re: 30 Year Anniversary - Heysel Disaster

Yes it was very sad. Hooligans attacking the Juve family section. It pretty much what lit the fire creating violent Italian Ultras we see now.

What makes it worse is that English football didn't learn its lesson. Hooligan culture got worse while teams had been banned and when they were allowed back in went on a complete rampage.

You think after seeing how a ground not kept to a standard fell apart with a large crowd, people in UK would have looked at their own stadiums to prevent them falling apart. But nope it took Hillsborough, Ibrox and the Bradford City fire for action to be taken. Issue is they took to much action. All seat stadium in the top 2 divisions and no beer drinking if you can see the pitch. The terraces are a thing of the past in the UK for the big clubs unless the play away to smaller club in a cup.

But while in mainland Europe stadiums got improved all while keeping the terrace which in part kept the atmosphere. The Ultra sections in Germany are very safe and you can drink beer and watch the game in the top 2 divisions( 3rd and lower they don't allow it bc of Ultras beating the shite out of each other)

So now many fans here would rather go on away trips bc its like being in a terrace every standing for 90mins and non stop singing.
