DISABLED FACILITIES

Abergavenny Town Football Club fully supports the principle of equal opportunities and opposes all

forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of disability.

The club recognises that not all of the facilities are fully accessible to disabled spectators and confirms it

is committed to making the necessary reasonable adjustments.
 

Access

​

Access to the stadium is across a level area with no steps and no ramps. Wheelchair users and other

disabled spectators enter the stadium with all other spectators, through the same turnstile and through

the same entrance.

​

Ambulant Disabled

​

There are no specific areas of the ground that facilitate access for the ambulant disabled, however,

there are many seats which can be accessed easily by those persons using crutches, sticks or walking

frames.

​

Parking Arrangements

​

The availability of parking at the stadium is limited with two spaces near the clubhouse entrance.

​

Toilet facilities

​

Toilet facilities for disabled spectators are all easily accessible via a ramp in the clubhouse.

​

Refreshment Facilities

​

These are located on the terrace and in the clubhouse. We recognise that disabled spectators may find

long waiting times to access facilities during congested periods at half-time.

​

Pricing Policy

​

Disabled spectators pay the full entry price with one companion (if required) for free.

​

Stewarding for Disabled Spectators.

​

There are no dedicated stewards with responsibility for assisting disabled spectators. However, all

stewards will help any spectator as required.

​

Guide Dogs

​

Guide dogs are permitted within the stadium.

​

Emergency Evacuation

​

The evacuation plan will depend on the location of any incident. Spectators are requested to follow the

directions and advice of the stewards. Wheelchair using spectators should ideally be accompanied by a

person who can support their needs in the event of an emergency and recommend that this person is

sixteen years of age or above and of good physical and mental health.

​

Wheelchair Access Terraces

​

Provision for wheelchair users is available via two hard standing terraces areas behind the goal and

along the length of the stadium.

​

Stadium Wheelchairs

​

No wheelchairs are available for use by spectators at the stadium.

​

Audit

​

As part of its disability awareness, the club will undertake an annual self-assessment audit.

We aim to ensure that there are no barriers to the use of the stadium by disabled people. It is our

intention to provide information.
