Joe. Posted 5 December 2006 Posted 5 December 2006 A good video but I don't agree with some of it. Saying that all seater stadiums have ripped the life and atmosphere out of the game is crap. All seater stadiums are for people's own safety. Football fans are still as passionate about the game now as they were 30 years ago.

I do agree however with the anger at price inflation though.

With all due respect to the families at Hillsborough it was not the direct result of standing. In the main it was caused by over crowding in a standing area and the fencing in of fans. If the stadium was built correctly and the numbers controlled the risks would be minimal. Passionate fans have stood in large numbers at football gronds for over a 100 years, pretty much all serious accidents, and there have been relatively few have occurred due to those two factors. Bear in mind for 80 of those years there was no segregation.
