Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
Very much so, and again, where does this leave the club re future income generating concerts?.

Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
I assume that the current safety certificate for the ground for hosting concerts lists this as an access/egress route and is therefore the reason for it being delayed??
nonetheless, and having myself being involved in the scheme in some capacity over the years, this is a very frustrating situation for all involved.

Thanks. Though I guess in a way it's all semantics. A resolution was passed democratically. It instructed the board to act on behalf of the membership. This action may have been started by the board in some respects, but it hasn't been fulfilled. So it is therefore still non existent and not fruiting or flowering or any other productive term. The addition of 'earliest possible opportunity' could be interpreted in many ways. Though it clearly suggests with goodwill that is should be expedited and not continually delayed. I still don't get why the board would have been opposed to the necessity to bring the project to fruition at the earliest opportunity. What was the reason for that ? I can't recall their official response to the resolution.

Any platform situated over 2m from the ground would also need servicing by a lift. The idea of a second platform is simple but the execution of this can be complicated. ( Egress from the concert etc.) |

Proposals were first drafted in July 2016. Differently-abled fans needing to use wheelchairs have missed the 2016-17 season, the 2017-18 season, the 2018-19 season and will miss the 2019-20 season. That's four - yes FOUR - seasons they've not been afforded the ability to watch a football match, over 100 matches. I wonder how many times any of the seats that would have been lost as a result of the DSA's proposals have been sat in during that time? If the latest proposal affects means of egress for concerts (I don't know, but that seems to be the excuse for delaying its implementation), its installation would appear to affect the ability to stage future concerts. If so, that would seem to be a far greater loss of revenue than a few seats in the Yale Paddock. |

Re: Second disabled platform plan shelved?
I think Ruabon Red has summed that up perfectly.
Am truly ashamed of our football club who I have supported all my life through thick and thin, if the governance of the football club felt it was reasonable to object to a proposal for an amenity that provides inclusivity and a level playing field and accessibility for all of our fans, rather than risk losing a few seats for our non disabled fans. Are we Manchester United ? Nothing the club has done in the last 10 years has made me feel as upset as that does. I can absolutely appreciate the difficulty involved and potential costs in meeting all the requirements, but had the WST tried to find a workable solution from the very outset, rather than oppose the resolution I feel our club would be in a much stronger position today both on and off the pitch.
