The truth will soon be known and with Suff like this Mike it can’t fail to make “people’ think then think again… we have ALWAYS known THE TRUTH Well done Mike Y . N W. A. X
hello mike…as a survivour from that fateful day would be more than happy to contribute in any way i can.ive gone n record after doin`the l.f.c tv one ,along with the christian spooner one i wouldnt do any more….but almost feel like its my duty..many thanks..ynwa,96.
Just read this and wonder if Mr Duckenfield contacted you at all. Will be interesting to see if there are any developments after the revelations of today !!
Duckenfield is too much of a coward for that, he will have to be dragged into court. no respect for the 96 at all.
well done Mike.
as a Sheffielder working as a taxi driver that fateful day all I can say is the Liverpool people I moved around in my cab (for free) were decent sober honest folk who deserved better from the people who were supposed to manage their safety.
The SY Police Commanders of 1989 are a disgrace, perverting the course of justice is a serious crime – arrest them now.
Duckenfield and his colleagues should be charged with 96 counts of corporate manslaughter due to professional negligence.
Hello Mike,Just to say that i was at a league cup replay s wednesday v chelsea previous to the disaster and was crushed against the wall to the left of the leppings lane turnstiles there was one mounted policeman who s attitude gave me the impression that this very frightening crushing was an almost weekly event and just par for the course to try to get several thousand away supporters through two or three turnstiles. i had a ticket for the seating above the standing area there was a turnstile labelled available for the seat ticket holders but it was impossible to get to it due to the crush or to even choose a turnstile. you either somehow got pushed towards and through he turnstile or were crushed, in my case i got in before collapsing, this area of the ground was indeed an ” accident”? waiting to happen.

I have always had a degree of sympathy for the police there on that day and it appears that this was justified in that venue was vastly and completely inadequate for crowd numbers, someone who was not experianced was put in charge just few weeks before (turning his life around for the worst) so thanks for telling this side of the story. I remember watching the disaster unfold live on tv and wondering why when people were so clearly in distress, police response was so slow. But people do freeze under extreme pressure..
I still find it hard to see sections of the ground that were not crowded in coverage, but this may be due to fact most filming shown is of the Lepping Lanes terraces.-so perhaps part two will deal with this.
Did anyone do research/investigation into the number of fans there and possible overselling of tickets? or was this deemed to be acceptable level. It appears unlikey that fans would have turned up without tickets, as in the past had to undergo two ticket checks at that venue as clearly explained by the fans. Footage showing other terraces would demonstrate whether venue on whole over filled.
My heart goes out to those who lost friends and family and the horrific nature of their deaths.I was not aware of the vilification of the victims, perhaps because I don’t read the Sun and have always felt they were victims of bad decisions/judgement by match organisers.
I did believe the stories of drunk, unruly fans…which unfortunately was quite plausible given our history of football violence. I also believed fans turned up without tickets, but mainly because there seemed to be too many people …I look forward to seeing rest of your research/documentary. I don’t mean to cause offence by any of my comments , just trying to reflect how someone unconnected to the event observed things through eye of media.
as an evertonian i can only commend both yourself and the families of the 96 who died for your tenacity and commitment to justice. we will always be enemies off the pitch but the one thing we share is that the ” truth ” of hillsborough would one day come out. that day draws nearer and nearer . living proof that we should never give up on what we believe is right. JFT 96.

I believe Lord Leveson should continue his enquiry into the wrong doing in various athorities
which deprived the victims families from the truth
Just watched and think your work is honest and thought provoking, it should be seen by as many people as possible. Well Done.

Probably not for a year or so, because after September 12th, the story is still being lived.
