Leppings lane end till about 20 mins to go and by then that end could not physically cope with the numbers going through hence the crush starting at the front. With what happened the previous year and those fans being in the ground earlier I spose the police assumed wrongly that the same would happen this year and the fans would trickle in rather than stand around outside. I spent many an hour as a youth wedged in the barclay and it was not much fun at times so I understand the reason for that. I also took time to read the report so don't try and be clever - by impatient I meant that a large number of fans thought it would be easier to get in than was physically possible because the report states that as it got closer to kick off time the fans at the front trying to get in were getting squeezed.
