MK Dons’ game against Huddersfield Town on Friday 22 April has been designated as the club’s first ‘Ability Counts’ Big Day which aims to promote their facilities to current and new disabled supporters ...

... as well as highlighting the fantastic achievements of the MK Dons Sport and Education Trust’s Disability Teams and encouraging new disabled players to ‘Come and Try’ taster sessions.

The Huddersfield game kicks off at 3pm and will see a half-time parade from MK Dons disability teams and one from Huddersfield together with a video on the stadium’s big screen showing how football can be enjoyed by all. The disability teams and a number of disabled supporters will also be providing the Guard of Honour for the players pre-match.

Prior to the game, Special Olympics GB will be holding the National Unified Football Tournament which will take place at Woughton-on-the-Green from 10am until 2pm.

Disabled season ticket holders and members have been invited to attend a tour of the stadium and forum with Pete Winkelman, Karl Robinson, a first team player among others on Thursday 14 April starting from 4.30pm.  The forum, which starts at 6.45pm in Red Dot Bar, will also be open to anybody registered disabled.
