I'm surprised fans on here think it's a bad idea, awareness of the tragedy is no bad thing. As for chelsea fan reactions, they happily sit/stand gormlessly during a minute's silence once a year (11/11) and doubtless do the same when posting "RIP" to any and every celeb that dies even though they never met them, yet won't applaud for a minute once in 20 years out of respect for the dead................. Bear in mind 11/11 is principally for people who died during wars, no world war since 1945 so before most fans were born. Hillsborough happened in most attending's lifetime and took place at semi-final weekend so I don't see why the FA shouldn't mark the tragedy. I think anyone criticising them from Liverpool's side of things should think a bit more about it and why. As for the "proper enquiry", was it the FA's fault the outcome of the enquiry was a farce?
The problem is the more Liverpool FC, fans and campaigns for justice push, the less everyone else will be happy to. So I say credit the FA for this gesture which may raise awareness, they've also given it some thought as there would doubtless be plenty who would disrespect a minute's silence. Just because a few idiots on a (CFC) forum don't like the idea, doesn't mean those going won't cooperate. After all the CFC fans on forums are bound to be pretty hostile given they spend time on forums and doubtless encounter and argue with more LFC fans than a lot of others do - bear in mind you don't have to go to matches or even be in this country to post on www, you do to go to semis.
