Quote ="Beemmer"Sorry I got the name wrong Langtree park not langdale park after a phone call to Martin Sadler at league express, and him mentioning it to Mr Macmanus he contacted me and aranged for a pass to be left with the car park steward but that still does not explain why the receptionist is still telling people that you have to park at the old Tesco site?. I have nothing bad to say about the facilities in the ground or the stewards they seem to be on a learning curve for their new stadium, just contact them before your team plays there.'"
Hi Beemmer
I have news and it's positive.
I did email the RFL E and D Department and got a response which is positive and knowing the GSO ( Ground Safety Officer) he will deal with it and make sure they are tuned up for the new season to start so hopefully that is one sorted out although feedback from other disabled spectators and their families always helps.
I spoke to the GSO at St Helens and it is clear that in this case the receptionist has provided incorrect information to the individual looking to book tickets. As you aware parking is a premium at the new stadium They have a total of 57 accessible parking places at the stadium and of those 15 have been allocated to home fans. Disabled fans should never be asked to park at the Old Tesco ground. The GSO also confirmed that disabled fans can also drop off disabled fans before going to park in the car park. The GSO said he was going straight down to reception to ensure all the staff there and at the tickets office were aware of correct policies. From what I can gather the new stadium and staff have had a steep learning curve and they anticipate all these issues will have been ironed out by the start of the season.
This statement tells me that this was just a mistake by office staff and it will be sorted Beemmer.
