Colwyn Bay FC launches quiet zone at Blue Turtle Arena for supporters

Colwyn Bay Football Club has launched a new quiet zone at the Blue Turtle Arena to make matchdays more inclusive. The initiative, reported by the North Wales Pioneer, creates a dedicated space for supporters with additional needs and disabilities during Cymru Premier fixtures.

The quiet zone is located in block G of the club's new stand, sitting alongside the existing wheelchair-accessible area. A member of staff from the CBFC Foundation, the club's official community charity, will be present there to assist fans throughout every game. This move is part of a wider partnership with the disability organisation @standnwcic, which aims to roll out further accessibility projects in the coming weeks.

What does the quiet zone provide?

The zone is designed to offer a calmer environment, reducing sensory overload for those who need it. It represents a direct effort by the club to improve wellbeing and confidence for people of all ages and abilities in Colwyn Bay and across North Wales. The CBFC Foundation's core mission is to enhance football accessibility, and this project is a tangible step towards that goal.

How does this fit with the club's current season?

The launch of the quiet zone occurs while the first team is positioned ninth in the Premier League table. Their recent form has been inconsistent, with a pattern of wins and losses. You can track their progress in the standings as the season develops.

What are the next steps for accessibility?

The partnership with @standnwcic is expected to announce more projects soon, building on the quiet zone's introduction. The club has stated its commitment to continuous improvement in making the Blue Turtle Arena welcoming for every supporter. Fans can find details on all upcoming home games, including the next fixture, on the club's fixtures page.

When is the next chance to experience the new zone?

Supporters will be able to use the quiet zone at the next home match, which is against Cambrian & Clydach on October 30. That fixture sees Colwyn Bay host their rivals at the Blue Turtle Arena.
