No need to wonder what the state of play is with Ibrox's disability services. It is simply an embarrassment to our club and the attitudes have not changed for years. From Martin Bain promising the earth and exchanging mobile numbers at an agm in the early noughties to the present day broken promises. Rangers FC do very little, nothing at all when they can get away with it. Or a token gesture when there is a pr opportunity or someone else is paying for it. Like the sensory room and the spaces at the front of the east enclosure. And you can add the 4 broomie spaces that were done simply to avoid an action by celtic for non provision of disabled spaces when they visited.
Forget that euro rules now state what provision must be made for disabled supporters, what choices the must have, what facilities they should have and how many should have access to the aforementioned basic requirements. Common decency and respect should be enough. But this season our club has once again gone back to their hands over the ears policy and done absolutely nothing. There have been no improvements in regard to facilities for our disabled supporters, no extra spaces to cope with demand and no further choice of viewing areas. Simply put, just another year putting up with the shambles that has been in place for so long. So the disgusting treatment of our disabled support continues as normal, with obviously no will to change it. As the previous years of neglect and broken promises make abundantly clear. Utterly disgraceful.
Our rsc had a 4.5 hour bus trip home on sunday and our disabled member still had water running out of his arse when we got home. I get it was monsoon conditions and you can wrap up well and seemingly waterproof but eventually, you lose.
Maybe the answer is to have a roof over your head for the couple of hours watching our team? Yes, I know, a somewhat radical thought in the 21st century.
But no doubt Rangers FC, as they have done for such a long time, will be doing further consultations and costings this tear, the fresh promises will be honoured and things will be dramatically changed for the better next season. If they are stuck they can always ask the likes of Partick Thistle for advice on how to do it.
Anyone and everyone campaign indeed, unless you are in a wheelchair. Then common decency goes out of the window and you will be treated like shit and denied your basic rights.
It is about time this was fucking sorted once and for all.
