A father and son call on the AFL and MCG not to allow TV networks to use marked wheelchair space, after struggling to find appropriate seating during a footy game.
abc.net.au/news/footy-fans-wheelchair-access-at-the-mcg-afl/102109098A father and son are calling on the AFL and MCG not to allow TV networks to use marked wheelchair space, after struggling to find appropriate seating during a footy game.
He said they had done this multiple times in the past, preferring this arrangement over wheelchair access seating on lower levels. Disappointed, the pair moved to a wheelchair area on level one but felt they could hardly see the ground."You often have people sitting in front of you, standing up at important moments during the game, fully blocking your view," Darren Cunningham said."It's just awful and a vastly different experience."Loading Twitter content
Despite being happy with their new spots, the men said their experience raised the principle of keeping wheelchair zones available — just like parking spots for the disabled.
