Hazel Dudley with Kenny Dalglish and her guide dog, Faith

A lifelong Liverpool fan who is registered blind has said the lack of a dedicated accessible space for disabled supporters has left her feeling “vulnerable” ahead of Monday’s parade.

It is the club’s 20th league triumph and a first opportunity to celebrate with fans after being denied when they secured a 19th victory during a covid-hit season in 2020.

Among those travelling to the city for Monday’s celebrations is season ticket holder Hazel Dudley.



The 76-year-old, who has full sight loss, expressed her disappointment that disabled fans would not be able to count on a specific area to take in the revelry.

Mrs Dudley, from Wimbledon, said: “I was surprised they hadn’t made a place for disabled people to be.

She added: “You can’t change your team, can you?”

Monday’s parade route is 15km long with fans being advised by Liverpool Council to use the entire length of the route from Allerton Maze to the city centre.

There are no dedicated viewing areas.

In its guide to fans, the local authority said: “We are not able to provide specific accessible viewing areas, but have made it a long route to allow as many people as possible to watch it.

We recommend those uncomfortable in large crowds choose a less congested location along the route which is away from major landmarks, or choose a wider street where there is more space to move around.

“We also urge fans lining the route to be courteous to families, older people and those with accessible needs.” The ECHO also approached Liverpool FC for comment.
