		Burnden Park Football Disaster: The Times Report - Sidebar - MSN Encarta
		The 1946 quarter-final FA Cup tie between Bolton Wanderers and Stoke City at Bolton’s ground Burnden Park was the greatest tragedy in British football until the Ibrox Park disaster at Glasgow Rangers home ground in 1971.
		The popularity of football in Britain was at its peak in the years following World War II—a period when competitive football had all but been abandoned—and the estimated crowd of 85,000 that day caused congestion in the ground that led ultimately to the deaths by asphyxiation of 33 people.

		The previous highest recorded attendance at Burnden Park had been 69,912 in 1933/4, in 1945/6 the highest had been 43,000.By kick-off time of the Stoke game the turnstile count had reached 65,000,the official attendance being given as 65,419.However, it was estimated a minimum 2,000 gained illegal entry, with a further 15,000 turned away.
		Matters were further complicated as several turnstiles had been made unusable, as the Burnden Stand, which normally held 2,789 had been requisitioned by the Ministry of Supply and had not yet been returned to normal use, with the result that the 28,000+ on the Railway embankment had to enter from the Manchester Road (West End).
		In addition ticket holders in the Burnden Paddock were also admitted through entrances in this area and then escorted around the pitch to their places, resulting in a huge build up in the North West corner.
