West Ham United Disabled Supporters Association members were given the opportunity to be pitch side thanks to The Level Playing Field’s ‘Unite for Access’ campaign.
The campaign aims to raise awareness and equality for a more inclusive match-day experience for disabled fans.
Association Co-Chair Cathy Bayford told the West Ham United website: “Since our move to the London Stadium we have seen various initiatives put into place to further improve the match-day experience for all those with accessibility issues when attending a match.
“We are proud of the work we do together and the positive relationship we have forged with the club and how we can continue to come together to solve any new issues that arise.”
