Premier League clubs accused of neglecting the needs of disabled fans: 'It is simply inexcusable'

The majority of Premier League clubs are still failing disabled supporters, according to a new study.

Analysis by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has revealed that only seven Premier League clubs are providing the minimum number of wheelchair spaces, and only the same number have larger, fully-equipped toilets, known as changing places, installed.

Seven clubs are also breaking the Premier League's own rules by not publishing access statements to give disabled fans essential information about their ground, a review by the EHRC has determined.
