What that report doesn't mention is that the Juventus supporters were also culpable. I remember watching it all unravel and the Ultras spent a good hour or so before the match goading Liverpool fans, throwing missiles at them etc etc. Juventus aren't blameless in that tragedy and sadly most of the victims were Italian.

I watched the documentary...can't say 'enjoyed' is the right word....


Absolutely rotten and heartless - the lies they told to cover themselves up and the additional pain they put the families through.


What is the is about a minute silence at football matches for Maggie thatcher?

West Ham had stickers all over the place reminding people to act in a civilised manner.

Did other grounds have the same stickers because I did not travel to away games and the only other ground I visited was Clapton F.C.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?

"We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
