No, there were several causes, which included the crush of fans outside and the dilapidated nature of the stadium which hadn't even got a safety certificate.
But the MAIN cause, as Lord Taylor in his investigation pointed out, was the police decision to open the gates to let the fans in, THEN the complete lack of any policing to funnel fans away from the already full central pens into the emptier side pens.
That's negligence, not an accident caused by "drunk ticketless fans".
