The remembrance of the tragic events at Hillsborough has shown just how much the reputation of football fans have been rehabilitated in the last 20 years.
The messages and lessons have been painful but have also been slowly accepted by most people.
But it is also a time to reflect on whether there is still more that needs to be achieved within football grounds.
Facilities and atmosphere at football games are far more family-friendly than they were but there is still a lot that can be done, especially in the way opposing fans react to each other.
Football fans have come together this week in remembering those that died at a football match.
It would be fitting if this weekend the same level of respect was shown with fans supporting their team rather abusing their opponents.
