There was problems in france a few years back in a champions league game involving Man Utd where too many fans got penned into a small space, then the french police decided to try and calm them down by firing Tear Gas.
People weren't penned into a small space at that Lille game. There was loads of room to the left of the United end - everyone just entered the stand and stood in the middle. With no stewarding to move people around to the empty sections of the stand, everyone just kept piling into the middle and down to the front.
The fences themselves weren't the problem. Inadequate emergency exits in those fences and poor policing and stewarding were the problems.
I also wish people would stop mentioning ticketless supporters. The number of ticketless fans who had turned up was minimal and not a contributing factor. It's easy to believe the myth, though.
