We also have a sponsorship deal in the pipeline which we will announce at the earliest possible opportunity.
We have also approached Europe's top English language service provider Alan March Sports to operate this for us.
We have the equipment ready to test and hope to be able to name the donor as soon as they give us their blessing.
Thanks go out to DLO Kerry Evans for getting these plans approved by the WST board.

If you are interested in the service as a user or as a potential commentator please do get in touch!!!

Hi

My dad has been registered as partially blind and only came to a number of games last season due to his disability. Previous to this he had been a regular at Cae Ras since the 1950's.

I am very interested to understand more about Audio Descriptive Commentary please.

Many thanks

El Jonez

Just popping out to another DSA meeting, but if you look at Alan March Sport Ltd this will give you some idea.
I heard a beautiful presentation from a Ukranian lady who said that, done properly, it was like having her sight back for 90 minutes.

Hoping my dad can benefit from the superb effort you and the DSA guys are putting in!

We had to give up our regular seats to make way for the disabled platform a few seasons back.

It's great to see the platform being used every match, giving people an opportunity to watch the games in comfort.

Unfortunately EJ,most platform users currently get on there only once every 4 games or so.This is why we are so desperate for further platforms to be installed.

We really appreciate each and every person that gave up their seat. I said to the club I would happily speak to all those affected. The fact people have up their seats without any fuss spoke volumes about our fans.

As we all know these things don't just happen overnight. DSA members have given tremendous dedication and tenacity to achieve this worthy aim - colleagues, 'I salute you'
Well done to all concerned.

Very kind words Mr Badaas. Coming from someone I have the utmost respect for they mean a great deal.
