Supporters Club

[Mick R]

I've posted a retort on the Sky News website to somebody insisting that we accept our portion of the blame for what happened on 15th April 1989, but another person has posted with a comment about the Supporters Club.

Their claim is that the Supporters Club encouraged supporters to go to the game even without tickets, in response to us being allocated the smaller end of the ground.

I don't believe this, but wondered whether anybody could confirm this one way or the other.

The original piece is quite good, actually - I apologise to the writer for sounding surprised, but I hadn't expected a piece like that to appear on Sky...
