kwsaint Posted 17 July, 2015 Share Posted 17 July, 2015 Just read the following on BBC website: 'Only current three top-flight stadiums, Swansea, Bournemouth and Leicester, provided the required number of wheelchair spaces' Really surprised that we are not one of the good guys, especially as Leicester's stadium (whatever it's called this week) is a copy of SMS. I seem to remember Rupert Lowe ensuring that SMS had the right number of disabled spaces when it was built Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jawillwill Posted 18 July, 2015 Share Posted 18 July, 2015 Serious question, do we have a particularly large proportion of disabled supporters that are unable to buy tickets each match? (i.e a larger proportion than able bodied people?). If not, surely it's not a problem. There's no point in having additional wheelchair spaces for the sake of it.

hutch Posted 18 July, 2015 Share Posted 18 July, 2015 Any ideas? Yes. The BBC article is deliberately misleading. Again. There is no "required" number. It's a recommendation from a set of guidelines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 18 July, 2015 Share Posted 18 July, 2015 The requirement is for reasonable access and facilities - the recommendation is different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
