Nice video. "The eagle has a landed" ? Have a word with yourself, Sam's dad.

Lovely kid. Great dad. Top football club. Brilliant.

 

[Triggaaar]

Sam plays for our power wheelchair teams.

 

[AmexRuislip]

Brilliant

To my shame I didn't realise we had wheelchair positions on upper levels. Certainly the way forward and good to see not just pitchside in the rain. And good to see the enjoyment that this access provides

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

Being named Sam Elliott is something to live up to, though.

 

[SUA Seagull]

What a heart warming clip. Hats off to the lad, his dad and the club. Makes me feel very proud indeed to be part of a sincere and caring community club with a fantastic stadium and facilities for all. How lucky we are.

 

[B.W.]

Love it. Brilliant. The club got it right again...

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Excellent stuff by the club in many areas of the ground. Just hope the small minority of fans who tut and moan at aways such as Reading when asked to sit down in front of similar sections to allow viewing now appreciate the situation.

 

[Marshy]

Brilliant Family, top stuff, made me smile

 

[W.C.]

Lovely stuff.

The "situation" is, of course, that the Madejski Stadium is not as well designed as the Amex - despite the fact that both are relatively new.

There should be no reason why a wheelchair-user's view should ever be obscured by someone standing in front of them.

 

[Mayfair Seagull]

Really nice video.

Fair point, when it happens next time I shall march right round to the designer and put him right.

 

[SIMMO SAYS]

I sit twenty feet from Sam and intend to meet him tomorrow
I'm sure he can't wait

 

[portlock seagull]

I'm going to call out a few stars in the Albion disabled community: Lord Bracknell, Lindfield by the Pond, Herr Thump...all done great work in this area.

 

[Albion Robster]

Thanks for sharing that wonderful and heart warming video.
It's great to see the match day experience of a disabled fan, no different to the able-bodied fans amongst us really.
Well done the club and the stewards.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

Lovely video.
Were do disabled away fans sit in the stadium? Would love to hear the views of away fans in respect of disability views.
It wasn't so long ago that reports were saying the majority of clubs fail to properly provide adequate arrangements for disabled supporters so it nice to see Brighton making a real good effort

There's a platform at the back of the South Stand towards the eastern corner.
