My good Villa friend Wend is severly disabled, and a wheelchair user. Wednesday night at St Andrews she had to be carried down stairs by stewards because the lift broke. The disabled toilets were smashed up so she had to use the mens. She was a few seats away from being hit by a flare. This has made me cry, a true and loyal Villa fan being treated like a third class citizen.

Birmingham v Liverpool

First visit to St.Andrews, Ground easily found when travelling from the south Coventry road, Disabled parking free and in the same car park as visiting coaches, Main car park attendant wasn't aware of this so go staraight to visitors car park. Entry to ground through big gates for all fans so no problem, Large ramp down to entrence into stadium can be a bit of a push back up hill on way out.
I was in raised area, even though the LFC fans stood up still had an unobstructed view so this was a plus. Had to be taken there via a lift in the home section. I could see the pitch side wheelchair position ,looked a little crowded in front of them, as all the photographers were seated in front but can't say what the view was like.
No free drink or pies for us I wonder why. Toilet ok once the none disabled stopped using them. Stewards very helpful and keen to assist all in all not a bad day other than the result.
Would return again with no worries almost perfect other than the pitch side spaces.

Very well looked after, stewards friendly and we recieved a voucher for a FREE hot drink and pie at halftime, a nice gesture on a bitterly cold day. Disabled toilets had easy access and a very pleasurable experience. Looking forward to returning next season.
