    I could agree with you, but then we would both be wrong!

        That was my thought. What happens if they still don't like the answer?

            It was called 'steaming'.

              Nothing that a good bout of looting won't appease.

                What are they hoping the documents reveal?

                I thought the causes behind the disaster were well known and covered pretty comprehensively in that TV drama starring Christopher Ecclestone.

                Hillsborough (TV 1996) - IMDb

                From memory, it was caused by a central gate being left open, so when all the Liverpool supporters piled into the ground (having been delayed so were in a rush to not miss the kick off) they got funnelled down a tunnel into one section that couldn't cope with the surge.

                Not sure how accurate the reports of fans steaming the gates to get free entry are, but even so that wasn't the main cause.

                Then there were various Policing errors that contributed to the disaster (not opening a relief gate, not allowing ambulances into the ground, etc).

                Is the justice they want that the rozzers haven't accepted their part in the blame?

                  Don't forget the main problem was of course so many ticketless Liverpool fans trying to get into an area that couldn't cope with the extra people.

                  It was a tragedy, mistakes were made but I agree with the sentiment that I think that all round people will not like what comes out of the full disclosure.

                    I'm listening to inside northwest or whatever it is called on the TV right now.

                    Liverpool fans want justice? But what justice will there be in knowing they crushed their own. It was a terrible tragedy but I don't think the police can be blamed - but I'm sure if I was a LFC fan up close to the tragedy, I'd think differently.
