On the 15th April 1989 in the UK, supporters just like us went to see their team play a game of football as Liverpool played Nottingham Forest in a FA cup semi final.
96 Liverpool fans tragically lost their lives as a result.
Many people had friends and family at the game, much the same as most sporting events (even ones that you and I get to?)
Bear in mind it was well before mobile phones were carried by everyone but try to imagine how they felt on a Saturday arvo when the TV went quiet and then this went to air in homes around the country…

I’m sorry if this post is “just another sad storyâ€
We are, unfortunately at the moment, presented with such terrible tragedy on what seems to be a continued and regular basis.
However, I’d like you to think about your friends and familiar faces on the Hill or your favourite part of the ground…those that you’ve had the craic with on the bus or at trips to Melbourne, QLD or even NZ…those that you catch up with or bump in to at the game.
Those that you plan to meet with once or twice a year at games….
Imagine those in your friend group on facebook or twitter….
Imagine how such a tragedy would impact us and our community?
These are the people (and how old they were on the 15th April 1989) that went to that game and didn’t come home…

Shortly following the disaster The Sun, one of the biggest selling tabloid newspapers in the UK printed many lies about that tragic day, putting the blame squarely on fans and their supposed atrocious behavior.

Stephen Smith a local musician from Liverpool has recently released an album which contains a track called 'Liar, Liar' which he has just released in an attempt to get it into the UK charts for the week leading up to the Hillsborough Disaster.
There has been a campaign by fellow Liverpool fans to help get the song into the charts and to raise awareness of not only the lies told by The Sun but to maybe even bring that deserved justice to those family members that one step closer to reality.
I’m joining the call to ask people to download the song to help bring awareness of the tragedy and the pain and sorrow it brought to a much wider audience and push that fight for justice one step closer to completion.
Stephen Smith has said that whatever he personally makes from it will be donated to the Hillsborough Support Group.

The track cost $1.69 – read the above and then listen to the song
