Hi Stewart, I raised the same thing with Dave F yesterday as I'd seen the later kick off time on the Football Web Pages website, and yes, the game will be kicking at 3.07

I'm asking for trouble here but why are we doing this? I don't recall us commemorating the 25th Anniversary of The Bradford fire, Ibrox , Munich or for that matter Heysel. Totally understandable that Liverpool would want to mark it, of course, I'm just don't think we need to as well.

EMBARGOED FOR 12:00
21 March 2014
English football to mark 25th anniversary of Hillsborough stadium disaster
As a mark of respect and remembrance for those who lost their lives as a result of the Hillsborough stadium disaster in April 1989, all Premier League, Football League, Football Conference and FA Cup matches taking place on the weekend of 11-14 April will kick-off seven minutes later than originally scheduled.
The match at which the disaster took place, The FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on 15 April 1989, was ended six minutes after kick-off, at 3:06pm.
In the Premier League, Football League, and Football Conference, matches due to kick-off at 3pm on Saturday 12 April will now kick off at 3:07pm, with the minute before kick-off (3:06pm to 3:07pm) seeing a period of silence observed at all grounds.
The first FA Cup Semi-Final on Saturday 12 April between Wigan Athletic and Arsenal will now kick-off at 5.07pm with a minute of silence between 5:06pm and 5:07pm. The following day, Sunday 13 April, will see Hull City v Sheffield United begin at 4.07pm with a minute of silence between 4:06pm and 4:07pm.
Fixtures kicking-off at other times on Friday 11, Saturday 12, Sunday 13 and Monday 14 April will observe the same etiquette with matches starting seven minutes later than originally scheduled.

I don't see any reason not to mark it. Won't do anyone any harm. I do see what you mean but I don't think not officially remembering other events makes it wrong to remember this one.

Of course your right , sallycat, it does no harm at all. I just seems that it has become almost sacrilegious to query anything to do with this tragic event. It is that pressure that I find questionable rather than the extra 7 minutes before kick off.
