Evening all
Has anyone been to a game on crutches?
Having a knee op tomorrow and will be strictly non weight bearing for six weeks, so (pain permitting) planning on travelling over to East Anglia for a bit of recuperation next week.
Boy is desperate to go back to PR - would like to take him to the Wycombe game.
Any advice/thoughts appreciated - cheers |  | | |  |

Have you thiought about getting a seat in the disabled area? Will have easier access and dedicated lifts if you want to go to upper tier, plus some extra space too. Worth calling the club. Most of the remaining seats are RV at the back of the side stands, so not going to be easy to get to seat. |  | | |

Contact the club and usually they are really helpful. Snr did it years ago and was fine, but I think since then the club will happily move you/accommodate you.
Think the man you want is Lee Smith - he helped out an elderly fan who had mobility issues and seems like a top bloke. |  |

Indeed, think a few others on here who have broken legs or similar have done the same. Club have been very helpful. Lee, the disability officer, is indeed the man to speak to, his email is lee.smith@itfc.co.uk |  | | |

Ask them if you can sit in one of those fancy new blue seats near the halfway line. | | | |

I was actually on crutches in the East (Cobbold ) as one of the record-breaking 38010 crowd. The press of the crowd provided its own lift for me, but I think that Health and Safety would likely now shut the turnstile on me - not to mention about 10000 of the others too. | |

My son was on crutches once. We called the club to check what we should do and the Safety Officer called us back. From memory he said it was ok to sit in the seats we had booked (family section) and he would advise the stewards that he would be on crutches. He thanked us for calling as often people don’t apparentky. [Post edited 27 Mar 2023 20:43]

Nephew broke his leg earlier this season and was relocated to the disabled section, plus a free ticket for his ‘carer’/guardian. |  |

Defo contact the club re your mobility issues. If nothing else you’re a health & safety issue in a crowd I’m Afraid. I’m assuming you’d need to elevate that leg , and there’s no discernible in a normal seating area Doug has to be the disabled area. Plus you’d need “ letting in to the ground” via a side entrance and not a turnstyle as doing that on crutches likely to be problematic . I speak from experience when I had a total hip replacement… club were VERY accommodating but don’t leave it too late to get things organised . |  |

Not to be advised but I saw a bloke on crutches working his way up to the West Upper last game. It looked bloody difficult. |  | | |

I’d second the advice to contact the Club as soon as poss,seats in the Disabled sections sell out very quickly.The whole question of these areas needs addressing. |  | | |
