I'd rather a defensive midfielder.

Surely we can have one and the extra disabled seating.
Now you're getting a bit carried away....

When we redevelop we need more wheelchair spaces.  There are  only 4 available on a game by game basis, and these sell out in the first hour on sale.  TC is about 30th on the waiting list for a season ticket, and the very nice disability access officer I spoke to said she may be lucky for the 23/24 season!  He said even if she became a member there's every chance she wouldn't get to a game all season.


Shit I didn't realise that. Is this the standard sort of availability across the league? Doesn't make it any better if it is.

Looks a bit better when you look at actual seats. But was still surprised by how small the provision is compared with other clubs. Significantly fewer than even Watford, Everton, and Palace, which are old grounds.

Thanks for the link. I've never been to Vicarage Road but that really does surprise me that Goodison and Selhurst have more wheelchair spaces. I never would have expected that.
