I remember the League Cup semi back in 2012 when a fatal RTA en route to Liverpool meant loads of City fans dropped on the ground much later than expected and there was an issue with the turnstiles on Anfield Road which further compounded the situation, which led to crushing outside, yet the police didn’t give 2 shits, instead blaming the fans for “turning up late”. You’d think in light of what happened in 1989, if there was one police force in he country who you would expect not to adopt that attitude, it would be Merseyside police.
I only found out a few years later that just 6 weeks or so after that incident, there was a similar situation when your team played there in the derby. It doesn’t take much for things to go wrong there with it being a narrow street, and with a large away contingent today it wouldn’t surprise me if there were issues again.
