The Premier League "and some of its leading clubs are facing a parliamentary grilling" over the projection that a pledge to meet minimum standards for disabled fans will be broken next year, according to Jeremy Wilson of the London TELEGRAPH. EPL Exec Dir Bill Bush "will answer questions" from members of the Culture, Media & Sport Select Committee on Oct. 18 after it was revealed earlier this month that some of football’s richest clubs "no longer expect" to honor the collective promise. Only three out of 20 Premier League clubs -- Leicester City, Man City and Swansea City -- currently "meet minimum numbers for wheelchair space." Other clubs have been working toward meeting the pledge by next August but, "despite annual turnovers" of more than £250M ($324.2M), Liverpool and Chelsea have already indicated that they will "not meet the guidelines." The charity Level Playing Field has commissioned experts to "project the costs of making the necessary changes at Anfield and Stamford Bridge" and its average estimates range from between £1.4M ($1.8M) and £1.7M ($2.2M) for each stadium. There are "also concerns about others," including West Ham, Bournemouth and Crystal Palace, while the Premier League "has also now given additional leeway to promoted teams" and an extra year, until '18, to meet the guidelines. The Premier League "is trying to help the clubs and is likely to underline the progress and improvement that have been made." Campaigners, however, "want to know if the Premier League will take any action with those clubs who do not comply" (TELEGRAPH, 9/24).
