It's a myth put about and perpetuated by c**ts

The Health & Safety Executive (HSE) studied the CCTV footage after the disaster, in order to try and ascertain how many supporters had entered the Leppings Lane end of the ground.

The capacity of the Leppings Lane end in its entirety was 10,100.

The HSE supplied three estimates of the number of fans who had entered that day based on video evidence. The first number was 9,267 fans were inside; the second ?best estimate? was that 9,734 were inside and the maximum number given was 10,124. The problem clearly wasn?t that there were too many fans, it was simply that too many fans were in the central two pens.

These are all facts. Cast iron, totally verified, facts.
