Spectator Viewing areas
Home supporters have 153 spaces for wheelchair users available to them; 67 are reserved for season ticket holders and 84 are issued on a match by match basis. 15 spaces for wheelchair users for away fans located with home supporters.
NB: There are also 17 wheelchair user spaces located in hospitality areas.
Accessible positions for wheelchair users can be found in the Main Stand which has 80 positions spread across the stand as follows: Lower level 50 positions, Middle level 16 positions and Upper level 14 positions. The Kop stand has 52 positions and the Anfield Road stand has 36 positions. All spaces situated in the Kop and Anfield Road Lower are pitch level offering partial cover. Personal assistant seats are situated either behind or next to the wheelchair user spaces.
Liverpool FC have an unlimited amount of tickets for ambulant disabled supporters and offer up to 2 complementary personal assistant tickets depending on the level of assistance required. Whilst ambulant disabled supporters can sit anywhere within the stadium Liverpool FC also have a dedicated area for ambulant supporters in the Main Stand Lower (Blocks L8 & L9) as this is the most accessible area of the stadium with wider walkways and seats with extra legroom.
NB: Under existing minimum standards for accessible stadia, the club should have 238 wheelchair spaces (202 home and up to 36 away). 75% of these should be elevated positions and the remaining 25% pitchside.
LPF’s view is that many disabled supporters should be able to access general seating areas and only those with specific needs eg those who require extra legroom, or access via aisle seats or who need step free access etc should be allocated seats in the dedicated areas.
Based on the above, the club therefore only meets 71% of the guidance and has a shortfall of 70 wheelchair spaces. They should be working on a plan to rectify this deficit within a reasonable timeframe under the auspices of a full independent Access Audit.
NB: The stadium is undergoing redevelopment during 2016 and this information is subject to change. Please check back for updates or contact the club directly on 0151 432 5678.
