Statement from AccessiBlues

”If our supporters were getting in the way to protect us vulnerable fans, this would be a very different post. Unfortunately this wasn't the case yesterday........

The block that OUR supporters stormed through yesterday was full of #disabled supporters, both #ambulant and #wheelchair users. Some of us even had our #kids/#grandkids with us.

Not one of those who ran through cared who "got in the way". I witnessed fans jumping over the wall, landing on wheelchair users. Pushing ambulant fans and kids out of the way as their only fixation was to get to the @LUFC fans and puff their chests out.

Not one apology from a single fan or a question of "are you ok?" was given to any one of us. Nobody even noticed, as far as it seemed, that we are CLEARLY disabled. Especially those of us who are in wheelchairs or using mobility aids.

I'm not disgusted by those fans involved, I'm more disappointed if I'm honest. Lack of education and respect for fellow fans is missing at our amazing club by some.

Maybe, just maybe this post will help people realise what they did yesterday and help them consider things in a different way. Whilst we luckily only had minor injuries yesterday, some will have emotional scars for a very long time.
