Watford FC Accessibility Tour
You can take a tour of our accessible seating provision, including entrances and toilet facilities, below. The tour includes a highlight reel on which you can select the area you are interested in. It also gives you 360° views from the seating areas and you can click on target icons for more information about each area.
Sensory Room
The Sensory Room has been designed for autistic children who may otherwise struggle to cope in the noisy environment of a football stadium. The main aim is to ensure autistic children feel comfortable attending football matches with their families in the Sensory Room environment, with a view to transitioning into seating in the main stadium once they feel confident to do so.
Places are subject to availability and a letter from a doctor/consultant or other healthcare professional may be required when booking. Parents will also have the option to visit the Sensory Room before matchday if they wish to check its suitability.
Please email Simona Rakovic-Irish, the club’s EDI and Disability Access Officer, at simona.rakovic-irish@watfordfc.com to find out more.

Hidden Disability & Medical Exemption Cards

We offer a non-mandatory Hidden Disability Cards scheme, which allows supporters with a hidden disability, or who require a medical exemption to bring essential items into the stadium, to order a card containing messages relating to their needs, which can be given to any member of staff and enable supporters to access our disabled facilities.
The scheme is something that several clubs have introduced, and details will be shared with other clubs ahead of all away fixtures, so that the cards can also be used while following the Hornets up and down the country.
Supporters wishing to apply for a card should email their name, Fan ID and details of which card or cards they would like, with details of essential items where applicable, to disabled.supporters@watfordfc.com. We may ask for supporters to send proof of eligibility, in some cases.
The cards available include:
- Please be patient, I have had a stroke
- Please be aware, I have epilepsy
- Please face me and speak clearly, I lip read
- I am visually impaired, please be patient
- Please do not touch me, I have a hidden disability
- Medical Exemption Card
- I have autism, please be direct
- I am hard of hearing, please speak slowly
- Please scan my ticket for me
- Please help me find my seat
- I have difficulty speaking, please be patient
- I have a hidden disability
WFC Enables
WFC Enables is the supporter group for people with disabilities at Watford Football Club.
Enables was established in March 2007 by a group of enthusiastic Watford supporters and Watford FC staff to provide a voice for disabled supporters.
The group's remit was extended during the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020 to include all older supporters of the Golden Boys so even if you don't consider yourself to be disabled the group would love to hear from you.
The group is in regular dialogue with the club relating to stadium development and the improvements to facilities for their members, and also creates a social forum for supporters to enjoy meeting and talking about what drives them on - Watford FC!
For more information visit the WFC Enables website HERE.
