I can confirm that the construction of the second platform is completed.

The part to enable the lift to stop at both levels has taken longer than initially advised as the rail has needed to be adapted.

However, we are hopeful that this will be in place for the Newcastle game in April 2020.

The gate to separate this area has been specified and will also be in place for that game.

We have looked at the ambulant seating option but this is not something we are considering at the moment but Dan and I will discuss feasibility once the season is finished.

Hi Liz,
Many thanks from all at the Disability Advisory Group for such a great job which ensures the safety of visiting wheelchair fans and provides an unobstructed view of the pitch, making a visit to the Vitality Stadium an enjoyable one regardless of the score line!
