[LU] Carlisle away - not counting chickens yet but....

[DAVID NATTAN]

Thanks
   I probably could qualify I am registered disabled and got blue badge etc - had serious road traffic accident 11 years ago - busted spine and had vertebrae taken out and replaced with titanium replacements - but I want to sit with my mates and until I am in a wheelchair (medical prognosis is I will be in one by time I am 55 or so but only  49yrs at present) and I don't want to take a place from someone more deserving fitness-wise.
  To be fair I have not missed out on tickets for anything yet with ST etc so don't want to 'play the system' until I have no choice.
  Plus , up to point I am in denial - work is the only activity I have stopped doing since accident and believe me that was not by choice (though I do know it would be impossible to work full time)

  Dave,

Do you qualify as a disabled person? (sounds like you may - or is it the affliction only temporary?) - in which case you may have another line into the game as just about all clubs no make provision for disabled access (and the accompanying "carer" gets in free!).

Can you take a small folding stool for half time and before the game - I saw some folding tripod like things at a recent car boot sale and one of them would fit the bill admirably - selling for only £1.50 too!

I hope you get the tickets mate

I applied for 6 of us and £105 has just been taken from my bank account - £16.50 plus £1 booking times 6 comes to £105 so here's hoping !!! Not had confirmation email yet so trying not to get carried away - hope they don't take tickets off me when they receive the four other emails and the letter and online application I filled in !!!

God knows how I am going to manage to stand up for 90mins on a terrace - will be a rough day health wise for me !!! It is OK to stand when I got a seat for before game and half time and the odd sit down when in too much pain - often have a little rest and miss bits of game (hence dodgy match reports!) and that is without being pushed around etc - but I am sure with a few pints my morphine patches and a few other tablets I will manage - bring it on

Even better will be first time my lad (22yr old) has experienced a proper standing terrace I think !!

Good luck to those on here still waiting to hear

Dave
