That's where we differ then - you are posting emotionally, I am doing it objectively. Nobody involved actually got out of bed thinking "I'm going to go kill some football fans today". In terms of compassion I have probably as much compassion for the victims, their relatives, witnesses, those...

Why......?

Think about the deaths in that nightclub fire in the the not too distant past - people desperate to get out of the burning building at the back, only one exit route, crushing people in their path. Hillsborough was similar in reverse - loads of people trying (less) desperately to get in, through...

Shocking response more like. No, I am not suggesting that at all. Read it again.

Maybe this is SISUs visionary approach? Soon there will only be need to televise our games as so few claim they will attend. If try play a Nuneaton/Hinckley - & televise live...they get income!!!

So was it respectful behaviour & consideration for others, or just pure luck that stadia such Hillsborough & it's Leppings Lane End had been filled to the brim by fans from many clubs for many a year before that with much less incident? Or pure bad luck - or the fault of the safety...

You're absolutely right. Hence the first FA Cup final I have watched live for about 5yrs...just lost interest in the main.

Yes I was there...& you are right it COULD have...but it wasn't - there was trouble abroad with many of our clubs too...but always seems to be Liverpool fans where it goes really OTT, but it's never been their fault!

Yes...almost makes me want to wear one too..! Although I guess it must be a thought somewhere in their minds - which is why they want to divert attention. It now seems that the powers that were played right into their hands.

Yes...that LC semi! Remember it well :-|

Ahhh...it was one of several VERY grand days that season.

I think the "big" clubs have so much more resource available that they've monopolised the final in recent years. The JPT offers the little clubs a taste of it - so happy for the & the play-off finals to be held there. the National Anthem & Wembley steps are things they could retain purely for...

THAT is one of the main reasons why I revel in Liverpool's demise & hope they never reach dizzy heights again! It's never their fault though. Even the poor innocents that died at Hillsborough...I wonder if any of those that went to the pub & arrived late, then chose to push & shove their way in...

In fairness Bernstein was on TalkSport the other day all but openly recognising that the magic of the cup risks being lost as things stand. He felt that train specials to ease fan's journey home might be in order...but 3pm KO may well be a thing of the past due to the global appeal of the FA Cup...

Well that's the first final I've watched for what seems like 5yrs after losing interest due to the de-valuing of it as an event...the kick-off time, dull 0-0s, the relatively predictable contestants, the Wembley steps changed, interviews for TV taking precedent over celebrating with the...

Fair point - though extremely trivial in the grand scheme of things related to our club. What about other clubs official sites? Do the show such detail (can't be arsed to look personally)

I'm sick to death of people polarising every debate as pro or anti SISU. SISU might have at the time of the bail out thought to themselves...hmmm cheap loan to take on if we manage to buy in at some point should all go well, & ammunition to support our case if things go wrong - so silence was...

I was born & raised in Walsall. My dad has been a Walsall fan all of his life. He took me to my first games there. Only later did I become a SB. With that in mind, Walsall is a team/club I have affection for & I am always pleased when they win (or lose against us! :-)) If I had the money &...

Anyone considered that he is playing hardball himself? With SISU??? By going public he might be giving them an unfair opportunity to find wriggle factors or discredit his findings...they may be equally frustrated by his silence with them.

It might not have anything football related beyond questioning if Fergie should be made a Lord...unless some ardent SB fan has an opportunity & finds it irresistible!
