The guy in charge seemed to freeze, the police refused to let ambulances in then ordered 164 statements to be changed and checked blood alcohol levels of all victims even the 10 year old and performed criminal records checks which is absolutely disgusting. 41 families, who were previously told there relatives would have died quickly are now being told that if the reactions of the emergency services had been better some if not all could have been saved. This is the most shocking thing to come out this week. It was an accident waiting to happen as there had been problems the year before and in 1981 and no doubt several other occasions. It's not really relevent which team it was people going to any football match should be able to watch it and then return home safely.
