Sorry Chrisr, I have to take issue. As far as I am aware, the club has never offered a disabled concessionary season ticket. I agree with LancsDave in that the club do allow carers in free with a full ticket price paying disabled supporter, however they must first prove their disablility with letters from DWP etc etc. In fact, most grounds I have visited with my partner (who is disabled) operate in a similar way, the notable exception was Torquay (when a league club). I do agree though that disabled persons wanting a season ticket, should be allowed to get it at the concessionary rate, especially persons such as yourself who are registered partially sighted. Lets hop MD Dave Burgess comes up with a solution.
