They're also a team that plays in a soulless bowl stadium like Middlesbrough, Derby and Bolton. It's like they don't really have their own identity, they just exist without doing anything.Reading aren't quite Leeds when it comes to atmosphere, let's say that.
I was referring to Reading in my last sentence, though reading it back I can see how it could be seen as referring to all 4 teams. Middlesbrough are a far better club than Reading in this context.
If that was the case my username wouldn't be what it is.
Unless everyone around you had no interest in football, you'd be influenced by them. For example I support Blackburn because my dad does, who in turn supports us because his friend in school did and he was invited along and was hooked.
Children's sizes cannot be sold with gambling company logos.
That opens up a whole new can of worms as to whether standing is inherently unsafe. I'm of the opinion that is isn't. Football grounds are far more sterile now than 30 years ago because there aren't 10-foot high fences at the front of stands and because a lot of stadiums have had considerable amounts of work done to them; and new stadiums have replaced old, crumbling ones.
Teenagers can buy whatever shirt they wish. If they're too big for a child's size, then they will buy an adult's size.
You can't help yourself.
I think I would prefer to listen to Lord Justice Taylor's opinion - I imagine he spent rather more time looking at the evidence than you did. (Although, still not enough).
That's not necessarily true. The disaster happened due to a number of factors, the nature of the terrace being one of them (not the fact that it was a terrace). If fans weren't caged in like animals then fans wouldn't have been trapped in and crushed to death. If standing was unsafe then it would have been outlawed at grounds at any level across the country. Instead it's only the top two divisions.
