RAWK and the CPS announcment
« on: June 28, 2017, 10:11:50 am »
The CPS are announcing who they have decided to charge over Hillsborough this morning some time after 11am (they are meeting with the families at 11am). We are going to lock down much of the site for the immediate aftermath.

We do not want any more that the names and the charges on RAWK. We will not do anything to prejudice a fair trial for those charged. As the highest profile Liverpool fan site, the defence teams will be reading RAWK and looking for ammunition to claim an unfair trial. We will not give it to them. We have waited over 28 years, we can wait a little longer until after they have had their day in court.

We appreciate that just about everyone behaved during the inquests and don't like closing down discussion on the most important issue for the club, but the end result justifies it.

Any way this could be made more public across RAWK?

Im am probably not the only person to have messaged a mod asking why I cant post only to see the post in the main forum afterwards.

I hope the defence lawyers are wading through the transfer thread, should put them right off trawling through the site!

No, but we are making a big deal of it now, to drive home the message about the cases now being sub judice.

Quite correctly. As a fanbase we must do whatever it takes to ensure that this case is not prejudiced by careless online chatter.

Well spoken SP and other mods/old guards; I guess we mess around petty/stupid issues from time to time, but the editorial/official stance from RAWK on the matters that care I just follow..
It’s not even about individuality, it’s about the team. Our game was based on his controlling of the tempo. Squeeze the life out of the opposition and then strike. That is our game. Like a pack of pythons.

Seconded.  Yesterday was emotional and I wouldn't have blamed anyone for letting off steam, so it was vital to close the board down.

Did you cope not being able to post for 24hrs or so?

There is another option. Mr Ferguson organises the fixtures in his office and sends it to us and everyone will know and cannot complain. That is simple.
