Doncaster Rovers FC and the Disabled Branch of the Supporters Club are both members of the National Association of Disabled Supporters (NADS).

What is NADS?

NADS is a nationally recognised organisation representing disabled supporters by providing a better football experience for all disabled supporters.

Over the past five years NADS has made significant strides and as well as being recognised as a formal charity, they have completed a benchmark and recognised audit of football grounds, worked closely with the FA Premier League, the Football League, the Football Foundation, the Department of Culture, Media & Sport and other representative bodies.

They have also provided consultancy to over 90 football clubs on the impact of the Disability Discrimination Act and worked with both the new Wembley Stadium team and the Millennium Stadium staff.

They have produced and distributed a new national guide to grounds based on the completed audit programme.
