February's Newsletter for the South West Disabled Fans' Experience Forum is now available

Level Playing Field's first West Midlands Forum has been confirmed for Wednesday 3rd April 2019.

"We've had letters from Manchester United and Liverpool supporters that said that they have travelled all over Europe and that our assistance when it came to disabled parking and match day experience were one of the best they have seen. That's a huge sentiment when you’re a small club in Somerset" - David Munn (DSA member and Audio Descriptive Commentator)

We know that many of you support your team whatever the weather so it is important to be prepared and stay warm.

This year the EFL has again joined forces with Level Playing Field to help get more clubs than ever involved in Weeks of Action (2nd – 17th March 2019).

"These forums are a great opportunity for people to come together to discuss best practices and bring about change; I'm looking forward to engaging in that conversation. “ - Aaron Phipps

The fans' comments give disabled fans the opportunity to see other fans' experience.

“We needed to have a DSA because of the new stadium. We need to be that voice that says, 'Have you thought about this?' That’s not having a go at able-bodied people, it’s just that they wouldn’t have thought of them small things that could make a huge difference to a person with a disability enjoying a live game”. – Jess (Chair of AFC Wimbledon DSA)
