I absolutely love going to
away matches and, although our performance was again abject to say the least
today, that is why I’ll be up in Everton to support the boys on Wednesday
night. But, I do have one grievance with certain stadiums and where they put
the visiting wheelchair users.
Just because someone is disabled
does not mean they have no emotions. Now, I haven’t been to all the away
grounds but this seems to be the thought process at Liverpool ,
West Ham and today at Aston Villa. There are many reasons why I think this is
out of order and clubs should think about re-locating the travelling support.
Firstly, it means that you
have to stay quiet and if you don’t (like me today), you look like a mental
person which attracts a few looks. Secondly, you feel vulnerable to attack. Not
being melodramatic but at West Ham in particular, I was celebrating a goal in
my usual intense manner and I thought things were going to kick-off. I wasn’t
intentionally goading the fans but all I’m saying is if the away fans were in
with me at the Emirates, I’d get annoyed (Barcelona
So, I want clubs to take
heed and put us disabled lot in the away end. I want to be thanked by players
(even if it is a few claps above the head) and not sat on the other side of the
stadium.
Rant over but I need to vent
that one. Blame Gervinho!!!
Bye for now!
