A BANNER to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the Burnden Park Disaster has been installed at the University of Bolton Stadium - after fans came together to bring the idea to life. The flag contains the names of the 33 people who died as a result of the tragic human crush which occurred during the second leg of an FA Cup quarter-final tie against Stoke City on March 9, 1946, at Burnden Park. Some fans died after being crushed against steel barriers which gave way. Others were trampled during the tragedy - which became the deadliest stadium-related disaster in British history until the Ibrox Park disaster in 1971.
