	Heysel Stadium disaster Information
		The Heysel Stadium disaster was an accident that occurred due to football hooliganism in which a retaining wall of the Heysel Stadium in Brussels collapsed on May 29 1985 during a football match between Liverpool F.C. from England and Juventus FC from Italy.
		Despite the scale of the disaster, it was felt that abandoning the game would have risked inciting further trouble, and the match eventually kicked off after the captains of both sides spoke to the crowd and appealed for calm.
		Heysel Stadium continued to be used for hosting athletics for almost 10 years, but no further football matches took place in the old stadium.

	Stadium - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		A modern stadium (plural stadiums or stadia in English) is a place, or venue, for (mostly) outdoor sports, concerts or other events, consisting of a field or stage partly or completely surrounded by a structure designed to allow spectators to stand or sit and view the event.
		An exception is the basketball arena at Duke University, which is called Cameron Indoor Stadium and the old Chicago Stadium, former home of the Chicago Blackhawks of the NHL and Chicago Bulls of the NBA.
		The term "stadium" has also often been used for a baseball park, especially since the construction of Yankee Stadium in 1923, which had a running track initially, as a "true" stadium would, and was also used for football.

	Heysel Tragedy - Liverpool FC - Liverpool FC - LFC Online
		The decrepid stadium in Brussels was unsuitable to hold such a major sporting event, and the authorities were heavily criticised for their lack of organisation and poor ticket allocation ahead of the game.

		Since Heysel both clubs have made attempts to heal the wounds caused by the tragedy and many Liverpool fans are determined to not let the horrors of 29th May 1985 ever be forgotten.

	Crowd Dynamics Ltd - Heysel Stadium Disaster
		As with Hillsborough, the Heysel Stadium was criticised for the decrepit and unsafe facilities and it was deemed that the Stadium was totally unsuitable to host such an occasion.
		Heysel, says Baudrillard, did not happen by chance; it was the inevitable result of the desire of spectators to turn themselves into actors.
		The truth is that the collapsed wall at Heysel was a deadly metaphor for the gathering destructive forces that brought English football culture to its knees.

	The Heysel Stadium disaster cover up of 1985.
		Although the stadium was crumbling, it would take a basic smattering of know how to imagine that crumbling terraces in a stadium built on backhanders by cowboy builders might perhaps point to other structural decay and deterioration in the walls and the actual crush barriers.
		In the case of Heysel, Maggie Thatcher actually threw the evidence and legal statutes in the bin, and she 'knew' Liverpool fans were to blame because she saw it on TV.
		The Heysel families could take out private prosecutions against the fans involved in the trouble, but given the many parties involved in the events, this would be doomed to failure if it were the main thrust of any legal moves.

		The Heysel Stadium disaster which killed 39 fans on May 29, 1985 was not the first time death had blighted soccer.
		However it was the first such disaster to be televised live to 77 countries and the first that occurred because of the mindless, drunken behavior of hooligans.
		What contributed most was the drunken, violent behavior of Liverpool fans, many of whom went to the Heysel Stadium armed with bricks, knives and poles and with the hatred of revenge burning in their hearts.

	YNWA.TV -> Forum -> York journo sick of 'justice for 96'
		For example, the man who runs down a girl accidentally in the street and gets four years in jail for dangerous driving, that might be seen as probably justice to me and you but not to the girl's family as you can't replace a life for a life.
		The victims of Heysel at least got some sense of justice as something was seen to be done to punish the miscreants (punishments already stated) and nobody is left in any doubt as to who was to blame for what happened.
		The people I feel sorry for most of all are the families who lost people in the disaster and who don't court the publicity and just want it all to go away so they can get on with their lives.

		On the evening of May 29, 1985, what was supposed to be a celebration of European sport between two clubs at their peak turned into a nightmare that changed the way that football would be watched in stadia forever.
