graeme_4 35,388 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Morning gents,Tore my ankle ligaments midweek, so currently hobbling about on crutches. Are their any rules about going into Ibrox on them?Sure I heard something about coppers stopping a guy going in or throwing him out cause he was on crutches? Season ticket holder and desperate to be there on Tuesday.Any info would be much appreciated.Cheers! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glasgow_Gaz 23 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I really can't see them refusing entry to you, surely would be a form of discrimination?I can't recall seeing anyone at Ibrox on crutches but it wasnt something I was looking out for. I'm sure you will be alright mate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Negri's Beard 1,423 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Surely not?Honestly, I don't have a definitive answer for you but if they stopped you coming into the ground just because you were on crutches, it would be fucking lunacy.Best of luck with it anyway, maybe worth a phone call to the club?

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Seen a boy on crutches last season in the Main Rear, shouldn't be a problem but best to just clear it with the Club beforehand? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoatbridgeBear 7,113 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There was some guy at Brechin with crutches...if that's any help.He was swinging them in the air too, he better hope the broo don't find out Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nachothelegend 1,932 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If I was you I would call the head of security to find out if you could sit in the disabled section mate.I know its not a dissability but temporary injury however that would IMO be tje only way you would get acccess to a football match in this country.Give them a call the number should be on the website.

Del 667 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 You are 100% allowed in with crutches mate!I used mine for a few months but you see guys and girls with them all the time, just the same as older people with walking sticks etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlCapone 7,678 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 i think its a health and safety thing that you need to be able to exit quickly in an emergency. will be okay as long as you speak to the club in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
devref 201 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 could be an issue down to the saftey side.ie how would you manage to get out safely if something happened.hope not but these laws now are shit Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 35,388 Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks folks. I'll try and give them a call on Monday and see how we go! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BritishBear 34 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 If plod stopped you from entering the stadium, it would be absolute lunacy on their part. Disability Discrimination Act (don't know if the Scottish version is a different name) guarantees you reasonable access.Try contacting the club and if some tim in a uniform tries to stop you, make sure you get his name and number and make a complaint.

Del 667 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Thanks folks. I'll try and give them a call on Monday and see how we go!As i said mate, speaking from personal experience, there is no need to phone anyone!Just give yourself plenty of time to get to and from your seat and you will be fine...

Blue Skies 33 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Here you go http://www.rangers.co.uk/index.php/club/ibrox/first-time-visitorsCrutches Crutches are allowed into the Stadium, they should be placed safely underneath your seat. However, if your leg is in plaster cast and you are unable to bend it unfortunately you will not be able to sit in your allocated seat as you may cause an obstruction. Please contact us to see if we can assist you short term. Those with a long term or permanent requirement for extra leg room should discuss their requirements with Ticket Centre.
