Help and advice anyone...?
Friend with visual impairment who lives locally and who is a Newcastle Nut. He wants 2 tickets (for himself and his carer) in the away end for the Newcastle match on 6th January.
The ticket office Customer Prevention Officer insisted that 'rules is rules' and the disabled person would have to buy his tickets from Newcastle...bit of a problem since he isn't a Newcastle season ticket holder; AND he would need a serious amount of assistance to obtain tickets.
I've already bought my own season ticket seat. As a Potters' Foundation member, I can buy 2 additional tickets. I've emailed the Club about this situation (mentioned that I'm an SCFC season ticket holder of 20 years and will be happy to vouch for said person and his carer) but as yet have received no solution. It seems daft - and potentially dangerous! - to buy tickets for an away fan in the home section of the ground...but this seems to be the only choice left.
Anyone got any ideas please? PLEASE?!

BBC 1, All the stoke disabled bays will be taken by our fans and rightly so.

I suppose Stoke are just trying to be fair. It should be up to Newcastle how they distribute tickets for their supporters. Season ticket holders etc. should get priority.
Maybe you could write or e.mail Newcastle United explaining the situation. Perhaps they will help out.
