here we go human rights blah blah blah, while i fully feel for those less fortunate to be able bodied, to force clubs to cater for them could see many disapear. to fit a lift is brilliant in an ideal world, but how much? it would need power, and a saftey certificate, some one to maintain and operate it.
how many clubs have tempory rostrums?, as suggested a pallet and folk lift, no who has a licence for it and is covered to lift somone up on it?? try a risk assesment on that ( yup more H&S crap)

you could build a ramp to the rostrum for all to use but you would need a far less steeper angle of stairs to the rostrum level, or a double flight, then the slope if too steep is a slip hazard.

here a sugestion, two scafold planks each side of the steps, leaving steps in the middle and a 4x4 12 volt winch to pull chair up and down?
