Re: Fans with a disability/long term illness/extra needs

I've read the thread, and didn't comment, so I will.

I applaud this move.

I attended every home match in the season Stanley won promotion back in to the league, and quite a few away matches too, thanks to Speedy Gonzales, Ms. Harwood Red.

In theory, having Parkinson's disease, I am disabled by this long-term condition.

One of the reasons I no longer attend is financial, as it a relatively large percentage of your finances when you're on a fixed income.

If I recall correctly I did ask in a thread on here if there was any discounts available for disabled fans, as there are at many other public venues. I was told by reply that there wasn't.

I genuinely hope this move will help people who have difficulties go and watch Stanley.

Hope you don't mind me poking my nose in.

I remain a fan, but now follow the results by spending my money on buying cheap flights to go and spend winters with friends who live in the sun, which is beneficial to my health.

I wish you well, and think what you're attempting to do is a very good thing.
