Thanks for all your feedback so far please keep them coming
The highest number of disability so far is deafness. There has been problems between deaf people trying to communicate verbally in the past and because of the deaf numbers there is a higher possibility of deaf v blind issues than I thought.
The other main concern is wheelchair access. The suggestion is that in CS tournaments if a home venue cannot provide disabled facilities then they sportingly give up home advantage as the away team with the disabled player would possibly have sufficient resources to accommodate the disability.
Another challenge is the involvement of juniors playing disabled players. The problem may arise if the alternative venue may have restrictions such as alcohol etc which may have restricted access.
In summary I think although it is the home teams responsibility to provide a suitable venue, the away team should assist if possible
