Fans had to get on the pitch to escape a fatal crush at an FA Cup game in the
Hillsborough stadium in 1989
The group Hillsborough Survivors Support Alliance described the cancellation as a
"correct decision".
Liverpool fan Neil Dunne, who led a social media campaign asking the venue to
cancel September's event, told the BBC: "I don’t think it’s acceptable for [Mr Dale] to
appear here, when he has been making money from books that profit from our
misery and torment."
Mr Dunne, who has friends who survived the 1989 disaster, said he believed the
Philharmonic Hall’s booking was "a complete oversight".
He said: "They've done some good things for campaigns to do with Hillsborough in
the past.
"I thought all I needed to do was approach them and have a dialogue with them
about it. I'm happy that they have responded in the way they did."
