we do try & keep a degree of segregation as required by FA regs now. We also had an inspection on by Lancs CC on Saturday. However with the limited facilities for disabled away fans we do have to provide seating which we do stress to away disabled fans to use the area nearest the changing rooms & leave the front row for wheelchairs. However two ears one mouth doesn't always get used in proportion. The section designated should be sufficient for the usual level of away disabled fans, so should not normally prove a problem. Our role as stewards are to ensure your comfort & safety & never feel we are beyond approachability if you have a problem. If your nearest steward fails to solve your problem then each area has a supervisor who will ensure anyone proving a problem is dealt with initially by polite request & final resolve of being asked to leave the ground. Away fans do try to get in to home fans areas & your help as home fans in identifying them will be acted on by moving capably able fans to their proper area for their & your comfort. We all at the club want you to feel you have parted with your hard earned cash for a degree of return-sadly its Johns department on the field so that side is beyond my remit! Its not always a rewarding job as stewards but the family friendly ground we won last year was some degree of acceptance of our role by the league & away fans. So next game as you leave give us a smile & a thank you for our efforts in helping your afternoons enjoyment, oh & let us know the final score too please-LOL.
