A Derby County fan, Alex Steward, who uses a wheelchair, is fed up with the poor facilities at League One grounds. She’s been following the Rams for a decade and is considering not going to away games anymore because of the bad views and limited access to toilets. She just wants to enjoy the football like everyone else. Alex and her dad, Mark, have been loyal fans of Derby County for years, finding solace and joy in the game. However, the move to smaller stadiums after Derby’s relegation has been disappointing, with obstructed views and inadequate seating. This has left Alex feeling upset and considering not attending away matches anymore. The Level Playing Field charity has also found an increase in complaints about stadium accessibility, prompting the English Football League to work on improving facilities for disabled fans. Despite this, Alex is still unsure about attending away matches due to the ongoing issues.
