All, this is a Chelsea season ticket holder coming in peace (no, seriously, I am).
I didn’t want to post on your forums at such a difficult time, but once I saw this thread, I thought I could post here (really sorry if I’m offending anyone by posting here, being Chelsea and all that…).
I know our clubs have had quite fearsome rivalry of late and some bad blood, but I wanted to let you know how shocking I and other CFC fans (I know at least) have found the recent revelations.
I never, ever joined in with some of the terrible songs my club has sung about that terrible day, during the 70s and 80s, an accident like this was waiting to happen, I remember a lot of CFC away trips where similar scenarios have happened (but luckily not as bad as Hillsborough).
In-fact, on that terrible day, we were coming home from Leicester where a large amount of our fans were almost crushed (but all well thank god).
Regardless of being Liverpool fans, 96 football fans went to watch a football match and didn’t return and that could have been any one of us during that football era.
Now you have the truth, I do hope you get the justice you deserve.
I’ve purchased YNWA on iTunes and I hope it gets to No. 1 in the charts this week, you should do a campaign at Christmas too! I’d happily buy it again!
Al, Chelsea fan from London
