The Football Association will conduct an investigation into reports of overcrowding at Hillsborough on Saturday evening. A bumper 4,500-strong away end roared Newcastle United on as they lost 2-1 to Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup third round.
However, social media was rife with Magpies supporters post-match criticising the lack of stewarding and "dangerous" layout inside the ground. The Leppings Lane End, where Newcastle fans were stationed, is the scene of the Hillsborough disaster in April 1989, when 97 Liverpool fans tragically lost their lives.
The Newcastle United Supporters' Trust are also appealing to supporters for information.
