This important initiative will help ensure that fans living with a stoma feel welcomed and supported when attending matches and events at the stadium.

The 2025 Level Playing Field Annual Fan Survey has been launched, to collect insight on disabled sports fans’ matchday experiences.

Last year’s survey received a record number of responses, including 100’s from the stoma community, with results including the most common barriers to attending and services which would improve disabled supporters’ experiences.
