This situation is being addressed on a FB palace site "the eagles have landed" & the girls from CPFCFAB are dealing with it, may be worth contacting them as it seems a growing problem. Hope this helps.

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

Absolutely give this a try eritheagle.

The club have a duty of care to accomodate suporters with disabilities and that includes those that aren't always physically apparent. If you can't use a smart phone because of the light intensity of the screen, then an e-ticket is a barrier that the club/Premier League are imposing and that would likely be taken as a form of discrimination. Be prepared to prove your claim though, they'll like want to see a diagnosis from a doc.

Whether or not you make the decision to attend because of the b0ll0cks that goes on now with those new advertising screens and pyrotechnics is up to you, but it should be your decision and not one that is made for you by the club/league.

Besides, we all know that the club/league only want us all on digital for data mining and monitoring what we purchase and to make more money with you sharing your ticket. Added bonus of being able to invalidate your ticket at the touch of a button if they want to as well.

The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots

If you go onto the 'I can't attend anymore' thread you'll find a lot of help & answers.

Thank you everyone for all your support, help and ideas/suggestions.
It is very much appreciated by myself.

I have left a message on an answer phone and waiting for Palace to get back to me before my fiance will help me decide what to do next and what action to take going forward.

Thanks again.

At least they are inclusive towards staff who don't know the difference between a criterion and some criteria.

Did you interprete this as being positive? Do you think they will relent?

Sorry, did they say people will get their plastic cards?

As I understand it, the old Nokia type 'non smart' phones work on low (2 or 3g). Smart phones need higher (4 or 5g). They are doing away with lower g masts so these older phones won't work. How long until that day I don't know. This was explained to me by a techie and most of the conversation went way above my head.

Are there any phone experts here?

Don’t take anything Dr Death says seriously, he talks absolute nonsense but apparently is never wring. Keep up the fight and don’t ,et them get you down

Yep, to be fair to people most aren't aware of the scale of different autistic conditions. Most people will think of it as not that much of a big deal or manageable....or that it's a bit of a scam.

I understand, what people don't know they don't know and of course there's always a truth in stereotypes to some degree.

However, I fully believe you, I know what you are saying is true as I've seen and been around those children.

Autism covers a massive range of conditions and the severity of them.

It's true that many people will have autism to a level, that while it produces difficulties, they can still lead ordinary and productive lives. Many can operate in mainstream. High functioning autists are often extremely valuable people...Newton was probably one.

However on the opposite end, autism can mean that an ordinary life isn't possible. I've seen children with low cognitive ability who can't communicate socially or sometimes even speak or understand what's going on around them. The spectrum of autism is huge, from a genius to someone who can't operate within normal society without a lot of help.

It's tragic for the families at the severe end and a lifelong commitment just to keep them safe and provided for. It's no joke and those families are often under great strain.
