Yet in both finals the same mistakes were made (plus the same fixture in 1988 between Forest and the Dippers) - the mismanagement of the crowd meant the central pens were overcrowded. So how far was the venue responsible or was it the continual mismanagement of the crowd by the same police force.It absolutely was a factor as it almost happened at the Wolves/Spurs semi final in 81 (footage on YouTube of this) and the semi final wasn’t played there again until 89.
One thing the FA were responsible for was not checking Sheffield Wednesdays safety certificate was up to date.
