The inquest into the death of a West Bromwich Albion fan at Hillsborough will take place almost a year on from the tragedy and focus on whether medics at Sheffield Wednesday’s ground responded quickly enough.
Senior Sheffield coroner Tanyka Rawden expressed concern that the family of Mark Townsend, who died during a game at the ground last September, have had to wait so long for the inquest into whether there were enough properly trained medical staff, adequate medical equipment, appropriate treatment and a fast enough response time.
A pre-inquest review on Thursday heard that lawyers for the family have yet to be given Sheffield Wednesday CCTV footage which could be key to the case.
