Game watched: Doncaster Rovers Belles 2-3 Huddersfield Town Women

Very difficult to get into if you're in a wheelchair. There was only one stand open, but that was the stand with no wheelchair access.

 

We ended up getting in through the directors' entrance, then getting to the stands via the players' tunnel! That was exciting! It's very narrow - less than the width of a single bed.

 

Once we were in, the stewards couldn't have been friendlier and more welcoming. The steward we were chatting to was very knowledgeable about the stadium as well, giving us a potted history and telling us about the 2007 floods - now marked by a metal bar on the wall outside the ground.

 

I was allowed to use the female officials' loo at half-time, which was really nice. 

 

Unfortunately, Belles lost in the final of the Sheffield and Hallamshire County Cup, but it was an interesting day.
