They are selfish and unconcerned, and it feels like they only do the job for a free match ticket. I understand the facilities in the stadium are not great but there is no excuse for a poor attitude. It’s getting to the stage where I hate going to home matches because of the attitude of people. My son went to the toilet at half time and when we came back, there was stewards stood in his space talking with fans, meaning that he couldn’t get back in and the rest of the walkway was blocked off. It is as if we weren’t even there and they just carried on their conversations. This isn’t a new thing, and happens most weeks. At the last home match we were completely blocked from entering the stadium by a group of stewards, photographers and safety officers, who ignored us as we tried to get past. My son uses a powerchair and sits in the wheelchair user spaces at the front of the Park End. We love Everton & We were caught between a rock & a hard place (almost having to give up watching them)- We are Penalised because we cannot get tickets for away games as My Son would need accessible seats, I have recently been in touch with Brendan Connolly regarding tickets for watford away ( a fixture that is right on Our door step, and was told to contact him a couple of days later- I subsequently mailed him & I have mailed him again enquiring about accessible tickets For the semi final at Wembley ( a week has gone by & still no response!!) ![]() When my son became an Adult We had to move to the Paddock-it was then that we tried to get a disabled Season ticket & were told that despite paying for two tickets for a number of Years & travelling a 400 mile round trip for each home game (the only way that we would be able to watch Everton reguarly was by Stumping up again for two tickets).Īlan Bowen the Stadium Manager very kindly helped locate two tickets in the Paddock for My Son & I and he wheel’s his chair to a spot just in front of Our Seats, Then I have to help him swivel his body over the wall & guide him to his seat. ![]() We have been unable to get a Disabled season Ticket due to the fact that we were told that there was a waiting list, for years I used to put My son’s chair in the Disabled toilets(until We were told we could no longer do this & We had to leave it in an area whereby it was exposed to the elements)-I then had to piggy back My son to our seats in the Family enclosure (two rows from the front). ![]() My gripe is at Brendan Connolly THe Disability Liaison Officer at Everton-My Son who has Cerebral Palsy & is Wheelchair Bound have been Season Ticket Holders approx 12 years -firstly in the Family enclosure & latterly in the Paddock.
