Harrogate Town AFC

Harrogate Town Football Club kindly invited Disability Action Yorkshire (DAY) Charity to visit their ground, The Exercise Stadium, Wetherby Road, Harrogate during match day. The team competes in League Two and the ground capacity is 5,000 (2,000 seated). We, Nigel, Disability Access Co-ordinator at DAY, and Robert, a Board of Trustees member at DAY and a wheelchair user, were extremely impressed with the overall facilities available. Although there are some minor limitations, the welcoming staff and volunteers, the provision in advance of our visit of an access statement, map of the ground and a link to a video providing information as to what expect from the visit and also asking if we required a disabled seat with space for a wheelchair ticket undoubtedly mitigated these. A copy of the map and the video are included in the photo and video/audio sections below.
