Came out at the end of the game to find that my wife's wheelchair which is padlocked in the bike rack had been stolen. A WHEELCHAIR!
Experience of life tells you it had to be kids "having a laugh" and so it proved as cctv showed some of the local youth pushing off towards Moulscomb and then back up round the back of the west stand while the match was in progress. Thankfully they just dumped it and the club security staff and police were fantastic. The club lent us a chair so we could get back to the carpark and immediately reviewed the cctv and sent stewards to help the police recover it with only a broken padlock and a damaged wheel and footrest to sort out. We were on our way home within an hour.
Unfortunately my wife has been greatly distressed crying for most of the three hour journey home. As it stands it is going to take a lot to get her to come to another game.
Stealing a wheelchair? I f***ing ask you.....it's hardly as if there could be any doubt about its use and the owners' need Scum is too nice to describe them.
Thanks though to the club staff and especially the police in attendance. They were lovely and I cannot speak highly enough of them
I will be e-mailing Mr Barber in the morning
