Bill 13,717 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Can anyone remind me please, when is the construction work due to start on the new facilities for supporters in wheelchairs and have any plans been made available? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,195 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 @forlanssister is the man for this question But I think construction is supposed to start next summer - and I do believe that plans were either made available or verbalised - think (could definitely be wrong) was at the same time they looked into the feasibility of dropping the pitch a little to add seats as well. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus, I think that there is UEFA regulation about wheelchair access - again, could be wrong on that though. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
26th of foot 5,832 Posted November 7, 2023 Share Posted November 7, 2023 Last season's AGM was in December, it was announced that construction on the proposed extensive wheelchair facilities would begin this coming close season. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last update I had was Broomloan and Copland (both wheelchair areas and cantilevers) to be done at the end of the season. Govan delayed at least one year. The plans are yet to be finalised to the best of my knowledge and is always the case with these things some details have changed several times. Was scheduled to attend a meeting with updates next week but that has now been postponed. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been so long since I saw anything made public that I wondered if there was a problem with planning consent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
