Recently my dad and I had a poor experience in hospitality at
@HampdenPark
. Prior to purchase, my mum was assured that it was fully accessible and that my dad would have an Executive Seat and there would be a space for my wheelchair in that area, but that wasn’t the case.

By all accounts we've signed Aston Villa left-back (yes, LEFT-BACK) Ben Chrisene on loan. He's clearly well liked by Villa having signed a new contract back in January and trained with the first-team in pre-season and has rejected a move to Liverpool.
A real coup for Killie!

I didn’t want to write this, however, I was left with no choice after my mum emailed twice with no response as well as calling on multiple occasions.
Hospitality is not cheap and it is not acceptable to sell packages which are not accessible whilst claiming that they are.

The images below show where we were told to go instead. There are three main issues:
1. There was nowhere for my dad to sit - he had to ask for a chair.
2. I don’t believe this is a wheelchair area.
3. We were segregated from the other fans who purchased the same package.

"This is Kilmarnock. This belongs to you." - Steve Clarke.
It has been great to see Killie fans return to games against Glasgow's big two. I used to avoid Rugby Park when we played them when they were in the Moffat Stand, but how times have changed. Supporter safety is key. 👏
Confirmation released from Killie today shows no loss of income from taking a stand away from Glasgow clubs when they visit.
This is because more home fan families now come to those games and the fans, players and local residents also report the benefits of fewer away fans.
