AWADS Sponsored by

Disability Review Magazine

AWADS is an online resource for Disabled supporters wishing to attend a UK football stadium. AWADS has a database of over 140 teams from the Premiership through to Non-league and Scottish Divisions. Each football club listed has the ability to update the information through a secure online system or through emails. Arsenal Supporter Tony Pringle our data manager keeps the rest up to date with any information provided or data he can find for himself.  Founder and Preston North end supporter Barbara McCombs vision was to have AWADS as a place disabled football supporters could find ground information but also be one voice the voice of all disabled supporters and their needs.

AWADS have in the past supported causes such as the need for segregation amongst disabled supporters as pioneered by the Sunderland disabled association. AWADS main task now is to supply ground information and Accrington Stanley supporter Tony Greenwood has custom made the database and website to include user comments. Any fan can comment on the disabled facilities at any ground they visit and this will appear for others to see. There's no better information than hands on experience of the facilities. We would like to include photographs of all the disabled areas as that would complete the information. But the cost of such a project has held us back so far.

AWADS Website will also include news from around the clubs and various links to resources for clubs and visitors. Over the years we have built up a wealth of information and it is all there for you to access.

Please do pay us a visit and please do add your experiences from grounds so others will benefit.
