As more Newcastle fans describe the terrifying scenes in the Leppings Lane end at Hillsborough on Saturday, we demand to know… WHY are Sheffield Wednesday still silent over crush horror?

Newcastle fans have warned Sheffield Wednesday that they risk supporters suffering serious injury unless they improve safety in the away end at Hillsborough — yet the League One club have remained silent.

There were 4,500 travelling supporters in the Leppings Lane end for Saturday's FA Cup tie and many have reported severe overcrowding and crushing before the game and at half-time, leaving children in tears and parents scrambling to safety with them.

The problems centred on the bar in the concourse and when fans were attempting to enter the seated area through a narrow gangway.
