[Mrs Warbouys]

I hear that all FA cup, premier league, football league and conference games are kicking off at 03:07 after a minutes silence between 03:06 and 03:07 for the 25th anniversary of hillsborough

[AltyTunnelSteward]

FA website indicated the top 5 divisions Pete

That would, I believe stop at the Conference National

That's the way the maths works out, but why stipulate the top 5 divisions?

[george]

The NON LEAGUE PAPER was spot on. It named each & every division which it applied to.

It's interesting that the further we move away in time from Hillsborough the more remembrance of it there is.

There hasn't been this escalation of remembrance for other tragedies e.g. Bradford, Ibrox etc.

to be fair the other tragedies you mention weren't caused by police negligence and then covered up by both corrupt police and goverment

True, but the Taylor report was published in 1990 cited police failures as the most important reason for why the disaster happened. This fact has been known for over 20 years so it doesn't really explain the increase in remembrance. Equally, I'm not sure the fact there was an attempted cover-up can explain it either.

The fact that there was a cover-up doesn't make the tragedy any more tragic and shouldn't really be cause for ever increasing acts of ostentatious public remembrance.

[GB Alty]

To be fair the Taylor report was just brushed under the carpet by police and government

The Hillsborough Independent Panel only concluded in September 2012 that no Liverpool fans were responsible for the deaths. It was only September 2012 that the police and government said sorry

[Jimmy]

Is it really such a hardship to go a game at 7 minutes past 3 rather than 3

[distancetraveller]

And the fact that certain fans from the club concerned are also happy to take the piss over Munich etc

I don't support either Liverpool or Man Utd, I would just like to show respect to 96 people who were killed at a football match

Tragedy is not a competition

The government didn't ignore the Taylor Report (which also pretty much exonerated Liverpool fans), in fact they went well beyond Taylor's recommendations in terms of requiring all-seater stadia etc. 

[GB Alty]

The Taylor Report found that the main reason for the disaster was the failure of police control

- that finding was brushed under the carpet by both police and government until September 2012
