Show Notes
A visually impaired football fan has recently had his match-day experience improved thanks to support received from his local RNIB ECLO (Eye Care Liaison Officer)
Bruce Wilson, who has macular degeneration, feared he may have to give up going to football matches due to his diminishing eye sight. That was until RNIB ECLO Roslyn Munro stepped in and spoke with Ross County on Bruce's behalf.
The club, who were only too happy to help, have now moved Bruce to a more accessible seat within their Global Energy stadium and is even able to take someone along to the match with him thanks to a free carers ticket the club have also provided him with.
Barry Snell spoke to a Bruce and Roslyn to find out more.
