    Today is Max's first ever matchday! Max and his Mum can do this today because @WBA has installed a sensory room. Sensory Rooms are vital tools to provide a fully accessible match day for so many sport fans and we look forward to them being introduced more across sport.

    We have written to UEFA asking why only 38 wheelchair user spaces have been provided to @LFC when the Stade de France claims to have 550 wheelchair user spaces. What has happened to those other spaces? Read the full statement via the link below levelplayingfield.org.uk/news-item/leve…
    Level Playing Field press statement: Today Level Playing Field wrote to UEFA to ask, 'why only 14% of available wheelchair user spaces have been offered to disabled supporters who might require this accessible space.'

We have recently been made aware, by several enquiries, that Liverpool Football Club has been allocated only 38 wheelchair user spaces for the Champions League final at the Stade de France in Paris. 

We believe Real Madrid has been allocated the same amount, 38 wheelchair spaces. That's 76 in total.

However, there are 550 wheelchair user spaces available at the Stade de France? That's only 14% of the available space allocation to both sets of fans. 

What has happened to the other 474 spaces?
