Bob Lord disabled entrance

Post by AmbleClaret » Wed Mar 26, 2025 8:53 am

After some advice in advance of Saturdays game. First time back on since breaking my ankle/leg on Boxing Day. Season ticket in Bob Lord, but I don't fancy trying to negotiate the unfeasibly narrow turnstiles with 2 crutches and a bulky walking boot.
Is there a disabled-friendly entrance to this stand?

I’m sure if you contact the club they can arrange for the exit gate to be opened for you to enter

Or at least you’d like to assume that the would

What I always used to do (this is pre-covid, but I doubt it has changed) is talk to the steward outside or bang on the corrugated door near the turnstile, and the steward there would open it to let you in and then take your season ticket to the turnstile to get it scanned.

But asking the club would be a good option.

There is also the accessible entrance for the corner stand. I imagine you still have stairs to navigate to your seat, but hopefully they can open this for you.

I have over the last 3 years had 3 occasions when I could not go through a turnstile twice for operations on my shoulders that meant i was in a fixed sling and once when on crutches.I spoke to the club and was told to approach a steward outside the turnstile and explain they will open the exit gate for you whilst another will use your ticket to go through a turnstile and give the ticket back on each occasion I was asked if I needed help to get to my seat. When I had the crutch going up or down the steps etc I found people asked if I needed help.
