  1. So her actions a month before she became the CEO of Sheffield Council has no bearing on her future integrity, accountability, and honesty? Rubbish. She has previously denied accusations of breaking the regulations in place at the time, but under the threat of being outed by the upcoming inquiry has now ‘apologised’. If her actions had come to light at the time do you think she would still have been given the CEO job? No. She wouldn’t. She has clearly broken several of the 7 principles of public life that people working in the public sector should adhere to. She should resign and I have written to her to ask her to do so. I have also written to my local councillors.
  2. On a Friday night, 2 weeks before Christmas, on Sky, at £33 a ticket??? No chance. About 1500 probably.
  3. No we won't. The club have been very shrewd with the use of loans (with an option to buy) and spreading the cost of players that we have bought over the next few seasons. So our transfer spending for the season is only about £15 million (not dissimilar to yours?). We have also bought young players whose value should icrease, so reducing the danger of being left with players on big wages who we can't shift if they don't do well. So not so much of a gamble. Having said that it looks like after the start we have made we will make some loans permanent in Jan and will strengthen again to try and finish what we have started.
  4. I got one at Argos Kilner Way on Monday. Ordered and paid online the day before. Worth a try.
  5. If you are genuinely worried about the Trust's fire procedures you can contact the Patient Servives Team who will direct you to the person best qualified to address your concerns. Telephone on 0114 271 2400 Via email on PST@sth.nhs.uk As others have said there are robust plans in place which include both compartmental evacuation and the use of fire lifts. All staff are required to undertake fire training as part of their induction to the Trust and mandatory yearly update training. Speculation about an individual member of staff's level of knowledge probably isn't very helpful in the current climate.
  6. Disgusting. But nobody listened when the Remain campaign buses warned of a little pen shortage if we left Europe.
  7. Blaenau in he rain has to be one of the greyest most depressing places on Earth!
  8. Surely the job of a journalist is to report fact and not libellous accusations.
  9. Star reporting of the disaster; http://hillsborough.independent.gov.uk/repository/docs/PRE000000030001.pdf
  10. The Star printed the same allegations, albeit with a less dramatic headline. They conveniently seem to overlook this, even when recounting the Sun's reporting of the time. They printed a small apology in the Star and Liverpool Echo after I wrote to them; https://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9182871
  11. This article on the BBC website may help dispel some of the myths that keep surfacing on here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-35473732
  12. Read back though this thread. The number of fans who entered the ground was calculated from turnstiles and from CCTV. The numbers did not exceed the numbers of tickets that were sold. This is the type of real evidence that has been used during the inquest. They didn't try and ask everyone who was there if they had a ticket.
  13. Does this add anything to your "common sense" view? "In the investigations that followed the Disaster, detailed in Report IR/L/ME/89/34 (you can Google it for a PDF of the Report), the HSE spent weeks making a very thorough, exhaustive, and I daresay fairly tedious study of data from the stadium’s admissions system and from closed circuit television recordings from the security system to establish approximately how many people had entered the Leppings Lane terrace on the day. There were two main points-of-entry; the turnstiles, obviously enough, accounted for most of the admissions, but due to growing pressure on the turnstiles by crowd build-up, approximately eight minutes prior to kick-off, a concertina exit gate (‘Gate C’) was opened by the police in the hopes of preventing a major accident, allowing the remaining fans still queuing up to enter. The conclusion of the investigation was that 7,494 fans entered through the turnstiles with an outside possibility that 7,644 might have entered that way, allowing for malfunctions in the admissions counting system. How many entered after the gate was opened could only be established by studying the CCTV footage. This was of course far more difficult to calculate, due to the images on the footage sometimes being too unclear in such a large crowd to make out for certain how many people were passing through the exit gate at any one instant; sometimes it looked like there might have been someone entering, but with so many others around, it was difficult to tell. The HSE therefore offered three figures at its investigation’s conclusion. One made the assumption in all of the uncertain situations above that there was no one there. The second made the assumption in those situations that there was always someone there. And the third, considered the likeliest, or at least closest, total, gave the median figure of the first two i.e. it assumed that in half of the uncertain situations there was someone there, and in half that there was not. The three estimates thus reached were as follows;- Lowest possible number… 2020 ‘Best’ possible number… 2240 Maximum possible number… 2480 This led to three possible attendance totals for the Leppings Lane terrace as a whole; – Lowest possible number… 9,267 ‘Best’ possible number… 9,734 Maximum possible number… 10,124 And it needs to be re-iterated that the total ticket allocation for the terrace was ten thousand one hundred."
  14. Couple of break ins around Loxley Road this evening so presume the helicopter is responding to that.
