Are there any statistics floating around regarding disabled supporters? More specifically, I would like to know how many disabled season ticket holders there are at the walkers.
I've mentioned it in another thread but for those that do not know, LCFC have changed their policy for disabled fans next season.
In order to get a season ticket at the disabled person's rate next year, you have to sit in certain sections of the stadium. If you wish to keep your seat elsewhere in the ground you must pay the full price.
'faired income' i hear you say, or 'pay a low price, get a crap seat'.
That is not the point. I take my brother to city's home games. He's rarely fitted in with a group of people as well as he has done with the people that we sit with in the Kop. I would imagine that this is the same for most people with disabilities.
If you were wondering, you do not have to be in a wheelchair to be disabled, there are many 'able bodied' disabled people who will be affected by this attempt to simply get more money out of people.
Sticking all of the 'mongs' together in the ground will hardly help them to feel part of the community. It is more likely to do the opposite.
So, despite my rant, does anybody have the information re disabled STHs? It'll come in handy for my written complaint.
Thanks for listening.
