City support Level Playing Field's 'Unite For Access'

Level Playing Field is the leading disability fan advocacy charity in England and Wales and Saturday's match vs. Stoke City is dedicated to its 'Unite For Access' campaign.

'Unite For Access' is a celebration of everything disability access and inclusion.

An estimated 24% of the UK population is disabled, making disabled people the largest minority group in the UK. There is therefore a very good chance someone in the seats near to you at Cardiff City Stadium is a disabled fan, or you might be reading this and have a disability yourself.

Disabled fans can experience different barriers to their matchdays, but Level Playing Field’s most recent fan survey listed ‘attitudes of others’ as the second most common barrier to attending live sport, ranking only behind ‘physical access’ and impacting more than a quarter of disabled fans. This means that everyone can play a significant part in making live sport more inclusive.

Disability can be a complex subject matter, and that is why we invite both disabled and nondisabled fans to engage with us through this important campaign and to ensure access and inclusion is at the heart of everything we do.

Everyone should have the opportunity to cheer on their team on matchday, like you have come to do today, so we ask you to…

Unite for Your Team. Unite for your fans.
