I went to the WBA away game as a 9 year old and was very lucky to survive the crush exiting the ground with only bruised ribs, a similar thing happened at Barnsley when the only opened half the terrace and it became very uncomfortable before they decided to open the other half, the writing was on the wall for what was to happen at Hillsborough a few months later, grounds were a death trap back then with little thought for the fans safety..
