As shared by Twitter user Thomas Lee, a local fan revealed a flag that read ’97 Never Forgotten’ and featured two souvenir llamas along with the Forest insignia.

It’s important to keep both sides of what happened that day in mind, as we expect to see punishment for singing about the Hillsborough stadium disaster and those who died in 1989, while acts of empathy and kindness like this should also be celebrated.
