Hey Michael , glad to have you here. so, you're from the UK, you like watching sports. What's your favorite football team then, if any? Hi Jay, thank you for your welcome. I love F! Grand Prix, cricket, tennis, athletics (used to run middle distance track and cross country and yes...football. I'm a season ticked holder at SJP home of Newcastle United (don't mention relegation haha). I have travelled to Belgium, France, Spain and Italy watching 'The Toon' play football in European Champions and UEFA Cup matches.
How about you?

Hello all you lovely people, may I introduce myself? My name is Michael and I am a quad with a C6 SCI; complete. I have been ‘peeking’ around this site for a couple of months now, reading the various personals, topics and stories etc. Although I am normally a very private person regarding my disability, I am totally enlightened by the non-judgemental attitude and open friendship shown by the devs and other users of this site.
I didn’t even know what a dev was until recently, until I chatted with a dev (by pure luck), and who introduced me to the existence of this site. I will forever be indebted to her.
Well, it may have taken me a while but here I am! I would very much like, in time, to be able to chat to you devs and hopefully share knowledge and experiences with not only devs but also other PWD’s.
I’d love to hear from you……
Michael xx
Hello Michael! A warm hearted welcome on the board! Cheers! - Daniel Hi Daniel, thank you for your lovely welcome

How about you?
I'm a die-hard Schalke supporter, season ticket, attending away games, actively attending annual meetings and sometimes other meet-ups, so there's not that much time for other sports, to be honest. I've thought about visiting the UK in order to watch a premier league game quite often. I've been to the Emirates once, when Schalke manged to beat Arsenal on a 0-2 away victory, that was quite a bit of fun. The way the disabled seats where set up, as in right inside the block, was fascinating. Really would like something like this for the Bundesliga, too. I actually really wanted to visit the Upton Park, but yeah.

I actually really wanted to visit the Upton Park, but yeah. You are a busy man Jay. Hopefully Newcastle United can gain qualification back into European football again soon, and maybe play Schalke, that would certainly be worth a visit. I have never been to the Emirates but did attend a football match in Arsenal's former ground 'Highbury' which now houses a shopping centre, I think. Newcastle's ground St Jamie's Park has excellent disabled facilities and ideal for PWD's though the ground could do with some more suitable and reliable lifts. I'm situated on level 7 with my own balcony overlooking the pitch. I have a key for my use to a wheelchair accessible toilet which is excellent!

Welcome to PD Michael, hope you enjoy being here. Definitely great that the dev you talked to pointed you in this direction. You do not look like 50 on your picture, first thought I had was "Another one of those young dis guys"....anyhow, have fun here! Hello Dani, thank you for such a lovely welcome and kind comments. Inky is the guilty dev, her advice and openness with me has really opened my eyes to another life. I no longer have to hide my disability and instead I now embrace it. I wish I knew about devs and this site much earlier than I did. Time to catch up and share my experiences with such lovely people. I'm open to any discussions...x
