Well done to all those involved

Fantastic. Our club rightly looks after disabled supporters very well.

Very much so, there are some top people who work at the Albion and deal with disabled fans

This is certainly something to be proud of.

One thing I've noticed recently is that the disabled spaces at the front of the north stand aren't generally occupied, and I imagine it's not a great place to be if you're in a wheelchair, with a poor view and the threat of being hit by the ball? For the playoffs the appeared to have regular fans in these areas (though I realise disabled people need not necessarily be in a wheelchair). I just wondered if this capacity could be moved elsewhere, with there being room for about 250 more seats in these areas?

I particularly like that some of the seats are up high in the stands, so the fans can be among the crowd, rather than stuck at the front on their own.

Yes, that is a nice facility. Keeps them out of the way of errant footballs too!

Took a wheelchair bound friend to a game a couple of seasons back, we sat in the raised area in the north east corner. Good view, lift up to the seats, a small kiosk to serve the 20 or so people who could sit there. Club rep comes by to check all is good, stewards very friendly and willing to help. Couldn't have asked for more really.

I'm not even surprised. I would have been disappointed if the Club hadn't been at the forefront of such services...Barber IN !
