FACILITIES FOR SUPPORTERS USING WHEELCHAIRS
It is the club policy that one helper with any disabled person using a wheelchair receives their admission to the ground free of charge. The wheelchair-bound fan is required to pay the normal wheelchair admission price for that particular game. Season tickets will be available for both the wheelchair supporter and their personal assistant.
In conjunction with the proof of disability, this concession will only be available to those people who meet the eligibility criteria described below:-
Wheelchair using applicants must be largely confined to a wheelchair, or not capable of walking a distance further than that required to reasonably and safely access any other part of the stadium.
Wheelchair using applicants should ideally, also be accompanied by a person who is capable of supporting the disabled person's needs in the event of an emergency. For this reason the club strongly recommends that a person is sixteen years of age or over and not be infirm.
FACILITIES FOR SUPPORTERS WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS
The club allow visually impaired supporters and if required, their personal assistants to choose their seats in the stadium. The pricing of tickets will be the same as supporters using wheelchairs.
Match commentary is provided by Singleton Hospital's radio service, Radio City. The headsets to receive this commentary are provided by the club free of charge. Eligibility for this concession requires proof of disability as described previously or each person can provide a copy of their registration document which certifies they are Registered Blind or Registered Partially Sighted or provide qualifying documentation from their optician equivalent to registration requirements.
The club strongly recommends that each visually impaired person attending a match should be accompanied by as person who is fully able to support their needs in an emergency.
Guide Dogs are allowed into the stadium but the club insist that supporters with guide dogs contact the club before the match so that we can discuss with them access to the ground, facilities inside the ground and the welfare of the guide dog before, during and after the match.
