fans in danger of crush at Hillsborough

Quote from a Mags fan:

'The concourse was absolutely packed 20 minutes before kick-off,' he said. 'The gangway to the seated area was too narrow and there were two stewards checking tickets. There was ** the classic rush just before kick-off ** and that was when it became quite scary. Nothing was moving at all."

The casual referral to "the classic rush just before kick-off" is probably of some relevance here.
And, from memory, isn't Hillsborough a 'sit-where-you-like' stadium?
