And heres another one.
Just got back an hour ago - but i've got to admit that by 1pm i was less concerned about getting my tickets and more concerned about simply surviving! Even i found it difficult to breathe in the car park queue and i am a big bloke - God knows what the women and children were going through. I was in pysical pain toward the end due to the constant crushing and was on the verge of dehydration.
The young police officers there did not have a clue what they were doing - saying that, i really doubt if the the sergent did either. They seemed INTENT on causing a riot, rather than protecting the fans. As i was being pushed into a copper, he grabbed me by the throat and started screaming at me to stop pushing and started strangling me, literally. WTF was i supposed to do as i was at the FRONT being pushed by hundreds of fans surging forward?
It was the most uncomfortable situation i have been in for some years, and certainly raises questions about West Yorkshire Police's Logic.
I would go so far as to say i was genuinley scared for mine and other peoples safety.
...and as a number of fans rightly pointed out, it brought back terrifying memories of Hillsboro'.
It was that serious.
