Packed in like sardines yes and a disaster waiting to happen. When you entered the turnstiles at leppings lane you just saw 1 tunnel that nearly everyone headed for. That was the problem pen. In '88, due to congestion, the stewards and police eventually prevented fans from entering this pen and ushered them to other entrances. This did not happen in '89. Also, in '88 a police corden prevented fans without valid tickets getting near the ground. This did not happen in '89. Maybe the police did learn some lessons to a degree in '88. They forgot them in '89.
 
I'm sure there's a lyricist out there who could put the words to the Micheal Jackson song 'blame it on the boogie's to sing to the liverpoLi fans next season

The points you make never happened for the previous year's semi final. Forest v Liverpool at Hillsborough. Why not?

Because the police had an operational plan that had been used successfully for previous games. The match commander for the 1989 semi-final had never managed a big match before and ditched the well rehearsed plan. That directly led to the build up on Leppings Lane and the overcrowding on the central pens.
