Disabled Access

Newcastle Thunder Rugby League Football Club (hereafter known as the Club) does not, and will not, discriminate against spectators and is committed to encouraging and ensuring that all our spectators, both disabled and non-disabled have a great match day experience visit, and are able to access and enjoy the facilities at Crow Trees Ground. To this end, the Club will take a proactive approach and wherever possible make reasonable adjustments to ensure our disabled supporters visit to the stadium is as accessible, comfortable, pleasant and trouble free as possible.

The Club acknowledges its duties and responsibilities under the Equalities Act 2010 (incorporating the DDA) and is committed to working towards making the stadium as accessible as possible to disabled supporters. The Club recognises that due to the original layout and design of parts of the ground accessibility is challenging, however, the Club continually monitors its provision for disabled supporters and will strive to improve or upgrade facilities, policies and procedures to the benefit of disabled supporters.

Summary of existing Club facilities for disabled supporters:

The Club has a small area of the car park reserved for accessible parking; this is a limited blue badge parking area for access to the Club House. In addition we have parking pitch-side where you can view the game from the comfort of your vehicle if you so choose.

The Club operates a policy of charging the full ticket price for disabled spectators. Where a disabled spectator chooses to bring a PA/carer with them they will also be required to pay full price.

 The current toilet provision for wheelchair users is located within the entrance to the Club House.
