Hannibal, I'm not going to insult your intelligence by explaining just how many supporters turn up at massive games without tickets. I'm sure you are well aware of this.
How many Seagulls were outside Highbury looking for tickets in 1983? Hundreds if not thousands.
Football fans will travel without tickets to any game anywhere in the World. Liverpool were allocated 25,000 tickets for the final in Istanbul in 05. Nearly 60,000 were in the ground.
The South Yorkshire Police would have been fully aware of the problems beforhand and did nothing. As has been previously stated, they allocated the much smaller Leppings Lane end of the ground to Liverpool, knowing that their numbers could be anything up to double that of Forrest.
