Do I Have a Claim under the Disability Rights Act?

Ipswich Town are playing at home on Boxing Day, but unfortunately there are no trains between London and Ipswich, so I will be unable to go.

If I could drive, it would not be a problem, but  because of the stroke, I now no longer have a driving licence, or a car available for that matter.  So am I being discrimanated against, especially as I’ve paid for the match with my season ticket?

I can’t even listen to the match on local radio, as I would have done in Suffolk!

I’ve also checked the Supporters Club web site and no-one runs a coach from London.

    I know its not the same…but you can have a very comfy sofa…tea can be served at half time or what ever…and you can stay in the warm!!
    I know that certain BBC Radio Sheffield programmes are avidly followed by folks in Bermuda…
    There is always a Plan B….

    It’s just a tradition with me about going to football on Boxing Day. As a child, I used to go to see Spurs on Christmas morning with my father. Usually, they played a local side like West Ham. The players liked it, as they then went home to christmas lunch and then had a couple of days off before the next match. They always got a good crowd too.

  3. […] Central Line train to Newbury Park for a friend to tase me to the football at Ipswich.  As I said earlier, the direct trains weren’t running.  Instead I tried to take a 25 bus to Ilford, from where […]
