Hillsborough soccer disaster

Today's the 20th anniversary of the Hillsborough soccer disaster, 98 people sadly died there, rules were changed to prevent it happening again. Could it ever happen again?
I'm a volunteer first aider, one of my fairly regular duties is a local rugby ground, the rules say 2 first aiders for the first 2000 people, then another 1 for every thousand after that, trouble is our ground only ever have 2 first aider, regardless of crowd numbers.... except when the Health and safety executive do their annual check, then they book 5 of us for that day, fishy or what!
