It makes you shudder to think about it. My thoughts have been with the families of those involved today. Its all heartbreaking stuff but will we have to go through this all again in 5 years? Why not? My family still suffer with the loss of my uncle at Ibrox and that was 38 years ago. The scars still run deep. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmojorisin75 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 there was a very good article in one of the broadsheets about kenny dalglish and the effect it had on him, i was pretty young at the time so it made interesting reading indeed, basically broke the man Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I saw bits of the ceremony and that it was a great tribute. Well done LFC and their fans. I read about 3 of those letters on the Liverpool website but if I'd read anymore I probably would've cried.....very touching letters. Not sure I even made it through three without welling up. Watching the footage this week has been quite surreal for me because Dave and I went right past Hillsborough twenty minutes before Sheff Wed's kick off on Saturday on the way to Stoke (first time I've seen it) and from the outside, it's never changed one bit. Were you lost?! Hillsborough has barely changed, its very dated. Needs a right good lick of paint. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to hear that but you don't see minute silences being held left, right and centre for the Ibrox disaster and it being the lead story on all news channels.

Dave Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 We went through the Peak District on the way there instead of the boring motorway, Ally. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggs Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I remember in the early 80's being in the Leppings lane end and had no bother before the game or during but after the game ended all the toon fans vacated the stand ll at once on a boiling hot day and given no warning by the police to stay in our seats or on terracing so we all filed out into a walled area behind the stand with the exit gates to the streets still locked so the sheffield fans could disperse which was normal policy back then and probably now,with there being no gates open everyone behind just kept coming out without knowing the situation we wereall being pushed around and at times being young i couldnt control my direction but being on a wave off my feet and that wasnt just me.A police woman was helped on to a outbuilding to get out of bother and smaller kids the same ,looking back it shows how easy this sort of thing can happen.

Shearergol Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Watching the documentary on the history channel last night got me thinking about what would be different if the crush would have happened but nobody died? Would the changes to stadiums have happened? Or the fences come down? It's heartbreaking that people died, but as with most disasters, it's lead to a safer environment for football fans these days.

RIP to be honest shearergol, if it hadnt happened at hillsbrough, it would have happened somewhere else, the fences at the fronts of the stands in the 80s were a disaster waiting to happen.

Can't remember the details but remember a couple of women being carried away with injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest north shields lad Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 I watched that service the other day and cried, must say, i looked on a liverpool site today and that Trevor hicks who made the statement is not the most popular bloke amongst Liverpool fans.
