Dad and I have been coming to Plainmoor since mid 60s but very recently he finds the steps very difficult to contend with. He is quite happy on his mobility scooter and hopefully Ill be down on Saturday to watch with him. How accessible is Plainmoor on his scooter and would I have to inform anyone beforehand?

I think the Family Stand/Grandstand could be okay, gullinhert. There aren't any steps, and I'd imagine if you rang the club beforehand, you could arrange where your Dad could sit without any steps to worry about.

Thanks for that

I remember TUST raised and spent quite a bit of cash over the last few seasons to improve the matchday experience for disabled supporters. You will have no problem getting your Dad in and enjoying the game but a call to the Club beforehand might mean he gets a little bit of extra care and attention - I sincerely hope so anyway.

accessibility is much improved due to changes implemented by
the supporters trust...
either sit in the family stand [either in, or out of the mobility scooter ] or
phone the club and hassle them to allow you upstairs via the Trust-supplied
stannah stair lift.

if you have no luck, contact the TUST disabled liason officer, martin wildman,
