bluesteel 218 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 I have parked in the Mafeking car park for a number of years this season I have been asked to apply for an access card thro a private firm,costs £15 for 3 years (Rangers pay), it's interesting that the club have come up with this,they must suspect that some occupants are not fully entitled to use their various disabled car parks.

kplfishtank 4,656 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Mate there was too many folk using this that shouldn't have been, it's a shame your being charged but maybe this will help them regulate it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know mate. Our work used to have access to it but had to leave before 12 on a Saturday or 4-30 midweek. Like you say I've seen folk going into it looking fitter than me.

scottyscott1963 18,208 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Well done the club for paying this fee for the next 5 year Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Del 667 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Where is this and how do you get access to it? I have been paying to park in the albion car park for the past few seasons as its the closest we can get to the stadium as I have been told there are no disabled parking facilities?

You need to contact the club but there is a waiting list for disabled spaces as far as I am aware. We applied for a space for my late wife but didn't get one before she passed away. There are a very limited number actual disabled spaces with the extra space allowances but I believe they are very much at a premium. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted Rangers a couple of years ago and ended up meeting Gordon Smith to discuss is and they had ideas on creating a drop off zone etc near the broomloan stand but nothing every came of it. Will let you know how I get on Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegecko 306 Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Was on the list for 4yrs myself but thankfully my health has improved sufficiently that I have taken myself off the list. Would hate to be taking a space needed more by another. I currently use one of the car parks on the broomloan Rd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ps95v7 387 Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Parking for the disabled at Ibrox is nothing short of a bloody disgrace. I have bad mobility problems park at the Albion (except for the last game at Ibrox last season "glory hunters" another story) trying to push a wheelchair from the Albion to Ibrox is a disgrace dropped kerbs are poor. RFC have put their head in the sand over this issue they could be taken to court under the DDA due to unsafe or lack of access ability. If anybody knows of a good disability car park at Ibrox have Blue Badge willing to pay. my health has deteriated over the last few years hence the concern.

What stand are you in bro,there is wheel chair access in the west enclosure I agree the % of disabled space is well below what it should be for the capacity Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
