We've brought up that problem nd the club acknowledged it and I believe they'll find a way to deal with it. They'll be talking to the Disabled Fans' Rep, Mark Todd, about various accessibility issues. I suggest you drop him an email.I have a different problem. I’m disabled now and in a wheelchair, can’t walk, use my hands or go to the toilet myself. I therefore have a personal assistant who can attend with me. However, I live alone in an extra care home now, so my PA is not always the same person. Any ideas @Prestwich_Blue ?
In the email we received info on the subject of photo ID it said more detail was to follow, the biggest one for me was the Under 5 change (or maybe it had always been there but I'd ignored it - innocently of course)
Under 5s
All supporters entering the stadium, regardless of age, need to have purchased and be in possession of their own ticket. This includes babes in arms. This is a safety requirement which we must adhere to in order to remain compliant with our Stadium licensing conditions.
It'll be interesting about the question of sharing tickets as that probably won't come out until the amnesty is over. Then what draconian rules after the amnesty. But like people say, next season won't matter and we might have lost a lot of regulars by then
Cheers Colin. I thought Mark had resigned?We've brought up that problem nd the club acknowledged it and I believe they'll find a way to deal with it. They'll be talking to the Disabled Fans' Rep, Mark Todd, about various accessibility issues. I suggest you drop him an email.
Mark Barber resigned to be replaced by Mark Todd.Cheers Colin. I thought Mark had resigned?
yes mate i spoke to customer services.Don’t think he said he spoke to customer services, from my reading he’s made the assumption. I suggested it probably isn’t the case for taking a child. He’d need to check. @goatinho may confirm.
Under 5s have never needed a ticket in the past, I've looked into that previously.
I too am worried that these are measures that will not go away post covid, if there is such a thing.
I tried that with my 30 year old son when he came over from the States 3 years ago it they wouldn't have it. I think I could have got away with him being big for his age but the beard was the giveaway.Yeah it was their babes in arms policy, you tended to be okay at most grounds with it too bar Wembley. They would tell you unofficially under 5, and eventually published the same thing. Too be honest some people took the piss taking in 8 year olds, you would see the same kid; "HARRY 6", "HARRY 7", "HARRY 8" on his shirts in subsequent seasons, kind of gave the game away.

There are probably 5 year olds who weigh more than him.Carrying him in could be tricky,
