from the sound of that the ground was too small to accommodate everyone who wanted to come.

couldn't the two bosses of the football clubs work that out.

i used to gig all round Hillsborough - on an ordinary match day the roads around were all choked up right up to the motorway turn off. unless things have changed in the last ten years - the whole place is a no go area. Right down Rushby Road. A gig on Saturday - you had to add forty minutes to your travelling time. You don't see many cops around. i think in a way - its too big an area . too many cops would be required to police that. i think maybe they just wait for the madness to subside - like all of us.

if you compare say to Aston Villa or Derby where you are dead near to the express way and the motorway.

the fans were relying on these guys to know their business.
