I met with the HFG many years ago when the FSF started the safe standing campaign.You say understandably, but im not sure I agree. Safe standing makes football safer, and anyone who lost family in a stadium disaster should support it.
THFG should know better than anyone what caused Hillsborough, and it wasn't a lack of seats.
Whilst we didnt agree, the one thing about them was they were consistent. They didnt want standing anywhere - 3rd and 4th divisions, rugby and other sports. I asked them about standing on trains travelling at 100 miles an hour....
This would have been maybe 2002. No idea what their view is these days as there doesnt appear to be a vocal opposition to rail seating either that or the media have stopped asking them for quotes.
Within the FSF we often said the answer to the HFG had to come from Liverpool fans themselves and in the end it did.
