A very warm welcome from the disabled stewards who looked after us for the game, a good view but might have been a problem as they allow their own wheelchair fans to sit right in front of you at pitchside! lucky there was room for us to move or we would not have been able to see all the game, overall a very pleasant experience. Free parking for disabled away fans, good toilet facilities and food and drink all ok. Looking forward to going back again

Parked over the road in a multi-storey car park (as directed). The tickets were collected very easily from the gate as we entered. No obvious signage as to where to enter the ground.
The wheelchair spaces in the Brittania Stand are the worst situated I have come across - as noted previously, they are below pitch level and right in one corner of the ground. If the action is at the other end of the pitch you have no idea what is happening. Having your carer sat about 12 feet behind you is a bit of a pain as well.
Didn't use WC or concessions so can't comment really but the main thing about the facilities at Portman Road is that the view is awful!!!!

Car parking for 50 disabled supporters on a first come first served basis. I arrived at 12.30pm for a 3pm kick-off but there were still spaces available at 1.30pm.
No particularly obvious disabled signage but accessible turnstiles near stand entrances. For wheelchair access to Brittania Lower stand, the entrance is some 400m + to wheelchair position.
Brittannia Lower tier ,which is used for away wheelchair supporters, is 2 feet below pitch level. There is also 2 rows of wheelchair positions so if you are at the rear section, you would not be able to see above/through wheelchairs in front. Helpers are situated behind the wheelchairs which is again not ideal.
I was fortunate to get a seat in the new elevated North stand which is for home supporters only and offers a �fantastic� view with no obstructions whatsoever. The best disabled facilities I have ever been in. Pity it is only available for home supporters. Other wheelchair platforms are on partially elevated and may offer better views but all pitchside ones are below pitch level.
Nearby �bar� and refreshment facilities were available and accessible in the North Stand. Brittania Lower were some distance away.
Toilet provision in North stand was excellent although door was very heavy to open on your own.
Overall a very impressive facility in the North Stand. Less impressive elsewhere but the club are aware of this and the local DSA/Warner offers a very efficient ticket collection service for home fans.
We appreciate any donations made to the charity
