    Only 3 teams in the premier league meet requirements for wheelchair disability despite having 100s of millions over the years through TV deals.

    What is shocking that modern stadia are included along with stadia built over a 100 years ago. Only Swansea, Leicester and Bournemouth meet the standards, stadiums like the Emirates and Man C don't .

    Football clubs who spend millions on players and their vermin agents should be ashamed of themselves for not having having the foresight to actually invest properly into their infrastructure. Maybe they should look closely at how small clubs can get it right?

    This is so disgraceful that their safety certificates should be revoked until they do comply, that should sort the thoughtless clubs out.


    I had a dear friend who was disabled, and he was always commenting on the ease of access for him. Sadly he passed away the year before we went up to the Premiership, was always to be found on the West stand concourse.

    I have another good friend who has two disabled teenagers who very much appreciate the ease of access and vip entrance to the east stand, when I say VIP, he has a special access door he just knocks on that is wheel chair friendly, and I would just like to add that the stewards are very helpful always, this makes the experience for him and his family so positive, I can only thank the club for their thought and concern for the disabled...... <ok>
