Sadly it is not so much an after thought, more of as a last resort final thought. The previous poster seagull on the wing is going on Tuesday to the fans forum, and is asking for our disabled related questions to collate.

This issue too important to have lost down the board and so until it gets a sticky (please note moderators) lets bounce it back up.

It is very clear that there is a great deal of groundswell support behind this issue. Not just from those of us who are being put through the wringer like this when we can all do without it, but also are able bodied colleagues on the terraces. Quite apparently from the various references on...

Hi there Seagull!, A quick look through this thread alone will give you sufficient information to ask enough questions on the subject of disabled supporters and disabled parking to fill the whole forum time allocated. Just in case you are struggling, lets start with the hot button topic right...

The line of quote that I whole heartedly agree with is: Why does it matter what other clubs do or what the DDA says - why not do better..the pies and beer are prioirties, why not disabled supporters? Many supporters are telling their stories and concerns on this thread. You are by no means...

Typically our charity requested a signed shirt last year as it has always down for past 12yrs, and we were given the message that the club was no longer giving signed shirts to charities for their fund raising. We even offered to buy one but that request was declined as well. With regards to a...

The reality is, rightly or wrongly, as mentioned previously the club is now operating within the service industry of entertainment (competing with cinemas, theatres, bowling alleys, even pubs) As such we have become 'customers' in the clubs eyes. Like all businesses these days it is all about...

Right now, hacked off that I am, I couldn't agree with your comments more. It was bad enough losing the disabled concession on STs, but at least then the spaces to park would be free. Now, quite clearly it is nothing like free. The cost is a lot to find from nowhere, but is irrelevant. When...

I like you playing Devil's advocate here Phil, but we all know that the ST numbers now achieved have been planned for right from the time they went on sale. With all the hype, and the pressure to 'buy now to guarantee your seat', even my old Gran knew they were going to sell out. You mention...

Forgive me Portlock, what is happening on Friday to which you refer?

This experience is very common amongst the disabled 'community'. I myself often end up missing night games (like Daggenham last season) because sitting out in the damp night air, can make my condition then unbearable for a week to come. I have blue and white running through my veins, but...

Dear Insider, I apologise at the outset as I'm sure these Qs must have been asked already but I could not locate them. The Disabled car park seems to be in two seperate locations. I understand that the first one has to have cars in by an hour & a half prior to the match. 1. Where is the other...

I read here on NSC at least six other posters, all saying that they were told at the time of purchasing their ST that a disabled parking space will be free. Now, with just days before kick off, the club inform us that there is to be an added cost of £180 for parking. Can any of the legal...

What Naylor has lost sight of is rightly or wrongly, football is now part of the service industry. I believe for the most part, the club want to hear about 'problems' otherwise how else will they find out about issues. Ok there has been some over the top comments, but for the most part the...

Well Mr Naylor. What about it? I have a few comments to add (for a change!) 1. At my ST presentation, I sat with my carer, in front of the guy across the desk, I was told there would be a space for all disabled and then he further said "there will be nothing else to pay other than the cost of...

It appears this joker has been seen at many schools across Brighton over the past month first hitting Mile Oak. Schools from Newhaven to Worthing have been made aware to watch out for this "person".

Bearing in mind that there are only 46 disabled parking spaces that are available to buy (on a seasonal basis only, at a price of £130 a season), what criteria will be used to decide which disabled people will be permitted to buy these places? And who will decide? I have been quoted £180 for 30...

Tiny tears you are absolutely correct, there are not enough bays. Why is it then the club is open to applications from normal season ticket holders as from tomorrow (Thurs) when our closing date isn't until Friday. Basically the club is quite happy to carry on taking the cash, as it appears to...

Hi, TH, good to speak to you again. I understand that the new breed of stewards are paid £6 per hour. I must say that the vast majority are very good. The problem comes when the few who do not have any confidence to use their common sense. I must confess, I don't get why so frequently...

With the utmost respect, may I just bounce this up a bit. Thank you.
