From Upton Park to the Baseball Ground From Old Trafford to Anfield Road It's the same old story if you're disabled Just token gestures, no real facilities All those clubs so famous and rich Stick the disabled by the side of the pitch Exposed to snow and wind and rain With a limited view of the game But down at Oakwell things are different You don't have to stay at home if you're disabled There's a special stand, with a decent view What big clubs don't consider--Barnsley do!
Are they genuine lyrics? If they are, they are misguided. OK, the facilities are superb at Oakwell, but they are also very good at Old Trafford & pretty good at West Ham too. Can't remember which other grounds you mentioned apart from Derby where it is true, you have to sit at ground level, as I have had a few beers. Things may not be great but they are getting better & I speak with the experience of a disabled supporter who has visiter over 60 different gorunds to watch The Reds play.
Barnsley FC were the FIRST club in the football league to introduce a disabled stand. If that isn't Spackertastic my names The Full Ponty. True
