  1. Us at Spurs in the FA Cup in 87 was supposed to be very similar. 12000 went down for that and were shoehorned in by all accounts, with some fans having to escape by climbing to the top tier. Am sure there are some fellow old-timers on here who may well have been there (I listened in on Metro) just reading back through this thread, i posted about that very match, got seperated from my dad in the crush- it was mental, i watched it from top of a fence, just to get out the crowd, as a skinny 19yr old.

    hope so, when it comes to them suffering, im a greedy bastard.
  4. ive thought for a long time, it was a combination of factors, bad/ unsafe stadium design....penning people in the middle sections. poor policing, hindered/ influenced by the behavior of fans during 70s and 80s pissed fans turning up late without tickets. put the three together, recipe for disaster. RIP Liverpool fans that were lost- it could have happend at any big game around that time,looking back the warning signs were there, they were the unlucky ones.
  5. Does the TV money not cover our existing wage bill? I thought gate money and sponsorship would be used to cover that. Combination of the two? What are our gate incomes these days anyways? No idea, I just know we have a big stadium which is more full than most others and we've reduced our wage bill quite drastically over recent years. Weren't we in a situation where wages >80% turnover a year or two ago? In fact, didn't this go higher (wages exceed turnover) in our Championship year? May not be exact with the figures. my turn to get the popcorn

    maybe they hoped people would forget the score if they turned it off ?
  11. So you must have left before Gosling had that chance one on one with your keeper then? didnt thier keeper tip a long range shot over the bar? Yeah a beaut from Cabaye. didnt barton tuck one away? but it was off side- should have been 0-3 then in fairness.
