If your club premises, which in the case of 99% of clubs are not owned by the clubs, do not have to certain standards for accessibility by law, and they all should have done so by now, then any club cannot be held to account for the venue they play in not being accessible to disabled players as it must be assumed that it complies with the Acts in that all reasonable effort has been made.
Compromise would then be sought and no doubt achieved, I would hope.
If such doomsday scenarios as described occur with a member of the disabled community making demands there are remedies for that in the laws without having to go near any guidelines.
