baw 4,360 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Hillsborough disaster inquests to open Long-awaited fresh inquests into the deaths of the 96 people killed in the Hillsborough disaster will begin today. Most of the day is expected to be taken up with jury selection for the hearing, taking place on the outskirts of Warrington, Cheshire, which is expected to last for several months. There are due to be opening statements from the coroner and the families this week, with background "pen portraits'' of all the victims being presented to the court over the next month.

Themoocher 231 Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Im not trying to hurt anyones feelings or disregard the thoughts of familys and friends involed in the tradgedy It was a very sad and emotional day for a lot of people. But I think its very hard to compare the disater that happened that day with anything today. Dont get me wrong there is people liable. Football terraces have changed so much since the 80s. The amount of people that use to jump the gates for free or get in in the second half. The list is endless. The coppers or stewards shouldnt have opened the gates. It was the done thing at footaball terraces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
