A sobering read this. Fifty years next month since the Ibrox disaster.

And there had been previous near disasters at Ibrox & other grounds, and even this didn't lead to real improvements in safety until we had Hillsborough & the Bradford fire.
I remember the incident being reported on the news & they said it was caused by supporters trying to turn back to return to the ground after the late goal. I'm wondering if this myth was put around to deflect blame from Rangers, rather like the Hillsborough fiction about the gates being broken down.

Awful read. As a kid, I remember being swept along in crowds, with my feet way above the ground, thinking "If I fall now, god knows what would happen". What an awful way for those poor supporters to die.
