| Could I ask every disabled fan what do you think of the attitude of your own club and the clubs you visited are.
I am involved with the Hull KR disabled supporters club and am finding that the clubs are getting worse not better in there attitude towards us...... ( and its not just the Clubs the national body don't seem to help either).

| I can't be sure but I think at Hull FC they have a regular meeting for disabled fans every few months and usually someone from the club such as Adam Pearson, or James Clark is there.

| Leeds have regular meetings for fans with disabilities. I get letters on a regular basis. I haven't been to any, however.
Leeds are just about the only club these days that give a discount on ticket prices for the ambulatory disabled.

| I tried booking tickets for the international at the Olympic Park in November, frankly the response from the RFL and indeed the owners of the stadium with regard to parking access is disgusting. Considering they already had allotted disabled parking bays from whence the Olmpic games was held whatever redesign inside the stadium should have had no bearing on the parking.
That they (the Olympic park people) wouldn't/couldn't give any assurances that disabled parking would be allocated to those disabled spectators and their group purchasing tickets I found distasteful in the extreme.
I had got onto both parties and was just fobbed off, why even bother selling tickets if you are going to make access to an event nigh on impossible for wheelchair users...makes my blood boil!

| This is not just at the Olympic park with the RFL ..... I as a officer of the Hull KR Disabled Group was charged with organising a trip for the group to The World Cup final ......only parking the RFL could offer us was over a mile from the ground for a coach half full of disabled passengers.

Unfortunately Leeds don't have the same respect to away fans and ticket allocation for disabled as per the RFL guide lines though

icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?:icons077e_files/4864-863FALH-msnicons.jpg |

| At the LSV there are plenty of Disabled parking bays adjacent to the West Stand.
