lulu97 Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Apologies if this is in the wrong place but I'm not on the boards much (9 month old stealing all my free time!) these days... Please help if you can! A colleague from East Ayrshire council works with a disabled fan who has a ticket for Wembley - now usually he gets his career ticket with that but the FA aren't doing that ? So he has booked two train tickets and two hotels rooms and he is now worried he will have wasted his money as he can't travel without a carer. If anyone has a ticket he could use for a carer could you please get in touch and I will pass your details over to my colleague. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lulu97 Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) Sadly my colleague wasn't able to take up the opportunity a few fans got in contact about due to what I assume are council regulations So... trying a new tactic - this is not a ticket request since that is unlike to happen now. Originally I had asked if anyone had a ticket they could sell to a disabled fan whose disabled persons ticket is not recognised by the FA and so does not have ticket for a carer. He has bought a train ticket and a hotel room for a carer but at this point won't able to go because he can travel without a carer. So the new plea is - would anyone who already has a ticket be willing to act as a carer for a disabled fan? No special training is needed except maybe the ability to navigate well and to stay sober enough to do the navigation! If you think you might be able to help please let me know and I'll put you in contact with my colleague who works with the fan.

I'm not going so can't help buy really surprised you've not had a single reply let alone possible help. Often tickets appear at the last minute so hopefully somebody, somehow will step up. I'd consider contacting either FA as they may be able to help, especially under the circumstances of being a carer for someone else. They must have lots of last minutes, unused tickets and could do the right thing to help out. You could/should email the SFA or FA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lulu97 Posted November 10, 2016 Author Share Posted November 10, 2016 Thanks for the offers of help, the fan now has a family member traveling with him but they can only get him as far as the ground. I know the TA look after their own and with a bit of luck the stewards will give some assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
