I am not hundred per cent sure, I would have thought there would be a concession. If the chap needs a carer or support to attend the game I know they shouldn't be able to charge the carer to go in,. If we take our guys swimming or to the cinema we get in free as they couldn't attend without someone taking them. Places are wise to people taking the piss though. Give the ticket office a ring.

My mate's Mrs is classed as disabled (no wheelchair) and he gets a free SC as a carer. BOGOF.

I get a disabled season ticket and because I can walk they class me as being Ambulant. This entitles me to a free carers tickets as well. Last season I paid £216 (for 2 tickets) to sit in CB lv 3.

As discussed get him to contact the ticket office and they will talk him through the options. He will need to provide proof though. Free Carer must be aged 16+ and capable of assisting your mate in an evacuation of the ground. Purpose of the free carer is to disolve the clubs responsibility to making reasonable adjustments. Also ask for free parking. They only issue it on request.

I am secretary of the Disabled Supporters Association and would love to invite you and your mate to our next meeting. Will be 22nd April at COMS with 2 players from the current squad in attanedance. We do not yet know which room we will be in, so PM me closer to the date.

City's Ground must be one of the most accessible in the Country for Wheelchair Users.i.e. Ramps everywhere and all on flat land. One day, The Man might give us some credit for being so socially aware.

As the others say, it's a basic charge for people in the Wheelchair Enclosure and their helper (if they need one) can get in for free.

i know they used to let Bingo smoke in the toilets because of his disability, but i think they changed that policy.

cheers

I was a carer last season for a mate(fuck knows why I was the carer as it was usually me that couldn't walk). Anyway, you pay round about half price for a season ticket for the one disabled, and fuckall for the carer. Same with cup games, my mate would pay half price for a ticket for himself and I'd get in for fuckall though we used to split the difference.

Don't take the above as fact though as I was normally twisted and to be honest I can't remember what I done yesterday.

anytime mate.

Whats the criteria?

I asked the club about disabled parking for this season and they werent too helpful. I'm disabled enough to be unable to walk from the Mitchells arms where I normally park, I have a blue disabled parking badge but i'm not disabled enought to claim DLA as I just have arthritis and its not all the time.

Someone else mentioned this to me the other week when he came with me to the game and I was on crutches, but I thought he was taking the piss

this year they asked for proof of disability which was either doctors letter or DLA, they did not accept blue badge. Get your doc to write a letter and speak with either Kevin in ticket office or Danny Wilson head of Supporter experience

You're right there mate. Maybe good to let everyone else know exactly what said.
