Hillsborough: Light At The End Of The Tunnel
Hillsborough: Light At The End Of The Tunnel | Nicola Golding
3 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
A heartfelt story of the horrific events that happened to those who were there on that fateful day. Saturday 15th April 1989, the Hillsborough Disaster, that affected so many who went to watch and support Liverpool vs Nottingham Forest, in the FA Cup semi-final.
A hopeful diary of events of the lives of those affected, Nicola herself crushed in the crowd tells her powerful story of her experience and the ever-lasting effects of that day. Stained by stories that will continue to affect those survivors of Britain’s worst ever sporting disaster and their problems coming to terms with losing ‘96’ brothers and sisters. This book is not for the faint-hearted and comes with a real warning to those who may not be ready to read it.
It is intended as a path to therapy, hopefully for many more than just the author and contributors who share their stories. Many long, torturous hours, even years, have been spent recounting their traumas that linger forever in their everyday lives, but also to the many families, other survivors, and witnesses of the awful events of that day.
It seems only appropriate that the truth is the word. The truth is written here.
The TRUTH is all we have ever asked for.

This is a powerful, moving book, and it's really important that Hillsborough survivors can tell their own stories of what happened. Obviously the events described so vividly here are incredibly upsetting, and I can't imagine how difficult it was reliving them to write this book. It also highlights the vital work of the Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance.

MayJasper Well done for reading it. I am not strong enough. 3y

Thoughts and solidarity with the Hillsborough survivors after a judge ruled that it wasn't illegal for South Yorkshire police to lie about their behaviour, falsify evidence and try to shift the blame for the unlawful killings onto them. #JFT96

TrishB I don‘t really know why we‘re surprised. 😞 @Velvetfur @arlenefinnigan 3y
arlenefinnigan @Velvetfur it's so wrong isn't it. And someone was just on Radio 5 lying about Liverpool fans 'starting a riot', and the presenter didn't challenge them. It's infuriating. 3y
Velvetfur @arlenefinnigan WHAT. After all this time, after everything that's been said, some people still think that way? I suppose that's typical BBC snobs for ya though 😡😡 3y
Velvetfur @TrishB I know exactly what you mean, but it still manages to hurt us 🙁 3y

This has just come out today, it's an eyewitness account from a survivor of the Hillsborough disaster. I wouldn't say I'm looking forward to reading it - it's going to be a tough read, although it's quite short - but after years of lies and victim blaming, it's so important that the survivors are finally getting to tell their story and get the truth out.
