The Hillsborough disaster was a tragic day in English football history. It was a big game for soccer fans, and everyone was going into the stadium. However, some gates got locked off and others became overflowing with people, causing people to crush each other and fall onto the field. A total of 96 people died, with many more injured. JFT96

What happened at the hillsbourgh disaster?

The Hillsborough disaster happened in April 1989 at the beginning of a FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest, at the neutral venue of Sheffield. Essentially, the ground was full with many fans outside, unable to get in when the game started. For whatever reason, police opened another entrance and fans surged in. At that time, grounds required fencing to stop supporters getting onto the pitch, and in the melee 96 Liverpool fans were killed - crushed against the fences. The aftermath of this tragedy was that fencing was abolished and all-seater stadia introduced at Premiership and Championship grounds.
