It does appear that there is a nucleus of Liverpool supporters
(unidentified) who do travel to matches played away from Liverpool
without tickets and cause severe policing problems. At the end
of the day, rather than soak up Police manpower, it is felt better
to allow them into the ground, if possible, rather than them cause
havoc in the town, their team is playing. Whilst there is no
direct evidence to support this, the fans do appear to know this.
In the case at Watford where numerous ticketless fans arrived
they did imply that if they were not granted admission to the
ground they would go into Watford and cause havoc.
. The usually unspoken message is, if you don't let us in we'll cause havoc in town.

I'm confused, are you supporting the obvious propaganda that the Liverpool fans caused the deaths, or are you suggesting a completely ridiculous conspiracy theory whereby it was all orchestrated to get seats into stadiums, to make men sit down at home, to prevent them from protesting against the "NWO globalist agenda".
Whatever the point to this thread, there's no actual evidence to support any of it.
There is, however, a hell of a lot of evidence to show that the police failed to control crowds, subsequently made the DISASTROUS decision to open the gates, causing a massive crush, and then proceeded to lie about everything that happened that day with the full cooperation of Thatcher's f-ed up government and the right-wing tabloid trash.
The ONLY people to blame for what happened on that day are the police. Those responsible for the propaganda and the cover-up of the facts after extend to the media and the government. They should all be in prison already.
The fact that these facts are being exposed is due solely to the determination and dedication of the thousands of family members who would not stop until they saw justice, and for that they should be praised.
Without them this would have been covered up forever and we might never have known just how disgusting Thatcher's government and her lap-dog press (the SUN for instance) were, and how the Police lied to the public to protect themselves and each other for the murders of 96 people.
...the Taylor Report on stadium safety standards, which proposed expensive upgrades to create all-seater stadia in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster, was published in January of that year.[10]
Television money had also become much more important...
