blackmaggie 3,377 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 kid most grounds in the lower leagues had the wooden stands with wooden flooring they were like long wooden benches I think a fire was always a great risk at that time its just ashame it had to cost lifes before something was done to change it 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Astanley 11,634 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Hillsborough isn't , brought up continually because it was any worse or more important, than Bradford , it was a fight for justice that kept it in the public eye , and keeping it in the public eye was the only chance those families had of getting justice . I agree that the PL the FA and even the individual clubs need to look at themselves for not marking the anniversary nothing short of shameful. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 31,421 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I remember us getting a horrible welcome in Cagliari at the World Cup 1990 by a bunch of Juventus fans they just wanted English blood......i remember seeing flags written in English that said........." Sheffield - Gods Will "................i never quite got that out my head and always made me wonder if Liverpool ever really did enough about that. 3 horrendous tragedies in such a short space of time very sad time for football.

Astanley 11,634 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 Heysel was a shameful thing for Liverpool ,and it wasn't made any better by the shabby way the club handled it , your right , they could have done so much more , they didn't officially apologise for over 20 years . Over the years its been fans groups that made all the efforts and approaches , there is still a lot of Juve fans who wont have it , and who can blame them ? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Seeker 3,048 Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 I I think the TV football presenter Gabby Logan was in the ground that day as a little girl. Shame there is not respect for those dead lads and lasses that we're at the Bradford ground. Tragic day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No stan the real shame is the The c**ts who let the game be held in a ground Not fit to play a game of that magnitude were not made accountable. We rely on safety. Guide lines. Heysel should never been used simple , as for lfc and juve dont think for one minute that any money changed hands for. Tosh rush !!!!!!!
