I actually feel sorry for the man and suspect he's been made a scapegoat but I have to say I feel DCI Brian Marjoram, recently exposed on Manhunt, the man in charge of my prosecution and wrongful conviction, should e in the dock for allowing Bellfield to kill and maim so many others and Surrey Police deserve prosecution for institutionalised corruption.

Duckenfield is beneath contempt, but I would sooner let it lie now.

Maybe a scapegoat who made fatal mistakes.


Against a background of:-


- a totally antiquated stadium

- dangerous terracing and pens

- non-existent crowd control

- unrestricted drinking, during and before

- inadequate marshalling/inexperienced and insufficient police

- turnstiles from a bygone age


This event was essentially a result of a flawed system for large entertainment events - which was soon rectified by all seater stadiums etc.


Went to a Premiership game recently - the security was not unlike Heathrow, but with more CCTV.


Should you blame the person in charge - or the system, at the time.



Correct verdict is the latter...
