"It was never our intention to do so and we fully accept that hooliganism played no part in the tragic events of 15th April 1989."It was signed by the managing director, Keith McIntyre. The Berkshire outfit is part of the Scottish-based Romanes Media Group.Both the 1991 Taylor report and the 2012 Hillsborough... Continue reading at 'The Guardian'
