Football Stadiums in the UK lack wheelchair access

13 May 2014: 

In the UK Soccer is part of everyday life and there is a lot of money in the sport, but did you know, that most of the stadiums lack wheelchair access?

Having only three stadiums that meet the requirements is a crying shame for wheelchair users who want to go watch their team and can't access the stadium because they either don't have enough wheelchair spaces, or simply none at all.

I once went to a soccer match in Malta that had no wheelchair access and so I had to be carried to my seat. Since that experience I have not dared to go to a local game in Australia and I have always preferred to watch it on TV.

I just might go and check out how access is at my local Panthers (NRL) stadium and I'll report back!
