Default 15 Years today since Hillsbourgh.....

I was parked on a hill at Oulton park with Radio City's match commentary on, watching the cars racing around the track. A perfect day I thought.

As it all happened I couldnt believe my ears.

Seems like only a couple of years ago.

Absolutely hideous - I can't imagine what those poor souls went through.

Cheers

I knew people whose lives were devastated just by being at the ground watching it happen. God only knows what the families of the victims must have been through.

I was meant to be going that day, but my mate was unable to make it, so we didn't go. Was sat in car at a local footie match listening to the game when the horror unfolded

The flame burns on in rememberance of the 96

Justice for the 96

We should all take a moment to remember those who died and pray for those that lived through this tragic event. RIP.

Sadly I was there stood in the opposite end.

Have some very bad memories, the worst being all the dead bodies that were lined up in front of us on the pitch. The most striking memory was when we were let out of the ground, I have never before or since seen as many emergency vehicles. On the bus back to the train station there was total silence.

Lots have been said about who was to blame the late arriving supporters or the police. What is certain is those who died at the front were total victims as they had arrived in plenty of time to get to the front. Very sad day.

I was just thinking that I was 7 when this happened and I still remember it clearly to this day. I certainly don't remember many things from 15 years ago but I am sure no-one will ever forget Hillsborough.

I was 17 at the time, me & my dad were listening to it on the radio, whilst decorating my mum's lounge. I can still remember sitting there, totally shocked

And thanks to the scandalous behaviour of the s*n sh!tpaper, to this day nothing produced by Rupert Murdoch is allowed to enter my house

So, so, so sad

I have a few friends whose families have been wrecked by the Hillsborough disaster.
