Tim Vickery has responded to one of the posters on RAWK: As far as I am aware, this has not been put up on the website - you have my authorisation to publish this open letter on any website of other publication that you see fit. I would like to add that the appearances i make on the programme are unpaid. But also, though I've never met him personaly, he doesn't seem to me to be a bad bloke. He has said some very silly things - in this case it's no real excuse, but it can be easy to let your mouth run away with you on radio. I would like to think that he can be won over - this really was the point of the letter. Not just for the 96, but for all other potential victims of criminally inept crowd control, I think there's more to be gained from dialogue within the community of football fans than any other course of action. Can we win him over with the force of debate? Cheers, Tim
