Liverpool’s Disabled Supporters Association have hit out at UEFA after learning that 76% of wheelchair bays will not be used at Saturday's Champions League final against Real Madrid, describing the decision as "totally unacceptable". The Reds have been allocated only 38 spaces despite there being room for 550 designated places at Stade de France.
The charity Level Playing Field has written to UEFA seeking an explanation after learning that Real have been offered the same amount, meaning more than three quarters of wheelchair areas will be left empty.
“This would be a meagre allocation in any circumstances for a game of this magnitude but given the Stade de France usually has 550 spaces available it is totally unacceptable,” Ted Morris of the LDSA told Mirror Football. “We have over 200 wheelchair bays at Anfield and as a result of the shortfall many of our supporters who are wheelchair users have been left disappointed.
