What do you think of them? Out of order or a valid point 23 years after a disaster? Admittedly, he could have said it in a more sensitive way, but just how wrong is he?

He has already received numerous, very explicit death threats on Twitter over this. He has also apologised. My personal feeling is that playing a semi final on that day, having a minutes silence at the home of football and then hopefully winning the game, is a far more fitting tribute than sitting at home grieving for the 23rd year running.

At what point do they stop though Baz?

It's now been 23 years. It must come to a point where memorials stop. My Grandad's 16 year old sister was killed in the 1943 bethnal green tube disaster. He never once asked for a day off work on the anniversary. 2 reasons. 1, he knew that being an everyday worker, he wouldn't be allowed and 2, he didn't feel it was good for him to grieve and relive sad memories all the time.

If the fans want to do it, then I agree it's their choice and it should be respected, but there comes a time when people need to move on.
