As a mark of respect and remembrance for those who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough stadium disaster in April 1989, all FA Cup, Premier League, Football League and Football Conference matches taking place on the weekend of 11-14 April will kick-off seven minutes later than originally scheduled.

 

The match at which the disaster took place, The FA Cup Semi-Final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989, was ended six minutes after kick-off, at 3:06pm.

 

The first FA Cup Semi-Final on Saturday 12 April between Wigan Athletic and Arsenal will now kick-off at 5.07pm with a minute of silence between 5:06pm and 5:07pm.

 

The following day, Sunday 13 April, will see Hull City v Sheffield United begin at 4.07pm with a minute of silence between 4:06pm and 4:07pm.

 

In the Premier League, Football League and Football Conference, matches due to kick-off at 3pm on Saturday 12 April will now kick off at 3:07pm, with the minute before kick-off (3:06pm to 3:07pm) seeing a period of silence observed at all grounds.

 

Fixtures kicking-off at other times on Friday 11, Saturday 12, Sunday 13 and Monday 14 April will observe the same etiquette with matches starting seven minutes later than originally scheduled.

Is it just me, or is everything below that unecessary? Maybe add a small line that a minute silence will be observed before the seven minute late kick-off?

Not to sound disrespectful by why is this happening? Is there any significance to this year and Hillsborough?

Makes me happy to see that in this day an age a s***-poor team still can be successful by playing cavalier football. Hope they can stay in the division again. Best of all is how the fans have stayed firmly behind him all these years despite the occasional drubbings and the relegation danger.
