    FA to look into overcrowding at Hillsborough

    Surely this can't be true! If so someone needs removing from their position.

    Can’t see how you can overcrowd an all seater stadium. If you have 3,000 seats then sell 3.000 tickets.

    I think it was fans in the lower tier not sticking to their seats and squeezing in to be in the middle.
    This happens at most games, we see it at NYS when away fans stand in the gangways to get behind the goal and be near their mates.
    It doesn't help at Hillsboro that there are the feck off posts obstructing your view, so I'm sure a few moved to be able to see the game.

    Hospitality vs stoke we were crammed in like sardines. Redic.
    We were promised prawn sandwiches not sardines.

    Might also be correct that the amount of fans allowed in was the same number for the amount of tickets sold, in other words they may be just whinging because they lost.

    Was thinking same, it generally happens at away games when full
