The stadium seems to have been built with every consideration for people with accessibility issues but that's no good if they can't make it to the stadium in the first place. As some on here might remember, I had my right leg amputated at hip level 5 years ago and I dreaded trying to go the match again at Goodison as we sat in the Upper Bullens.

Through a bit of trial and error, we managed to get a match day routine that worked. Getting the ground early, parking in a side street on double yellows and going in the ground as soon as the gates opened. I used to leave on 85 mins and I missed some proper limbs moments (pun intended) like Tarkowski's goal in the derby but I still managed to get the game.

BMD could be the final nail in the coffin for me though. It looks like I might be able to park in the car park of a company we do business for half a mile from BMD but even that, when I mobilize on crutches, could be too much. I guess I will find out in the coming weeks but if it becomes too much then my 45 years of going the match will be done
