We know that for some of us, the parade route may be too long to walk.
We have a limited number of seats available on coaches courtesy of the generosity 247. These are not adapted vehicles, so are not suitable for motorised chairs.
If you are able to manage a few stairs on and off a coach please let the team. Of course you can bring a supportive friend or carer as long as you can transfer on and off the vehicles with their assistance.
The coach will drop you at the entrance to the Oval and there are no planned stops on the way.
Please expect to be on the coach for approximately 90 minutes ( it maybe less ) and plan any comfort breaks before boarding
These are available on a first come first served basis.
