During the game it was necessary for spectators comfort to remove a further 350 from this terrace. Estimations are that once spectators had been removed about 1,700 people remained but they were still closely packed. As stated previously this was the first time since the Semi Final on 15 April 1989 when the area had been at capacity, and it was abundantly clear that the number of spectators shown on the certificate, ie: 2,300 could not be accommodated, but at the rife of the Se~d Final the fixed capacity for this area was 2,800. Im=nediate discussions took place between Chief Superintendent Nesbit and the Sheffield Wednesday Football Club Secretary, Nr Graham Mackrell, and they agreed an emergency figure of 1,500 maximum. On 23 November 1989 I wrote to Mr H II Webster - copy letter enclosed - the Head of Sheffield Administration and Legal Department advising him of our concern and a special meeting of the General Purposes Panel was called for 2.00 pm on Monday 27 November 1989. Between times, it was discovered from an officer of the Council, Nr John Derricott, the Safety in Sports Ground Officer, that the plans which the Local Authority used to determine the capacity for the North West Upper Terrace had been drawn to a scale ~hich showed the terrace to be larger than it actually was, At the meeting on 27 November 1989 an emergency item was introduced which encapsulated the information contained in this letter to this point. A copy of the notes for this r~eting are included. There was prolonged discussion as,to the revised capacity for this area of the ground and Mr John Strange, who was representing Eastwood and Partners at the meeting, suggested that the capacity to be fixed at 1,400 will allow tir~ for exact calculations to be made, but he was sure that the figure of 1,400, whilst erring on the side of safety, would not be too far from the exact figure. So, on i5 April 1989 we had a capacity of 2,800 which has now been reduced to 1,400, a reduction of i00%! At the meeting, the question was never asked, or indeed, considered relative to the accuracy of the plans for the Leppings Lane Terrace on which the capacity had aeen calculated, a question which I have now addressed to the Local Authority in my letter, a copy of which is attached. I need not spell out the implications which surround the facts now brought to light, but if I can be of further help to you in this matter, I would be pleased if you could contact me. Yours sincerely A/Assistant Chief Constable Operations

I needed to have some checks made on the measurements of the terrace. Arrangements were made for these measurements to be made on two occasions. Each time there was heavy, rain all day. The work was completed just before Christmas. By way of background, you will no doubt be aware that we did not -=~: u_../ out a survey of the Leooings .. Lane end of the cround when ~he origina! Safety Certificate was applied for in 1978-79. The Club prcv!ded drawings prepared by their previous consultants of the North stand, the West stand the North West corner from which we made measurements. There were no drawings available of the older parts of the crcund (the Kop and the South stand) and we were cc~missicned by the Club co make the necessary measurements on site, for which we quoted a specific fee. This is al! well documented in our correspondence with the Club at the time and in our reDor= to them of January 1979. We have now measured the upper part of the North West corner, and there is a considerable discrepancy between the actua! measure- 2, $50(:~’.e5 J. A. Strange A. J. Clough R. Tandy J.M. Wood ¯ C, M.
