For the last 2 games I have noticed a steward standing outside the wheelchair access toilets at the North end of the WSL concourse. He had his hands over both door handles and was stopping people going into them. This was despite que's for the toilets snaking along the wall of the concourse, he wouldn't allow anyone to use them. He said it was club policy. When it was pointed out to him that there wasn't anyone queing for the toilets in a wheelchair, or indeed anyone in the concourse in a wheelchair he stupidly said and I quote 'there is a guy in here with a walking stick, so i'm reserving them for him'. Quite idiotic.
Now as far as I am aware, wheelchair access toilets are exactly that, for wheelchair access. You don't have to be in a wheelchair or have a disability to use them. I saw a guy with his young daughter told he could not use them for his little girl. It was outrageous, later another guy with a kid came along, and then he oddly allowed them to use them.
Now I know this is just what this steward had been told, and the instructions come from higher up, but really is this right?
I use the regular toilets but it was just the principle, before I put this on ask the club, what do you all think?
