Hillsborough do we show support at the next match?

[Doc Lynam]

Being a community club would it be appropriate or inappropriate to show support to Liverpool fans when Sheffield Wed come to town on Fri. Given that the tragedy took place at their stadium and it will be on peoples minds and a degree of media attention?

Just crossed my mind too...

Seems a little random... I know a report has come out today, but it was a few years ago now.

Sheffield Wednesday fans weren't involved so I don't see why. Come Friday I'm sure the only thing that will be on everyones minds will be football

Few years ago? Don't you mean 23 long Years. The families of the 96 have been waiting for this Moment since the disgusting verdict, of Accidental Death! How can it be random......

Seems a bit random for Brighton fans to be 'marking it' at a home match, 23 years later. Yes.

Would hope today's release draws a line under it to be honest. Not to say it should be forgotten, but Friday night is about a game of football.

Why get involved?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Why get involved?

To make ourselves feel important?

Without meaning to sound harsh, I agree with this. I think it would be correct for Liverpool fans to mark it in some way at the weekend but not us. What is important now is that action gets taken as a result of this report and that individuals are held to account for their actions, that for me is what needed.

 

[Albumen]

It's up to Wednesday I think. If they feel they're not connected enough (as it was their ground but not their fans) we should let it lie. If they however want to make a statement with a mins silence I think we should welcome it, as football fans.

You may well be right.

Echo this as well.

When we eventually find out today about what is actually in those Documents. Maybe a One Minute Silence has already been discussed with us and them, because if I'm pretty certain Sheffield Wednesday have one every single year, in April. But this seems the right time to do one on Friday, with the Information already handed out to the Press and the Families etc.

 

[severnside gull]

Perhaps we should boo Wednesday because their ground didn't have a safety certificate?

Seriously - there isn't much that we can do that would be appropriate in terms of time and place. My view would be to carry on as normal

 

[albion534]

Black armbands?

 

[Bwian]

Why get involved?

Why not? After all, there have been many Brighton fans on here always ready to blame Liverpool fans for what happened-maybe they'd like the opportunity to retract some of their comments?

I don't think we should get involved-it should be left to LFC and its supporters.

 

[dragonred]

not being callous, but it really has nothing whatsoever to do with anyone but Liverpool fans....unless anyone likes and gets some enjoyment from this mass collective grief hysteria that seems you have to be part of and display at almost anything these days, my view is Friday is a football match and that is the only thing I am going for....

 

[The Antikythera Mechanism]

A tragedy, yes, but nothing to do with us.

Blimey people, so much for Fans United
