The responsibility for the deaths rests mainly with those fans who were at the back having arrived late and were trying to push their way forward. That is what caused the crush at the front of the terraces.
Anyone who has attended a major football match before all seater stadiums will have experienced similar instances, fortunately without consequences in most cases. It is frightening at the time and with hindsight you realise that it only needed one person to trip for a Hillsborough to have happened elsewhere.
The correct verdict, IMO.
