As it looked like a cluster of fans gathered there so they would be able to rush into the fanzone/crossbar for a HT pint, & it looked like it could be placed several feet further in & avoid the booze crew?
The ‘booze crew’ should still have the good manners not to stand in front of someone sat in a wheelchair trying to watch the game.

They should be shot with shite, ignorant buggers.

The only solution that is needed is that people behave with some consideration to others.

Here we go another stick to beat the club with. Is that actually a disabled area, the official disabled section is in the opposite corner, where the west terrace was.

It is an official disabled section/shelter. We are allowed to have two.
Plus no.one is blaming the club at all, just the inconsiderate, selfish people who stand and block the view of those using the area.
I think the West terrace is a bigger problem though.

Tbh missing 30 mins off a football match for a plastic pint is baffling enough but blocking disabled people views shocking big per spect barrier needed imo.

Says people should stop beating the club a couple of weeks after starting a thread targeting the chairman for not signing a striker.

Perhaps an announcement on the PA to draw attention to it.
