    I visited this ground last night with my disabled son. There were only 2 wheelchair users in the away end , the disabled space was infront of the away seats which was good, but pitchside, we couldnt see the left corner of the pitch & stewards frequently blocked our view, but were always told to move by the lady steward there. The tea bar & disabled toilets were only yards away & easily accessible for wheelchair users.

    I phoned to try & book a disabled parking space but was told all the car parking spaces had been sold to season ticket holders. When I explained that my sons car had a hoist in the back to lift his electric wheelchair out, he said he would see if he could help. Later he phoned me & said they had managed to find us a space, which we were grateful for. The car park was nowhere near full for the match though & the away accessible parking area had non blue badge holders parked there, eg taxis. The club shop was easily accessible to wheelchairs
