Correct Ritchie.
It is not about Clubs, colours etc but about those fans (and their families heartbreak) who went to watch a football match and didn't return. Safety in general at many grounds was disregarded for many years.
Disasters at many grounds were waiting to happen ( many of us will remember crushes and dangerous moments from different grounds) and its a pity safety wasn't taken more seriously within the sport as a whole until another disaster in Sheffield in 1989. Similar to Ibrox, problems had occurred before, throughout the 80's at all the semi finals hosted at Hillsborough with various crushes and people taken to hospital from the Leppings Lane end but no one died so nothing was really altered,.......until the disaster of 1989 .......and then safety measures were looked at properly throughout the whole sport.
Thoughts go out to all fans who lost their lives, who just went to watch their team and of course their families who had to deal with their loss.
