The British Government has told the Premier League to "sort their act out" over the lack of facilities for disabled fans at many of England's top-flight grounds.

A BBC report last month revealed that just three Premier League venues -- Swansea's Liberty Stadium, St Mary's in Southampton, and the Cardiff City Stadium -- provide the required number of wheelchair spaces.

Now the minister for disabled people, Mike Penning, has threatened non-compliant clubs with legal action, saying he had written to all of England's leading 92 teams to remind them of their responsibilities.

"Enough is enough," the Conservative lawmaker told the BBC television on Saturday.

"I'm a football fan and my club, Spurs (Tottenham Hotspur), is right at the bottom of this league table (on disability provision).

"There's so much money in the Football League, why can't (disabled) fans go and see their games the same way you and I can?

"What I've said is 'sort your act out'. Sadly if you don't, the legislation is there for me to take prosecutions if I need to," added Penning.

Under English law, it is illegal for service providers,including football clubs, to treat disabled people less favourably than other customers.

"It's not just about wheelchair access," Penning said. "You can get wheelchair access in but if you just plant them around the edge of the game, they don't feel part of the game, they don't feel part of the atmosphere.

"I want to build on the legacy from the Paralympics and football clubs need to use a piece of their loose change."

The Premier League issued a statement later Saturday saying: "All Premier League clubs have arrangements in place to provide access and facilities for disabled fans.

"The highest standards of access are generally at clubs with new grounds but all clubs, even those working within the constraints of older stadia, work hard to make sure that disabled fans can attend matches and enjoy their football."
