I've been to Latics with my daughter, who has Cerebral Palsy for a while now. At latics the car parking is good and the entries are mainly flat. Pushing the new turnstiles is not easy for her ( new stand ) but there is a designated disabled entrance however the staff can be a bit disconcerted by someone who is ambulant and they think they are swinging the lead.
In general we've found latics good and the fans are terrific and in the main really patient with her and accepting of her disability. Not the woman who sits right behind us and pushes past us on the stairs however?
we've been away several times and always been treated really well except once. Accrington were the best where they have the smallest car park known to man and reserved a place for us next to the Latics bus. I was embarrassed and also worried they were going to delay the kick off until she got to her seat! They were so attentive.
Bradford, Leicester, Everton , Huddersfield and even Leeds were fine. The exception? Rochdale. 'We only have reserved spaces for our own fans so you'll have to park on the street and she'll have to walk like everyone else ' they lost money for four people that night and when I wrote to them about it ( not a complaint ) I didn't get a response.
In general I think football reacts better to disabled people than the general public and certainly better than the media would have you believe. There are are a lot of people I believe who think treating people equally means treating them the same (or some people even worse) but as we are going to have a greater percentage of the populace who are going to be disabled maybe there will be more change in public opinion. just my thoughts.?
