Dr Rosena Allin-Khan, Labour’s Shadow Sports Minister, responding to the Culture, Media and Sport select committee report on the accessibility of sports stadia, said:
“This report highlights the continuing inaction by a number of clubs in providing adequate facilities for disable fans attending matches.
“While there have been improvements by a number of leading clubs throughout British sport in general, it’s clear that in some areas such as the Premier League, increased revenues through new TV and commercial deals has not led to the necessary improvements in stadium accessibility or match day experiences for these fans.
“The Premier League must reconfirm its commitment to disabled fans and compel clubs to make suitable investment to ensure its matches are accessible to all.”
