New Seats Going In Holker Street End

[holkerboy]

I would be extremely peeved to travel all the way to see my team only to be directed to the one wheelchair shelter at the other end of the ground. I hope we can find a way around this. Even it means taking fans with wheelchairs pitch side to get around the HS End terrace steps.

A few years ago I was speaking to a wheelchair user at work who didn't go due to the narrow pavements outside, said it was a nightmare on a matchday.
Not clubs fault, I'm not asking them to widen pavements. Just saying.

Surely that could be sorted by stewards/volunteers/carers bringing them through the HS car park and opening the big gate by the offices.

I have no idea, probably meant getting to that area, can imagine going past back of holker st end and then back of stand wouldn't be easiest of tasks in a wheel chair.

I take your point but they presumably get to the ground via motorised transport and there could be a drop-off area where a volunteer takes over to get them into the ground. They could also phone the club during the week to say they are coming a bit like you do when going to a railway station or airport, and there will be someone there to greet them.

Exactly...There’s usually an answer if you look for a solution

I think this perennial debate divides the supporters into those who had a Meccano set when they were young and those who had Action Man (who was basically a doll by the way).
