Hi Everyone

On June 28th the first meeting of the Wakefield Trinity Disabled Supporters will take place at between 12 noon and 1pm in the International Suite. This is before the Harlequins game.

It's an opportunity for disabled supporters to have a say, and be fully involved in the club. I think this is a fantastic opportunity, and I think the club, and Francis Stephenson, should be applauded for this.

If anyone wants any more info then Francis will shortly be posting some info on the homepage, or you can PM me.

Like I said I think this is incredibly positive news, but the group can only work if we contribute to it. We as supporters can also help make the new stadium accessible to all.

Thanks

Jason

Great news! The club really seems to be taking notice of it's supporters and is keen to enhance it's relationship within the community. This group coupled with the young adults i believe? should ensure the club moves forward with the supporters by it's side!

Glad to hear the clubs making the effort.

Good luck and well done Jason

Cheers Jo!

I've been really impressed with the club's reaction to this and they are doing all they can to make things easier and better. I think it also bodes well for the new stadium's design, if the club are listening to fans at this very early stage.

Well lets hope so

Superb, I'm really pleased to see Wakefield taking this step and I'd love to attend if that is okay, I'd really like to show our support.

I may not be a Wakefield fan but I have a vested interest in developing DSG's and also improving facilities and the whole game day experience for all disabled fans.

So far we have 4 Disabled Supporters Groups with another developing in Huddersfield and having their first meeting so this can only be good for the game as a whole as well as Wakefield.

Very well done to Francis and all involved in this.

You would be more than welcome! I'm really pleased that you can attend, as you can help us 'find our feet' so to speak! I will let Francis know that you attending.

On behalf of the Hull KR Disabled Supporters Group I'd like to wish the Wakefield DSG all the very best and hope to work alongside you in the future.
Good Luck for the future and I hope a decent number attend your 1st meeting

Thanks for your support! I may be in touch if that's ok, as I am desperate to get this right, so any help or advice will be greatly appreciated!

Hope it goes well for you mate, good to see the club taking this step

Cheers Adam! Like you say, this is good to see and it can only be good for ALL fans concerned.

Jason you may be privy to some inside information with helping them to new ideas for the new stadium

I certainly hope there will be some opportunity for picking up some 'inside info'!

you will have to keep stump

Hi Jason

You will always have the support of the RLDSA network which includes a lot of great people including myself and Lee from Hull KR who has made a real success from the DSG there.

Wakefield is a Club I always have a lot of time for as they have made real efforts to make the most of the limited facilities, a good example of this is the extra viewing area in front of the Corporate Stand which a lot of people enjoy using. Francis is a very dedicated guy when it comes to his Club and it sounds like you are too so I'll look forward to meeting you, I think we might have met before though.



As for stadium plans and info, we do have to keep these under our hats but it would be great to have input into how the viewing areas are put together as often things get implemented that work in another Sport but not in RL. As a DSG you can really help the Club make sure they get it right at the best possible cost and use of space available.

Thank you for that Gill. I look forward to a proper introduction to you on the 28th!

The group is picking up some pace, and we even got a mention on Radio Leeds yesterday! Small acorns and all that!

Pm sent bud

Its great to see the club is being pro-active with regards to disabled supporters and its even better to see supporters of other teams getting involved in the work we are trying to do and passing on their knowledge in order for us to get things right. Big pat on the back to all involved.

(couldn't find a pat on the back emoticon lol)

How about this.....









It doesn't matter what colour shirt we wear or team we support, we're all members of the Rugby League family and have one aim, accessibility to everyone.

How are things going Jason?
