A Wycombe Wanderers fan has praised the Adams Park club for the way they have helped disabled supporters in recent seasons.

Liam O’Rourke, who has been a supporter of the Chairboys for well over 10 years, is a sufferer of cerebral palsy and uses a walking stick and sometimes a wheelchair. 

However, despite his impairments, he is regularly spotted at HP12 cheering on the club he loves.

Speaking to the Free Press ahead of their home match against Barnsley, which was partnered with the Level Playing Field football project, Mr O’Rourke said: “The disabled supporters event at Adams Park is to raise awareness of the good work the football club is doing whilst also trying to help fans who want to enjoy the games.

“I have cerebral palsy which impacts the lower half of my body and for me, things have got better in recent years as people have got educated as the world has got a bit more perceptive towards things like this.

“The club have helped me massively as everyone behind the scenes has been very accommodating.”

Level Playing Field is a registered charity in England and Wales, and acts as a campaigning and advisory organisation to its membership and other parties across all sports.

They aim to help both visibly and mentally disabled supporters of any team within the county to enjoy their matchday experience.

When visiting different stadiums as a disabled person, he continued: “Personally, Adams Park is great for me but I understand everyone will have their preferences.

"The stadium is great for people like myself and at away games if I’ve been to a certain stadium. then I’ll know what to expect, but I tend to do some research into the ground’s facilities if I’ve not been there before.

"I’ll also speak to other people similar to me to see what they have to say, but most of them, you don’t know until you get there.

"Most of the grounds that I have attended in my life have been very helpful and the staff have been lovely.

"It’s not too bad."
