Deaths at Hillsborough never the fans' fault.

There was almost a similar tragedy in the same pens 8 years before in a semi final between Spurs and Wolves. Spurs fans were getting crushed behind the goal and Police on duty opened up a fence to let fans sit around the perimeter. The terrace and its pens was a confined space death trap. Or do you really believe the same group of "pissed up fans" turned up to both matches? How ludicrous.
