We were in that end for the 87 Quarter Final - and it was rammed.

I was held up by a Motorway accident so arrived at the ground at about 10 past 3. I ran into the central section but realised how packed it was and turned around and made my way to the marginally less full side.

If there had been people behind me (as happened two years later), I'd have been pushed into that crush.

Didn't think anything more of it at the time, but certainly did two years later.
I was in the centre section that day also and the crush was awful, walking out after I could barely walk, I had pins and needles in my legs as we were packed so tight in there, and anyone in there that day must of thought after the disaster two years later there but for the grace of god go I

His current side kick off at the same time so I doubt it
I will double check with my source! (did wonder when I read his message)

Edit: Fadz is out injured for the rest of the season - hence, he'll be at the Sheff Wed game.

Anyone else remember being there in the night game in 84 in the FA cup when we lost 3-2
South Yorkshire police corralled us in that passageway under the Leppings Lane stand . One of the few times I’ve been really worried at football and that was when travelling away came with its own weekly skirmishes. We had only brought about 1500 at most that night , but the police seemed to squeeze almost all of us into that tunnel after the game.
Never experienced a crush like it . That was clearly a common tactic back then.
Apart from that incident , Hillsborough has nearly always been a pretty happy hunting ground for us . But the feeling of being crushed that day, I’ll never forget

Have the club announced we sold the initial? Or is it that they've not opened another block yet

For anyone waiting on an announcement on the 2nd allocation, bear in mind for WBA they put them on sale without communicating (a friend missed out) so keep an eye on the website

They appear to have lowered the away allocation again this season. WBA & Sunderland both got 3.8K.

I'm not surprised, I went to the Friday night cup game and it was just a joke. I love Hillsborough as it still has something of an aura but the reality is the Leppings Lane end should have been demolished 30 years ago. The lower tier has only really been used again regularly over the past 10 years, it was mostly empty during the 90s and 00s.

Like the big quadrant to the left as you're sat in the away end.

As a short bloke, it's absolutely shite for standing up in.

Yeah totally agree. Cup game i was upper tier and will be this season but the league game I was lower and it was bloody dangerous.
