Hull City Supporters Trust Announces Community Partnership with Hull City Disabled Supporters Association
Hull City Supporters Trust (HCST) is thrilled to announce a new community partnership with the Hull City Disabled Supporters Association (DSA), reinforcing our commitment to fostering inclusivity and enhancing the matchday experience for all Tigers fans. This collaboration marks a significant step in uniting our efforts to ensure every supporter, regardless of ability, feels valued and connected to our beloved club.
The Hull City DSA, officially launched in February 2024 has been working tirelessly to improve accessibility and provide a voice for disabled fans. Led by Chair David Batte, the DSA has made remarkable strides in advocating for better facilities and matchday experiences. As David stated at the DSA’s launch event, “This tells everybody who is a Hull City fan that the club and the DSA are working together for the benefit of fans with disability. Let’s talk about how we can improve the facilities, how we can improve the experience.” His leadership has sparked meaningful conversations and tangible improvements, such as adjustable payment terminals and initiatives inspired by other clubs, like sensory rooms and refreshment delivery services for wheelchair users.
This partnership aligns with HCST’s long-standing tradition of community engagement and advocacy, from supporting Hull City Ladies to preserving the club’s heritage through projects like the Spion Kop 1906 Club. By joining forces with the DSA, we aim to amplify their efforts, promote greater accessibility at the MKM Stadium, and ensure that all fans feel part of the Tigers family. Together, we will work to address challenges such as improving away match experiences and educating supporters to create a more inclusive environment.
We invite all Hull City fans to support this partnership and get involved. For more information about the Hull City Disabled Supporters Association, visit hullcitydsa.com. Let’s continue to build a stronger, more inclusive Tigers community—because we are truly “One family, one dream.”
Up the Tigers!
