HILLSBOROUGH By Barry Thompson I am writing on behalf of March 4 Justice, a group formed to bring football fans from all clubs together in telling the government that the continued injustice of Hillsborough has gone on too long.
As you are aware, Hillsborough is the single largest football disaster in the history of football in the UK. The families of the 96 football fans that died on the 15th April 1989 are still looking for answers over 20 years later. March4Justice asks that football fans across this country, regards of affiliation, put aside their on pitch rivalries for one day and stand united in delivering a petition asking that Hillsborough be re-investigated. The group, petition and event have the full support of the Hillsborough Families Support Group and Hope for Hillsborough and has been covered extensively in the media. At the 20th Anniversary Memorial service, the government promised to do all it can to help the families of the 96, to this date nothing has been done and it is with the blessing of the families that the march is taking place. We would like to ask if you would be so kind as to feature the march and the petition on your website, or mail your supporters' groups. We understand that many people will not be able to march but if everyone would fill in the online petition then maybe at last the families will have the peace that they have fought so hard for over the last 20 years. The website for March4Justice, has details of the march, links to the online No.10 Downing Street e-petition and printable petition sheets. The site also have an information page giving details of what happened at Hillsborough including the terrifying fact that before the tragedy of 1989 supporters of other football clubs were crushed (although not fatally) in the same stand at the same stadium. This tragedy could have happened to any club's supporters and any one of us that have families could have had to go through 20 years of hurt and frustration.
