sorry fella but going to football then was different .. loads turned up ticketless at Hillsboro that day and blagged the turnstiles as we all did in them days.. just an honest opinion.. not saying it was an overriding cause but it undoubtedly happened.
For my own peace of mind, would you mind quoting the source for this statement please. I've checked and all I can find is this from the original 1990 Taylor report:
(Lord Justice Taylor) accepted there were "small groups without tickets" looking to "exploit any chance of getting into the ground". But the main problem was simply one of "large numbers packed into the small area outside the turnstiles". He stated categorically that "fans' behaviour played no part in the disaster".
Which after 2 years was exactly the same conclusion reached at the end of the Warrington inquest.
