Default Re: News Update From DLO Officer Kerry Evans

Well said Bill.

Of course, pitch side spaces are not the ideal and minimum standards of accessibility at football advise that no more than 25% of spaces are at this level, so we are looking to move on with the second and third platforms that were originally planned (and funding applied for) back in 2014-15.
Currently we have 51 wheelchair user spaces and minimum standards require that a stadium with a 10,000 capacity has 100.
Any further increase in capacity requires 5 wheelchair spaces per 1000 seats, so for example a 5000 seat Kop would require 25 more wheelchair spaces just to keep Kop itself at minimum standards.
