On this day, 79 years ago, on March 9, 1946 (February 6, 1946 in the lunar calendar), a stadium riot occurred during the FA Cup match in the UK, killing 33 people. On March 9, 1946, a stadium riot occurred during the second round of the FA Cup match between Bolton Rovers and Stoke at Burnton Park, killing 33 people. Originally, the stadium could only accommodate 65,000 spectators, but the actual number of people admitted that day exceeded the limit of 20,000, many of whom climbed over the fence and entered the stadium. Part of the stadium's stands collapsed due to heavy load, killing 33 people and injuring more than 500 others. This was by far the worst stadium accident to occur at a British stadium. The British Home Office's investigation report immediately required many stadiums in the country to improve venue facilities and improve safety standards. However, many suggestions were not adopted.
