand.

I think all the stadia are seating only now.

The spectators haven't changed, just how they're herded is better now...
