Do share this thread if you see anyone still touting the long discredited theory that ticketless fans caused Hillsborough TLDR: Ticketless fans can’t have been a factor as there were fewer fans on the Leppings Lane terraces than tickets sold.

So forgive me if I can’t agree that 97 people died because an officer doing his best under immense pressure made understandably imperfect decisions - because it was gross negligence in both the planning and execution, followed by lies, more lies and outright corruption

Just a reminder that despite today’s verdict, it will always stand that: - 96 fans were *unlawfully* killed at Hillsborough, and - the 2016 Inquest jury found *unanimously* that fan behaviour was NOT a contributing factor to the disaster Nothing will ever change that #JFT96

@robbohuyton The false equivalence of comparing a couple of fans making hateful Munich gestures to thousands upon thousand singing Hillsborough songs, so that they clearly audible on TV, is mad. Both are terrible but just absolutely nowhere near the same scale

Fatalities were only averted then by the quick thinking of an *off duty* senior South Yorkshire Police officer, who ordered the emergency gates to be opened. The response from Sheffield Wednesday’s chief executive when warned that people could have easily died….”Bollocks”

This hypocrisy of this guy, who was jailed in 2007 for killing a 25 year old through his dangerous driving, is breathtaking.

@EGHjustice96 I’m so sorry mate for what happened, for your loss, for the way you were treated afterwards, for the false hope you all got in 2012, for this country’s broken justice system

In the 1987 semi-final, serious overcrowding was observed at the Leeds v Coventry match, with Leeds fans crushed at the Leppings Lane, despite kick off being delayed by 15 minutes

There are so many things wrong with this rant by J Goldberg QC but I just wanted to look at one particular falsehood in this...the assertion that there were ‘good’ fans who arrived early and died, and ‘bad’ fans who arrived late at the back and killed them THREAD

Astonishing, narrative being spread even today, by South Yorkshire police ex-solicitor's QC, of a "riot" by Liverpool supporters at Hillsborough. The inquests jury concluded in 2016, after the longest case ever, that no misbehaviour by Liverpool fans contributed to the disaster.

TL:DR Hillsborough stadium had a long history of dangerous overcrowding incidents, including near misses in the 1988, 1987 & 1981 FA Cup Semi Finals These didn’t lead to fatalities because, unlike 1989, police took effective action At least 1 fan had died there prior to 1989

TL:DR The Hillsborough disaster can’t have been caused by ticketless fans as it was scientifically proven that there were fewer fans on the terraces than there were tickets sold. The inquest jury found unanimously in 2016 that fans did not cause or contribute to the disaster

I’d like to clear this up…there is no evidence that fan behaviour at Hillsborough on 15.4.89 was any different to any match of the era. Let’s look at the evidence…

10,100 tickets were sold for Liverpool’s terraces The HSE estimate in 1989 was that 9,974 fans entered the Leppings Lane The 2013 engineer’s report found 10,044 fans entered So both exercises found there were *fewer* fans on the terraces than the number of tickets sold

@TransalpinoO If it hadn’t been for Rogan Taylor & his party from the @WeAreTheFSA photographing Gate C just after the match to show no damage, it’s entirely possible that SYP could have stuck to the ‘fans forced the gate’ line & gaslighted everyone Probably the reason the CCTV disappeared..

I’ve been asked a few questions about the CCTV tapes stolen from Hillsborough stadium on the evening of the disaster, so thought I would do a thread on it This is the crime report for the theft from 21/4/89 Note the double underlining of the “NO PUBLICITY” instruction
