Is there a radio-based assistive hearing system?

The seating area within the stadium is fully covered by a radio-based assistive hearing system. The system is designed for supporters who have Telecoil hearing aids, with the ‘T’ setting. The system allows supporters of varying hearing impairments to listen to both safety and matchday entertainment announcements. Supporters wishing to use this service must visit ticket office window 1 on a matchday to sign out the neck loop and receiver.

Is there audio descriptive commentary available?

Yes and it is available to supporters via the use of a receiver and headset. Equipment can be signed out from ticket office window 1. Equipment must be returned in the same condition as it was when signed out.

“Steve Baker [audio description commentator] provided an excellent commentary, taking on the whole of the game, without any assistance or support, and doing so in a clear, comprehensive and unbroken fashion.”
