Despite Lord Coe stating that the disabled will be able to go to the games they still fail to realise that some of us have families that need to be able to sit together and not just one person with the disabled person.

They state that families/others in the party will be nearby.  Tell me how that works then?

We have one wheelchair user - my husband, myself and a 10 year old disabled child.  Applying for a disabled wheelchair user ticket we get a complimentary carer ticket and then the child ticket, according to their rules can be ..................nearby.

We will wait and see.  But as usual they do not believe adults with disabilities requiring a wheelchair space should have children or be able to enjoy a session with their friends and familiy altogether.  And...............this is in a 2010/2011 built stadium.

OK rant over

That's ridiculous! It would be nice to see whoever organised that one try it themselves.
Let us know how you get on.
