What a farce

The Beevor Court closure is hardly an inconvenience. Its less than half a mile whichever way you go from Beevor Court entrance to the ground . Using google maps directions on foot its 0.4 mile either way to the Ponty End. Depends where you sit , granted if you sit in the East Stand at the away end it is slightly shorter to go through Beevor Court but again, its hardly an inconvenience.

 

I have to disagree. People of limited mobility were able to be dropped off in Beevor Court with a short walk to the East Stand and the vehicle able to leave quickly and easily. To do the same now would mean driving up grove Street and a further walk to the stand. No need at all and no thought for some supporters who may now be unable to attend as easily.

 

To the East Stand and back that’s an extra mile round trip, fine when you’re fit and healthy but quite a task for anyone who already finds walking difficult.

 

Please read it again Jamdrop. What I am saying is there is not much difference between walking through Beevor Court or walking along the road according to Google maps. In fact the distance was the same on google maps for both routes and google maps has them going up Grove Street not through the car park. They have to pick one of em so the difference is zilch.

 

I don't really care what Google maps reckons, it's a massive difference in distance for anyone with limited mobility

From the entrance of beevor court on Pontefract road to the entrance to the turnstiles of the east stand is 315 metres. From the same point on Pontefract road to the same turnstile? 630 metres. Exactly double.

Have to get back again obviously after games so for someone with limited mobility they've added 0.66 kilometres onto their walk.

Personally I'd say that's quite significant.

 

Well I did say it depends where you sit and that if you are in the ES at the away end it would be shorter, but if you were at the other end it would obviously be less so.
