    154 disabled spaces?

    Telegraph has been monitoring progress in meeting space targets and we have the lowest number in the PL by far with only 42. Watford the next lowest have 92.
    We have till the end of 2017-2018 to get to 154.

    Equality act requires action and Man U and Chelsea and 7 others including Burnley do not comply.

    these are the people i feel so sorry for they have to sit out in all weathers at the side of the pitch in the summer the turf is cold in dec jan etc why can we not give these people a decent covered place with all the money we have floating around it can not cost much to sort out .they are fans like anyone else sort it out .we are making a new memorial garden then also do this for the ones who are alive and still getting on the ground ran over

    Over many years in general the disabled have not been looked after,fortunately I think times are changing.Hopefully we can not only provide the parking spaces that are required but also the necessary toilets etc etc

    Think some places are for Away fans. Man U only have 120 so we probably don't have that many.

    There are two who come bombing out of Turf Moor post-match on mobility scooters that are intent to kill anyone who gets in their way.

    It's bonkers it really is!

    I take my disabled nephew to watch Notts and they don't have any,there are about half a dozen spaces on the road outside the ground but they aren't anything to do with Notts and its on a first come first served basis,we often park outside the Trent End at Forest on busy days which isn't too bad tbh,sometimes there just isn't the space to suddenly find the space for 100 odd extra spaces
