The Hillsborough disaster occurred during the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest on the 15th April. This was where 96 people died due to a lack of attention on the steward’s behalf. This was because they had opened up a tunnel leading into one of the stands and this was unmanned which meant that many people could walk in without the stewards knowing how many people were in the tunnel and in the stand. This mad rush of people meant that supporters were being crushed and some fans even climbed over the fences or were lifted up by fellow supporters onto the stand above to escape the crushing. Soon after the match started the crush barrier broke and fans began to fall on top of each other. The game was stopped after 6 minutes of play. Some fans tore down advertisement to use as stretchers and emergency services were called to provide assistance. This act is there to control the admission of spectators at designated football matches in England and Wales.
