Still sends a chill through me every time I think about it.

It could have been anyone who stood on an away terrace in the 70s and 80s.

Rest In Peace and may you get the justice you deserve.   

Seconded. I hate to say it but if had been any other sport, the truth would have come out through a full, open enquiry. The problem was/is, they were only football supporters. I really hope the families get closure on this in the very near future. Twenty two years is a shocking amount of time to wait.

RIP.

West Ham away? Forest? It could have been us both before and after that day.

Resonates for anybody who remembers that day because as said it could have been us. Justice one day.

Justice for the 96.  There but for the grace of God go I.  And quite a few others I suspect.

Any one of us.

As football supporters I suggest you read the Taylor report into what happened that day.

R.I.P all of them. I remember the day well and it was horrific.

To be honest, i'm not keen on the word Justice. Answers and Closure yes which is what they deserve and should have had by now
, but Justice sounds too much like revenge to me. I'm sure others will disagree with me though and given the delicate nature of the subject, that's fair enough.

1994. There was a bit of a crush in the first few minutes.

The next report from the Hillsborough Independent Panel that was set up by the last government will settle most things. The families finally have access to all records and documents  from central government, local government and public agencies including the police, ambulance service, fire service, coroner and Sheffield City Council. They have full disclosure and have been given exemption from the 30 year rule with very few exceptions.

There's none of this stopping at 15:15 bollocks, it covers everything including the stuff around the Taylor report, the Stuart-Smith review in 1998-99 and the private prosecution in 2000.

The families are happy with the the panel led by the Bishop of Liverpool and have a direct input into how the information is released. The initial findings must be due for release pretty soon.

RIP. Can't think of anything else to say that hasn't already been said.
