A lot to be desired

I have experience of challenges around: moving around
Overall Rating
Poor
Despite numerous assurances to the contrary, the "disabled facilities" at this venue are laughable. Amenities for the able bodied are adequate but since January' 'big move' from BT Murrayfield disabled supporters seem to have become an afterthought! It's all very well 'bigging up' Myreside but get your infrastructure sorted out first!
Disabled Access In and Around
Bad
Access to the seats is pretty bad for those in chairs or unsteady on their feet, with uneven ground the main obstacle.
Parking & Transport
Bad
Despite Edinburgh Rugby saying there would be ample disabled parking - there is not. We have to use the cricket club's car park which is too small and very poorly lit. Plus it is a fair treck to the ground - across a busy road too! It is on a bus route though.
Accessible Toilets
0I am told these do exist but they aren't obvious.
Staff
Bad
Except on the gate, they weren't much in evidence either - it would be an idea to have staff on the road crossing!
Additional Information
Edinburgh Rugby moved grounds at the end of January, so this was my fourth visit - I held off writing a review till now to see if things improved, they did not! The so-called disabled seating is positioned so when it rains, we get wet - very wet.
