Thought the PLC was closed down, but re-opened a couple of years ago pending an investigation? Sure the PLC would still be linked to the club we know today. I'm no business or legal expert though!

The PLC was disbanded shortly before our relegation from the Premier League as we didn't have a pot to wee wee in, and were not making enough for it to be financially viable if I remember correctly.

He couldn't give a monkey's about the victims and is just desperate for us to get punished in some way so that dem blades can be above us. What a moron he is.

I find it difficult that the enquiry did not find the fans partly to blame, they didn't have to do what they did at the ground. Then again, it would have caused public outrage. Also, there were lots of Liverpool fans in the Gateway carpark at 8.30am as I walked down to do do the weekly grocery shop. Rumour has it that the Pheasant had been drunk dry too having just received a new delivery. Don't even start me on the politician who made clubs put up fencing in the first place and wasn't even considered in the inquest. A fair enquiry? Not in some respects Some of the above is what I don't like. The reports of drunken fans. Fair enough the victims might not have been drinking but to say drinking of other fans was not a factor is a bit naive. Also ticket less fans. I still am thankful I didn't swap my shift with a Liverpool fan who wanted to go , he didn't have a ticket but told me him and his mates would do what they always did push the gates until they were let in or the gates gave way.

It was dissolved in June 2011, Milan bought Sheffield Wednesday fc limited. The old board dissolved the PLC. The PLC was reinstated a year or two ago due to a compensation claim. It's currently listed to be struck off again. There are no directors in the PLC either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, It's probable those who got in early hadn't been drinking and they were some of the unfortunate people at the front, or at least pushed there, but to totally exonerate all fans is suspicious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 Sheffield Wednesday PLC, which was the registered company back then, are no longer operating i believe. I would also imagine CC and MM have had lawyers all over this since day 1. I sincerely hope the families get justice. There has been a monumental cover up, and those behind it need to be brought to justice. The things i've read about our custodians back then is disgusting to be honest. And then in later years a particular chairman wouldn't even have a memorial built - offered a plaque next to some bogs. I hope our club's name is not dragged through the mud again....at no point have media outlets explained we're completely different now. Owned by new people, run by people not even around back then, supported by thousands of fans who weren't even born. Start showing the faces of our old CEO and Chairman rather than our logo.

I would imagine they must be fans who've admitted entering the ground without a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No fans did that , it was quite clearly established that the fans are in no way to blame , that's the truth and the whole truth especially if your from Liverpool.

daveyboy66 Posted January 13, 2017 Share Posted January 13, 2017 You've got to remember that one of the findings was that the police perverted the course of justice by altering statements to put the blame on the Liverpool fans...my guess is that the majority of people prosecuted will come from that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
