A survivor of the Hillsborough Disaster has backed calls for an investigation into the events at the ground at the weekend after Newcastle fans spoke of feeling 'unsafe' due to 'overcrowding'.
Ray Matthews, a survivor of the Hillsborough Disaster in 1989 who now lives in Sunderland, has called for the FA and Sheffield Wednesday to look into the reports from Newcastle United fans claiming that stewarding was insufficient and that the ground itself felt 'unsafe' at the weekend.
Some 4,500 Newcastle United fans had travelled down to Sheffield Wednesday's Hillsborough Stadium to watch their side in the FA Cup third round on Saturday (January 7) with the majority of the away support located in the Leppings Lane end of the ground.
