Overall Rating

Good

As a disabled season ticket holder I find pittodrie friendly and everyone is helpful. I'm not wheelchair bound, but I do use crutches to move around. As a disabled person I'm entitled to a free carers seat alongside my own seat. The stewards help me too my seat by holding my spare crutch as I use the rail to pull me up. When trying to find my season ticket seat the ticket office were super helpful and in order to get my carer's seat I supplied them with a copy of my PIP award letter. The toilets are a bit of a squeeze but still usable and clean with sanitary products provided if a lady gets caught short. I use a lift to get to the floor I need. I also know as I've met the provider that there is a service that blind supporters of both sides can listen to slightly bias commentary (he used to sit behind me but the language got too ahem colourful.) The only downside to being in the upper lower deck is there's no refreshment stand as its mainly made up of corporate entertainment. The disabled parking unfortunately is on a hill which is not ideal there are some are flat but they are reserved. However there is also a regular bus service that has wheelchair spaces with ramp and they also lean too mostly equipped with WiFi. There's also a local taxi service that has a desk at the corporate entrance of the Richard Donald Stand where the taxis go right up to the door with wheelchair access vehicles provided.
