Wheel chair access
:o? Can anybody let me know what the wheelchair access is like at Welford Road, I am hoping to get to as many games as I can this season with my lad (whos in a chair following diagnosis of a spinal tumour earlier this year)
I took my Dad at the end of the season before last for his last game. We were in the open disabled seating area by the temporary stand. I'm not sure if this area will still be there when the temp stand is put back up. If it is, be warned; we got soaked!
As Chobbsy says it's best to check beforehand but they were very accomodating.
Good Luck!

There are often two wheelchair areas, one in the bottom of the Alliance & Leicester and one at the clubhouse end near where the temporary stand goes. However, space is limited, and there is a waiting list, so I would suggest you ring the ticket office and ask them for advice and help well before any matches you may wish to bring your son to see.

How about trying to get to some of the Monday night "Extras" Games with your son ?Prop Fwd wrote:Thanks for all the advice hopefully we will be able to make it to a few matches. If all goes well with Chemo and Radiotherapy he wil be able to make it without the chair by the end of the season
Not normally so many people there & from what I recall last season the few wheelchair spaces there are were not normally fully occupied.
Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow.
Don't walk behind me, I may not lead.
