Oldham Athletic are proud to be supporting Level Playing Field’s Unite For Access campaign ahead of tomorrow’s fixture against Southend United.
The country’s leading charity representing disabled sports fans, an estimated 22% of the UK population are disabled, meaning it’s likely you, or someone you know is disabled.
A recent survey found that nearly 29% of disabled fans considered the 'attitudes of others' to be a barrier when attending live sports.
Tomorrow, we will be using this dedicated matchday to participate in a new national campaign, 'Unite For Access'. A celebration of disabled fans, accessibility, and inclusion at sports venues.
Latics players will warm up in Unite For Access t-shirts, whilst there will be a stall of Level Playing Field merchandise in the Fan’s Bar, which opens at 12.
A number of representatives from a local community group have also been given free tickets to the match.
