The "Visiting Disabled Supporters Information Sheet" supplied with the tickets was a useful document to receive. Facilities and services are fully described. However, only 2 parking spaces are available for visiting supporters next to the ground, which is essential for larger wheelchair-accessible vehicles. Disabled help stewards were situated at the entrance to the stadium, but there was no assistance to our seat/position (as stated on information sheet). Very confusing for away fans as wheelchair bays are not marked out. Wheelchairs have to be positioned in front of the first row, and as they are wider than the standard seat width, the helper has to stand-there is no room for them to sit alongside. Matchday steward on pitch remained standing after the game had started, catering staff appeared not to have received disability awareness training and were very unhelpful, and there were no disabled help stewards located in the concourse to provide assistance with purchasing programmes/visiting toilet. Disappointing overall.
