In responding to the following breaking news by Katie Gornall at BBC Sport, Joyce Cook OBE, LPF Chair said:“Everyone at Level Playing Field is totally delighted by tonight’s news. It has been a very long time coming (more than 14 years) but we wholeheartedly welcome this announcement from the Premier League and its clubs.”

 “The promises made today will ensure that many more disabled fans can finally enjoy a fair and equal experience alongside fellow fans, friends and family. For disabled football fans this is huge news but as always, the proof will be in the pudding. Level Playing Field looks forward to working with the PL and its clubs to deliver on their promises.”

“We didn’t expect this announcement today but that is often the best news and Level Playing Field is looking forward to working with the clubs to deliver Accessible Stadia standards across the Premier League. To this end, we will be requesting a meeting with the Premier League over the coming few days.”

“Today is a very good day for disabled football fans and for the Premier League. It is a day to remember with some pride and with many thanks to everyone involved in making this happen.”
