The campaign aims to raise funds towards the development of a brand-new, purpose-built wheelchair viewing area, set to be installed in the corner between the Osmond Stand and the Ramsdens Stand ahead of the 2026/27 season

The planned facility will provide:

- Additional wheelchair spaces with companion seating
- A covered, weatherproof viewing area
- Accessible toilet provision
- A raised platform for improved sightlines
- Step-free ramp access
- Entry via upper stand turnstiles


£36k needed. Plenty of plans and events taking place, starting with a draw for a match-worn Kieran Green shirt - https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/kieran-green-202526-match-worn-shirt

Bad idea in my opinion.
We’ll be needing that corner for temporary seats next season

Technically wheelchairs would be temporary seats, as they leave after the game...

Not sure if anyone got any footage of it, but during the downpour v Man Utd rainwater was gushing out of the mainstand gutters straight onto the wheelchair users below. It was absolutely ridiculous, so here’s hoping everyone digs deep for a worthy cause. I’ll be chucking in on Saturday once my purse strings have been loosened by a few Cruzcampos on the way to Tranmere

Brilliant news for our disabled supporters who have been getting a very short straw for years.

Rephrasing this as a question - Has any consideration been made to incorporating this into a larger structure at a later date?

I have donated but was a bit concerned that when taken to the THANKS page, there was another Crowdfunder for something called "Home is Where The Harm Is" underneath it and the only options were Give a One Off Donation or Set Up Monthly Donations.  This is slightly confusing as there are no other options to press.

If we all forgo a half time artisan scotch egg, we'll raise this in no time.
