She hated football fans faz with damn good reason or have you forgotten what football was like in the 70's and 80's. her cabinet wanted her to ban professional football entirely at one time which she rejected. Also that every fan had to carry an indenty. Card again she rejected.
So she did not hate football as much as her cabinet.
And anther thing plenty of the general public hated football back then too because of the voilence and so to ban it might have been a vote winner but she rejected it.
Was she a football liker ? No probably not but so what ?
I seem to remember at anflield we had a minutes silence for sept 11th. So it's not done whether you like or not but for national events and this is a national event like her or loath her. But I do accept the clash with hillsborough.
I agree with most of the above, (mainly because you are stating facts and only an idiot would disagree), but I'm not sure that a minute's silence for "someone who used to be the prime minister a long time ago", is relevant to the majority of people attending the matches. Would there be a minutes silence for john major, tony blair, gordon brown, david cameron etc? Would there b0llocks!?
A minute's silence at football games should be for key figures within the game, or to remember key events/tragedies in the history of the club or city.
