Overview
Yet again my major gripe with the commonwealth games so far at any venue I've been to has to be the signage to the accessible parking. Once there and in the stadium, our seats were at the top of the stand and had an excellent view of the athletics.
Transport & Parking
Terrible experience at the shields road accessible transport pick up. Getting there was an effort with terrible signage. Eventually seen a sign saying second left, so took it, only to go down it and get sent back as that was the exit. Had to go out onto main road again and in entrance only to find I am parked 10 ft away from where I entered originally, separated by a row of cones which could've been lifted to make life easier. Leaving Hampden was chaos, no one directing you to the shuttle buses for the different accessible parking areas.
Access
In the venue was fantastic, on the way to the venue from the shuttle bus stop, at times was difficult finding a dropped kerb.
Toilets
At the part of the stadium I was located was porta loos which were kept very clean and were spaciously designed inside.
Staff
All the staff were again very friendly and helpful with the exception of the parking attendants at shields road accessible car park.
Anything else you wish to tell us?
Going out I was trying to get to the accessible bus area but with the flow of people could not cross the people moving. This was not helped by an aggressive sounding steward shouting at people to keep moving. He could've stopped them to let me cross over. A helpful thing could be a wheelchair/disabled lane sectioned off similar to what happened at London 2012. It meant you did not have to fight through crowds.
