Advanced online match ticket purchases can be made via this website. Disabled match goers will be charged the regular (online purchase) admission prices of £18 adults; £15 over 65s & student card holders; £3 juniors (aged 16 or under on 1/1/23). Free carer tickets are available with online purchases only.

Note that cash or card admission on match day at the gate is £20 adults, £17 over 65s and student card holders; £5 juniors. With no carer reduction.

Accessible Parking

Onsite parking is very restricted due to the proximity on all sides of the ground by housing, but disabled parking may be reserved up to 72 hours before kick-off. Regardless as to whether a parking space has been arranged, early arrival at the ground is recommended, as access cannot be guaranteed close to kick-off time. Please also display your Blue Badge.

Once a disabled space has been reserved, you will be added to a parking guest list. Upon arrival, simply give your name to the steward at the head of Heywood Road (at the junction with Marsland Road) and you will directed to the scoreboard end car park. This is a wheelchair friendly short distance from the main turnstile.

Note that whilst we guarantee to make available an appropriate number of designated disabled parking bays, due to our limited capacity we cannot guarantee onsite parking for ANY match attendee. However, you will be informed at the point of booking whether or not parking space is still available.

Due to our very limited parking capacity disabled parking MUST BE PRE-BOOKED, at least 72 hours before kick-off, by emailing [email protected]

Accessible Seating

Disabled spectators have three options for viewing the game, all of which are included within the general turnstile admission fee and none have obstructed views.

1. The concrete concourse in front of the main stand (or any other convenient location on the concourse), for wheelchair users. However, we strongly advise wheelchair users not to view the match from the Birtles covered terrace on the far side of the pitch, as the surface there is uneven in places and not easily accessible.
2. The front rows of the main stand (under cover), which is suitable for ambulant supporters.
3. RECOMMENDED: The balcony above the players’ entrance, which is suitable for wheelchair users and carers, and can be accessed via a lift (partially under cover).

Refreshments

Refreshments can be obtained in the downstairs bar, which has easy wheelchair access.

Corporate Facilities

The Corporate area on the first floor of the main block can be accessed via a wheelchair friendly lift. Corporate packages may be purchased in advance – contact the club for further information.

Toilets

There are disabled toilets in both the downstairs bar and upstairs corporate area.

Assistance Dogs

Assistance dogs are welcome.

Match Day Assistance

Please approach any Swinton Lions Steward should you require any assistance or advice whatsoever on match days; or contact the club in advance for any enquiries.
