  2. Shoulndt there be an apostrophe in barclay's?
  3. Uturn on blind fan pricing.
  4. Dreamer.
  5. Brighton let us sit with the players 2 last year. Brilliant stewards and disablity attitude.
  6. Good post. The club needs to acknowledge this and the first step on this road should not to be to extract money from this sub group it should be to address those points that you raise. First on list: sort those bloody radios out. Absolutely rubbish, and hospital radio is the best commentary going. Those lads at brilliant. I must know you btw.
  7. The travel club provide a coach (number 2) for every away game that has a side lift that can accommodate 2 wheelchairs. From what I recall when they unveiled it they can remove more seats if demeans was high enough on a regular basis. The previous system was a iveco bus that could hold 4 wc's but had no refreshment or toilet. It was also a fair bit slower. If you live within the city and want to be dropped off in the car park then register with Dial-a-Ride, the club subsidise the service, iirc it's a quid a game. Their number: 023 8022 2033 ask abou PlusBus too which is available to small groups and organisations. Theres a lot out there but it's just finding them, 1community based in Eastleigh for example have a 'buddy' scheme whereby volunteers are matched to individuals needs etc.
  8. Ive just chucked me tartan scarf in the wash ready to hang round me wrist.
  9. In theory a wheelchair user could take a front row seat all around the perimeter. Including an enabler this would take up 3 seat spaces. This, I understand, was planned for implementation last season but have no idea why it was not introduced. Also, in my experience, the raised wheelchair boxes sell out quicker than most areas of the ground, I'd like to see more of these areas when the new stadium is built.
  10. Those DLA etc criteria are pretty sound compared to what was in place IMO. I'm actually changing my view on this strangely, based on the two extremes of 1 chap; wheelchair user, blind, partially deaf and another who cycles to games (I kid you not) he does wear glasses for reading though.
  11. On balance, saints offer a great service to disabled fans in general. This move though will literally price some of those most deserving of a little hand out, out of attending. I suppose that applies to many with prem price increases but it's come from SDSA initiatives so based on sound insight and knowledge the 'system'. One plus is that I now assume that if you are blind you can sit where you want?
  12. That is what I meant though, cheers 9. I really like the kits with umbers on panels like our euro shirt btw.
  13. My forum match shirt has blue I think, melted blue now though :-( due to mrs h's exuberant ironing.
  14. I can see both sides of the argument though.
  15. Brentford was foc as was Bournemouth, Brighton and Pompey. Iirc. A couple of others charged a minimal fee so I assume that's the model. One chap I know spends most of his spare money on football; taxi to and from @ £40 rtn, support worker @ £7.50 x 4 hours. To listen to the atmosphere, hospital radio and mix with like minded people. Just saying like. Not saying the club should give them gratis but the club could.

  17. Choose your enemies wisely grasshopper.
  18. /\ not at all, can't be the same for every colour/design surely. Ie Newcastle black on black.
  19. Anyone know what font type has been chosen for the numbers and names on the back please?
  20. Have you a link to the story Pilchards? Do you tip us for a medal?
  21. Pilgrim House' seaweed is lush, sweet, salty, crispy mmmmmm. They also do nice green lipped mussels in garlic sauce. I'm bloody starving now ya bugger.
  22. Ouch. I know through involvement with disabled saints fans groups many visually impaired and blind supporters. I am very disappointed at this news. I sincerely hope that the SDSA aren't supporting it. Although the club were made aware of some abusing the system, I hope this has more foundation than an attempt to stop abuse. This is an area that I personally feel passionately about and would urge the club to reconsider. Time to talk to those fans directly and maybe show a bit more empathy.
  23. They flew over my house a couple of days ago as part of the Folkestone air show. Awesome sigt and sound.
