Quote: ☺East-Sard☺ "Nowadays, just about all biggish 'all-seater' stadia, have a disabled section midway into the stand - usually the same level as the concourses. Langtree from pics certainly have pitch side sections, but I'd imagine they too will have elevated disabled sections. I'm not 100% sure, but I'm sure I've heard/read that for every new stand/extension etc they have to meet disability requirements. At CP we have a pitch side hut sorta' thing – hopefully short term.'"
yeah,traditionally the people with reduced mobility were always grouped together it seems at ground level at most sporting events and treated as an afterthought IMO
I really hope the new stands cater for these people like my missus who are quite happy to pay a bit more if the facilities are provided rather than stuck in a corner somewhere
one thing about the Gilbert Brutus is the parking facilities for Disabled badge holders is great - it's just when you are actually in the ground that you notice the lack of ramps etc - my good lady has two sticks and can negotiate most sports grounds in france but the new stand at Perpignan is a bridge too far....
