I think this is largely because of the continued sense of injustice, rightly felt as it turned out, of Hillsborough. Bradford was a tragedy. Hillsborough was a tragedy compounded by years of cover up and smears by the authorities.

I don't think this is fair either. The 25th anniversary isn't being used as a 'cheap way' of trying to get support for them. It just happens to be a compelling narrative that people latch onto. It would make for an emotional side-story of the season for Liverpool to win the league again 25 years after Hillsborough during the time that the original verdicts were quashed and a new inquest opened. The story of justice finally being achieved for the fans dovetails nicely with the resurgence of the team on the pitch.
I don't want Liverpool to win btw but that's why it's brought up. Not to guilt people.
