Why disabled punters are not at the races
We think not. We attended Mallow Races on Saturday, Jan 4 (we being my husband, my 15-year-old son, my 10-year-old wheelchair-bound son and myself).
In the new stand, just in front of the finish line, there is a platform which has a large blue sign, ‘Wheelchairs only’ on the ramp. When we went towards it for the second race, it was full, but not one wheelchair person was to be seen. I pushed my son onto the ramp and we got out to the front rail. (He loves racing and has the odd flutter).
