Over 30,000 disabled football fans attend football on a regular basis with Wembley Stadium offering some of the best facilities in the world for both disabled and non-disabled supporters.

NADS’ Jamie Polk is hoping that clubs around the country can follow Wembley’s lead and offer the same kind of match day experience for disabled fans: “It can be as simple as a decent view, sitting under cover and with your own fans plus accessible toilets and bars.

"Strides have been made in recent years but in many cases there is still a clear deficit between the facilities for disabled and non-disabled fans.”

NADS, who are also the official disabled branch of englandfans, were consulted on the design of Wembley Stadium and Jamie is delighted with the results: “We were involved in the planning and building stages and were able to highlight the required facilities throughout.

“The result is a modern stadium with world class disabled facilities.”

Jamie is keen to highlight that football plays a massive part in the everyday lives of disabled supporters: “Time and again we receive testimonials on how following football has had a positive effect on the life of disabled fans offering a sense of belonging, pride, passion and belief.”
