I know it’s been swept under the carpet, but Liverpool were known to turn up at games without a ticket, it was done the year before at the same venue and I remember clearly Liverpool fans trying to get into Wembley with no ticket v Everton in the 86 Final. There were even some fans on the Wembley roof.
but it wasn't brushed under the carpet. . umpteen inquiries have found there were not large numbers of LFC fans without tickets. and the original line about there being this large number was a lie and has been admitted to being a lie..
blaming them is as bad as blaming the police..
the real problem was how people behaved at football over the years preceding this tragic event which elevated stopping hooliganism over safety and led to fences and pens.
Can you explain how these enquiries found there were not a large amount of ticketless Liverpool fans that day as I can't see how they could possibly knows this. I presume no one was asked to produce a valid ticket after the incident so how could anyone know how many there were. When the gates were opened ticketless fans could have entered the ground. I would be genuinely interested to know the methodology behind making this statement.
Also what does not a large amount mean? Was there a medium sized amount of ticketless fans inside the ground if so what is the estimate of how many. In a sold out end even a few hundred would extra would cause problems. Interesting to note they are using a vague phrase rather than try to give a number.
At end of day only fans who should have been in that area was fans with tickets, so why didn't they wait to go in why was there the crush/rush to turnstiles if had tickets? they would have got in before game started? No problems at other game and similar crowd! Sorry I just dont buy this they all had tickets when clearly there was more fans than should have been trying to get into ground and that contributed to the disaster.

Answer me this fans who went through turnstiles had tickets ...but how do you or experts ect ect know what fans had tickets or not outside ground? only way that could be established was to physically see tickets Did that happen Doubt it did? whilst no evidence to say there was no ticketless fans but also there was no evidence to say they had tickets was there? .
