And quite clearly it's you. Not all disabled supporters are in wheelchairs, as well I know, as my partner is disabled but can still walk. Also, there is also the problem of putting our own supporters who are disabled and in wheelchairs in the same area. I have seen a number of away fans being shown to the changing room end of the main stand (mainly those with elderly/infirm friends or relatives or very young children, who cannot possibly be expected to stand for 90 minutes). Safety is the biggest issue here and Mick does a great job under very trying circumstances on occasions.
