reddoc Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi guys, sorry to bother you with this, I'm after a quick bit of contact advise. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer last weds and got neutered yesterday. Seems I underestimated the pain a little, and I'm a bit concerned that sitting for 90 mins plus on Saturday might be a problem, especially with the ups and downs of letting people past. However I'm pretty sure I'd be ok if I could lean against the walls/barriers around the vomitories. Fairly comfortable standing. I'm equally sure this would make me unpopular with the stewards. Of course I've got 4 days and may improve dramatically over this period. Therefore I'm wondering who I should contact to see if there's a way round this and not leave it till the last minute. I know I could just miss this one, but depending on results {mine not City's) could end up missing a fair bit later, so if I can go, I intend to. I did check the BS and BCFC site but couldn't decide which contact was most appropriate. No sympathy required (as if !) Eunuch jokes gratefully accepted. Thanks in an unusually high voice.

Red Army 75 Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sorry to hear your bad news . I would contact Adam baker or ring the ticket office. I'm sure they could come to some agreement. Obviously the upper tier could be an option plenty of room. But bit of a walk up there. Or an area which isn't busy. I'm sure they could sort something. Hope you feel better soon.

marmite Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Upper tier a good shout and aren't there lifts installed to access it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT, apparently only being sold to supporters with "children" @reddoc Firstly and more importantly, sorry to hear your news and wish you a full and speedy recovery. Often people stand in the back rows of the lower Dolman section, as an example Row 12 below (Block E34 would be perfect for you) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Septic Peg Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hi Reddoc. I would definitely contact @AdamB and I'm sure he can find a quiet spot for you so you don't have to keep moving around. I wish you all the best with your treatment and applaud your humour at such a horrid time. If you can't laugh eh? Get well soon and speedy recovery.

Thanks Peg, as I mentioned above Mark Kelly's been in touch , apparently the club has a special blow up rubber ring for such eventualities, so hopefully sorted.

LondonBristolian Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 The important thing to be aware of is your diagnosis means you have rights under the disability section of the Equality Act. What this means is the club have a duty to make reasonable adjustments so you can still attend the game. For intents and purposes you'd count as an ambulant disabled customer and they should be able to ensure you have an appropriate seat that works for you on request.

Lanterne Rouge Posted August 1, 2017 Report Share Posted August 1, 2017 Sounds like the club have acted quickly and have found a solution that suits so fair play for that. Get well soon fella - I hope if anything like this ever happens to me I can deal with it like you are, respect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
