Premier League clubs have been accused of failing to act quickly enough to improve facilities for disabled fans and aiming only for minimum legal requirements. Lord Holmes, the EHRC’s disability commissioner said: “There hasn’t been an inclusive culture within the Premier League. Bush said the league has made a preliminary “zip-around, dipstick” study to assess progress and it found that several clubs are short of those guidelines. The mixed picture in the Premier League was cast in a negative light when compared to the measures taken by the National League club Wrexham. This was paid for by contributions from fans and a £600,000 grant from the Premier League’s football stadia improvement fund.
