My initial thought after hearing the news of that terrible tragedy was how steep each stairway actually was plus the height of it from top to bottom compared to the likes of the exit stairs at ER Stadium. IMO it was very poorly designed as an exit stairway all these years ago with such a steep hill on either side of the outer rails.
There were serious accidents there in 67 and 69. The club actually went to the trouble of getting an engineers report but did not act on the recommendations.
