Experienced the size stadium tragedy occurred in the 1980s, especially the 1981 FA Cup semi-final was almost home in Sheffield Hillsborough sudden murder events, South Yorkshire County police should have "fans of personal safety." As the number one focus of the 1989 FA Cup semi-final match day security measures. Security Outline, not this one.

1981 to 1987, Hillsborough lose eligibility to host the FA Cup semi-final.Period, the stands of the stadium renovated. 1987 Hillsborough regain the contractor of the FA Cup semi-final qualification. That year against both Leeds United and Coventry. The game kick-off at noon, the local police chief, Chief Superintendent Muir personally directed the work of the security. As commander-in-chief of the security of the race, he ordered in the opening 15-20 minutes delayed kick-off time - because a lot of fans on both sides remain in a rushed way to the stadium.

Despite Muir delay kickoff precedent, 1988 Liverpool ( microblogging data ) and Nottingham Forest in the semi-finals of the Security Commitments "did not mention the possibility of delayed kick-off", no mention of "should take the appropriate measures. " Nottingham from Sheffield close, the Forest fans speak to, but most of Liverpool fans across the Pennines lie in central England, trek over two hours late commonplace. This oversight is a security vulnerability.

Overall, the semi-finals in 1988, has not a big deal, but two little things impressive: the way to the stadium, the constant police intercepted fans inspection tickets, this is a so-called "filtering" program, delay fans arrive the pace; another piece of the stadium, many fans and when the value of the police officers in the central grandstand fence squeezed cruelly. Leading to the path with fence stands, is a tunnel with a slope opposite the tunnel entrance is a row of stadium turnstiles (each only enough for one person). The semi-finals in 1988, after the Police the guardrail District sold-out, close the tunnel fans diversions to both ends of the floor stands sit.

Pedantic "Security Outline why the police did not experience the 1988 semifinals security grouped into the following year's semi-final" Security Commitments? It seems that no one can explain the problem. Liverpool and Forest in the 1989 FA Cup semi-finals once again be able to get together and race Address Hillsborough. As a result, the Police Security Outline of the previous year out, slightly modified reissued inside spelling errors have not been corrected. Security Commitments "includes a 12-page overview, signed by the person in charge of Competition security, there are the specific duties of the police officers on duty each squad.Each squad is usually 10 police officers led by a sergeant, the squad each title.

Whether there is any dispute after the police to ensure the personal safety of OTC fans, this is indisputable. But the outline did not set out specific how to be responsible for the police, and only mentioned the face of the bombs early warning and fire should be how to disperse the crowd: senior police officer with a password code word through broadcast Steering evacuation. As for excessive Admission fans, the stands are too congested, or how to handle emergencies in the stands, the Outline and did not account. 21 police officers circling deployment, kickoff, halftime and the end of the show (as well as the stands riots) must stand up and face the audience, they have to pay particular attention to those who want to turn over the railing into the stadium, circling the iron fence must have been remain "locked".

The venue, there are another two teams police, 10 people per team, led by a sergeant, two behind the goal points placed mainly responsible for the control of the banners, weapons, alcoholic beverages and sundries throwing their duties is not responsible for the personal safety of the fans but to control the order. Even in the face of emergency evacuation, the task of the police officers, but also led the fans through the security exit to leave the stadium. Four small teams of police in charge of the revolving door at the center of the field, they are just the venue of the order.

Security Outline a matchday maintenance order into military action. Liverpool fans were aboard the trains, buses, mini-buses and private cars to the ground, stepped into the moment from the South Yorkshire police tracking, guidance, random spot checks and body searches and a series of monitoring to the stadium. Size buses and private cars from time to time by the police to stop, the police want to see if you have any drunk before deciding you are not suitable for admission to the ballpark. Checked the vehicle will move on with the label of "experience", but most of the vehicles because the check delay time.

When the fans towards the stadium, their freedom of movement because of the way the streets closed quiet restricted Force will set up roadblocks along the over-the-counter lined up to ensure that the diversion of a different ball club's fans and friends in the stadium tracing move is unrealistic. Security Commitments, most of the local bars will cooperate with the police, agreed to from lunch until dusk closed their doors. Even a handful adhere to business, must also ensure that the must not let fans into Maizui. Obviously, the police start to finish alcohol as the number one security threat given sufficient vigilance did not delay the kick-off, open the outlet, stands against Central continue Exalted, and close the tunnel, there is no over-the-counter crowd and the revolving door at the congestion emergency plan. Command is issued based on past experience, their intentions are good, but far too optimistic. The police did not learn from the first two years of practice, focus only on monitoring the behavior of the fans, but did not attach importance to their well-being.
