Overview

As a season ticket holder at Pittodrie, I obviously attend very regularly. However, as much as I love 'The Dons', I must admit that the 118 year old stadium is not very wheelchair friendly. It all starts with there being very few disabled parking spaces so arrive early or be forced to park quite a fair bit away from the stadium. Once inside the stadium, the view is pretty poor as you're on floor level and have to put up with the substitutes warming up in front of you as well as stewards going back and fore. There is only one accessible refreshments kiosk and that is located in the Richard Donald Stand so if you're like me and are coming to sit in the Merkland Stand, you will have to ask somebody to get you some refreshments when required. The atmosphere at Pittodrie on normal match-days is pretty poor but if you choose to come to a game where we play Celtic or Rangers, you're in for a treat as we normally get a full-house and everyone is 'buzzing'. No complaints about the toilets, they're fully accessible and staff are also very helpful and always say hello. So I may not sound like an Aberdeen fan after this review but the Dons are a very good team and watching them play makes you forget about all of the issues for 90 minutes so if you choose to come along one weekend, I wish you a great time. If you have anymore questions, feel free to tweet me @jaymoir14
