Ffs. There are other venues in Carmarthen. Poor by the club to still go through with this.

Says supported by the trust. Announced via the club. Both culpable.

That’s just not good enough, they should have gone to Carmarthen Athletic RFC. It’s out of town, plenty of parking and all on 1 level.

Very odd in this day and age for an organization to arrange a venue for something like this and not to have accessibility as one of the main features that venues need to have. It's a bit worrying that we have people booking things like this without taking that into account.

There might be more to this - maybe the arrangements they have for those that need it work well and it's not just 'we'll grab a few burly lads to carry you up the stairs'. People mean well with that but it's not always the most dignified way of getting somewhere. Just book venues that are accessible. End of story.

Maybe the club hasn't read its own survey

That is absolutely shocking to be fair.

And it’s not only disabled supporters but older supporters who can’t do stairs who won’t manage either.

Not good enough. If the club can’t pick this up (which is, incidentally ridiculous), then surely someone at the Trust should.

Another example of how the Trust are about as useful as a jelly dildo.

I mean surely the DSA (Disabled Supporters Association I am assuming) would bring this up rather than just warn our disabled members that they would have difficulty attending?

 

[Longlostjack]

Incredible. Lack of basic common sense.

I really hate unforced errors

Does this not come under deliberate direct discrimination contrary to the Equalities Act?

More likely to come under the gross stupidly act...
