We got a very old stadium so lets see what happens if we get a new one, also there no way to put in good wheelchairs spaces with cover .. shame thou I thought our ground for wheelchair was ok
 
Southend has one of the most dated grounds in the division so this should be no surprise. Don't take it personally.

BBC is biased anyway.....
 
Hardly surprising, we may love the old place but it belongs to a different era & hasn't been fit for modern purpose for years. We can only hope we get some positive news on the new ground soon otherwise I can see the next step will be the club being forced to close areas of the ground that no longer meet current safety standards, which is probably 3 sides of it!

Hmmm.

Is there a theme going on here? :unsure:
 
What are the views of wheelchair users? I know that some use the rear of the West Stand which is under cover but I'm not sure about the away end.
 
actually it's not bad (numerous posts accepted).

it's only not very good when the selfish people in front stand up
 
The north stand doesn't cater for.wheelchairs,you see.the away wheelchair fans sitting on the perimeter track behind the north east corner flag which is below the pitch and wet if it's raining :thumbdown:
 
Can't the club just stick wheelchair supporters in a box if there's one free and then they get a really decent experience?
 
Anyone see the Charlton game the other day.

They have a fans sofa by the corner flag and there was a family of four sitting on it.

Now, that's an idea! :cool:

Seriously, hope the club review the wheelchair options, as it would be nice if they had a better deal.

I like it. I could have a nap for most of SUFC matches :smile:
 
LOL. We could put a small table next to it with an alarm clock! :thumbsup:
 
You'd have got a good 85 minutes kip in, the last two home games!

Surely there is some law against that? Sounds like no way to treat the disabled to me!! :winking:

Seriously, I think the away supporters wheelchair position by the groundsmans hut is a great position to watch the match, almost feel part of the game, specially when a corner is being taken from a foot in front of you
