Meetings
Representatives from the Disabled Supporters Board meet with various partners across the year and football season. Below we explain who we meet with and what we expect to achieve by keeping these lines of communication open.
​
The Disabled Supporters Board
The 13 members of the DSB will this Season, meet every other month​. We hope these regular meetings will give us the opportunity to highlight any issues we have faced or found reported and be able to resolve in a timely manner for our supporter cohort. Minutes will be posted accordingly. Want to know who is representing you,? Read more here WHUDSA | Board Room | Who are we

The Club
The full DSB meets with the Accessibility Team and relevant Club Staff members 3 or 4 times a year. These have previously included the Director of Ticketing, the Club's Head of Operations and representatives of the Stadium owners, LS185 who have overall responsibility of the Health, Safety & Compliance. The members of the DSB will also meet at various times throughout the season to discuss specific issues or campaigns.
The DSB CoChairs and the Club Disabled Access Officer, meet or chat after as many home games as possible. This gives us the chance to give feedback or to raise any issues that have arisen whereon a resolution made in a more timely manner. Examples through Season 24/25 include the staffing of accessibility lanes and the issues with the "Gold Top" disabled parking area at Bridge 3.
