First of all, welcome to the forums Urchins
IMO it's a good thing that the first leg of the tie is in Anfield, because my feeling is that there is much more bitterness amongst Juventus fans, whilst many Liverpudlians are likely to have little to no knowledge/care of the the tragic events of Heysel.
I hope Liverpool and their fans put on a great display of respect for the victims, so any plans of violence or murder on the part of the fans will be reduced by the time the second leg in Turin comes around. I know it sounds naive to think that people will just drop their weapons and forget about avenging their fallen comrades, but a fitting memorial would IMO go a long way towards burying the hatchet between the two teams

As for my thoughts on the 20th anniversary of Heysel, i always knew that we would be drawn together this year for some reason, maybe its fate, that at such a distinctive time we should finally get togetherand show the world that England and Italy's most successful clubs and in my veiw the worlds most famous fans should show the world just how close our two clubs really are, the whole world will be tuning in i'm sure at Anfield and again at the Stadio Delle Alpi....I just hope that at both games both sets of supporters can be dignified and respectful to one another and remember those whose lives were tragically taken away 20 years ago, then i hope we can watch two fantastic games of football and my final message..........may the best team win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
