This is why I wish they would employ me to do an NVQ assessment on all the stewards in the super league, hardly any of them would pass.

I had a disabled parking ticket allocated by St Helens.

When I arrived a 12, I was directed to the away disabled parking area.

This was at the other end of the stadium at the back of the home standing stand.

When I asked if I could park in a disabled space nearer to the away stand I was told emphatically NO!!
It then took me 10 mins to walk back to the away stand!!

A lady I know, who is more disabled than myself, came on one of the coaches, it took her nearly 25 mins to get to the away stand because there isn't any allocated parking for coaches.

There no way she would have been able to walk it back to the coach as it would have been much too much for her. They ended up having to get on public transport just outside the stadium into the town centre then get a bus to Wigan!!

Absolutely disgraceful situation, especially when there are parking facilities next to the away stand which could be utilised for away disabled supporters & coaches.

Anyone that had a problem should write to the RFL, and copy the letter to St Helens. This is disgraceful.

That's all well intentioned Tony but you'd be better checking their IQ first!
