- Club branded medal
- Autism Awareness card, which can be shown to matchday staff and stewards to ask for assistance when entering the ground
- A map of the Boundary Park stadium
- Noise-cancelling headphones

Martin Vose, Oldham Athletic Community Trust Community Manager commented: “Alongside Oldham Athletic Football Club, we are delighted to be able to offer out the free sensory packs to Oldham Athletic fans.
“Inclusive is one of our three Community Trust values and this initiative is another example of how we are working hard to meet the needs of those within our local community of Oldham.
“With these packs it it is our aim to make the Oldham Athletic matchday a much more inclusive and enjoyable experience.”
All sensory packs will need to be pre-ordered prior to matchday. This can be done so by emailing Martin.Vose@oldhamathletic.co.uk.
