The post above is in many ways accurate and reflects the way many on Merseyside felt about how people viewed the events at Hillsborough and now we feel vilified.
I have stuck to my guns over the years even when people had tried to say otherwise about those events and that is because most of those people were never affected by those events, many people on Merseyside either knew a victim or a survivor and have heard their stories and recollections of that fateful day and those memories stay with you even years later.

it wouldn't have been much of a cover up if nobody believed it and as i said earlier in the thread ,given the reputation for violence and drunken disorder that football fans including liverpool fans had at that time it wasn't hard to get the general public to believe it .Those not involved in football, and strange as it may seem to you that would be most of the country had no choice given the available information but to believe the police .
