Stanza Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 This is an excellent BBC article about progress (or lack of it) in improving access to football at Scotland's Premiership grounds for people with a disability. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/68610204?fbclid=IwAR1U-Hssed5a9jm5OxzXSUSGX1pmbonM_x96GvkqDaLsgDW9DNHpd8w2Gpc I particularly liked the comment from St Johnstone's Bev Mayer: "If somebody brings something to our attention, then we ask 'how can we achieve this?'," she says. "You learn from your supporters, the biggest educators we've got are the service users." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superally Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Good to see that progress is being made albeit some clubs are better than others. @Stanza looking outside the Premiership, how do the Pars fare in comparison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prior to DAFC' admin problems we were among the best in Scotland (admittedly that was a low bar to beat) but since then several clubs, not just in the Premiership, have significantly improved their facilities so I don't think we hold that position now - still better than many, though, especially outwith the Premiership. I couldn't now say where we are in the "league table", every club has its own set of circumstances and requirements. As long as we all keep trying to improve facilities for ALL fans I'm reasonably happy - still a long way to go, though.

Superally Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Good to hear Stanza, the lift will make all the difference once we get it. Its good to see so many Pars fand invested in supporting their fellow disabled fans. COYP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piracy Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Great initiative and we have to applaud the work carried out by the DADSC, and the support provided by the fans and the club. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
