NUDSA Celebrates 20th Anniversary in Style at St. James’ Park

Newcastle United Disabled Supporters Association (NUDSA) celebrated 20 years since its formation with a glamourous celebration for its members and supporters at St. James’ Park.

 

NUDSA is a charity that was started by a small group of NUFC fans in 1998 to try to represent disabled supporters and help to improve disability provisions at the club. Throughout its existence NUDSA has been run by a voluntary Committee that has worked closely with officials at NUFC, working together to ensure that NUFC is now one of the leading lights in football when it comes to provisions for disabled fans. St. James’ Park currently has over 230 wheelchair spaces, provides many spaces for ambulant disabled fans, has a sensory room and 2 changing places – It’s come a long way from the small lean-to in front of the Leazes End that used to house disabled supporters not long before the time NUDSA was formed.
