My experiences in Australia aren't anywhere near that bad, but I used to be part of a Disabled women's group that met once a month in [suburb].
[Suburb] also hosts big weekly football games against other suburban and state teams every Saturday/Sunday during the season.
The Disabled women in the group (including me) dreaded football game days because while normal crowds (Farmer's market, Saturday morning grocery shopping) could be more or less navigated around,
the football crowds were aggro, entitled men who liked to walk down the footpath four or five abreast,
and who would get verbally abusive/threatening if asked to make room for a wheelchair user.
