Received a survey thing from this lot yesterday, perfectly reasonable asking 2 questions about my views on standing at ER which I duly completed. This morning I received this message:-
"Dear Leeds fan
Whatever ones views on standing it was not appropriate for us to send our last email on the anniversary of the Hillsbrough tragedy.
It was a genuine mistake and we apologise unreservedly to anyone to whom it has caused offence."
I didn't realise until after I completed the survey but it certainly didn't cause me offence linking the two together. I lived & worked in Sheffield at the time of the tragedy so my memories are pretty vivid. How anyone could take offence at this survey is beyond me - if anything this anniversary should be used to have proper dialogue about standing at matches.
Talk about political correctness gone made.
