Atmosphere 

The photographs below consider how disabled fans experience the atmosphere of matchday. They spoke about the feeling of being part of the stadium atmosphere or feeling disconnected, focusing on how central to the matchday experience is feeling included in the atmosphere. However, the images also show that atmosphere can be negatively affected by obstructed views, where they are seated in the stadium, whilst also raising concerns around the lack of understanding from matchday stewards.
This theme highlights that matchday atmosphere is not experienced in the same way by every supporter, but fans love the option of being a part of the matchday atmosphere from within the stands and that can often be the reason they want to be there in person, “because of the atmosphere and because of the 9-10 people we sit with”.
