A Premier League football club has apologised after it had reportedly doubled the cost of parking for disabled supporters at its ground.
Aston Villa said on its website disabled supporters who had booked matchday parking at Villa Park for 2024/25 would be charged last season’s parking rates.
It added fans would be contacted by the club’s ticket office by telephone before the next home game against Everton and reimbursements issued for those who have been overcharged.
“The club wishes to apologise to those affected,” it said.
The club contacted supporters who held a disabled parking space outside the North Stand last season to inform them of the price hike, on the week before Villa's first home game against Arsenal on 24 August, according Birmingham Live.
