I've only been twice, but at Wrexham, they have a ramp to a lowered 1 or 2 space rostrum, that is also further forward than the main rostrum. I have tried practicing by sitting on the stage at my old club, and it isn't easy, especially in a big hall.

The main issue though, is always going to be money. I'm not going to mention the club as that wouldn't be fair. But a club has recently changed it's rostrum and resurfaced the track, but no ramp upto the rostrum, and I don't want to jump to conclusions, but I think that if clubs don't realise the demand is there, they don't know to fulfill it, and I do know, most clubs will try to help "lifting you upto the stage / rostrum, but I know from Sam's point of view, he'd be too scared for himself and the people helping him to be happy doing that.

Maybe you could write something for Circuit Chatter to make everyone aware of the problems, and making th clubs aware of the issue too.
