Official Away Travel
Cost £19 per person. Coaches depart Stadium MK at 11 am on 1 April (Easter Monday) including a wheelchair accessible mini bus. Book travel tickets through MKDSA online or in Lewington’s. To discuss needs for accessible travel please email travelmkdsa@gmail.com asap.
Seating Arrangements
Away fans enter at pitch level. The front row of seats in the away end are step free, and wheelchair users can sit in anywhere in front of these seats. The good thing is there is lots of space in front for people to pass/ congregate, the bad thing is wheelchair users (unlike all the other away fans) are not under cover when it rains! The Club, if you ask, will provide rain capes and blankets. It is notoriously cold and windy at Meadow Lane. The bottom photos on page 6 of the Disabled Fans Guide above show the away accessible seating area.
Accessible Toilets
Unless it has changed there are two in a portocabin (radar key locked) on the right as you enter the away end.
Audio Described Match Commentary
Only local radio commentary available. Headsets for those requiring these should be booked 48 hours prior to the match by contacting Notts County (details below).
Sensory Room
There are 3 and it seems that they can be booked by away fans (subject to availability). Contact Nott’s Country DLO to enquire.
