Find a Matchday Companion

No fan alone

A Matchday Companion is a fellow fan — usually of your own club — who goes to the match with you. Not a carer, not a service: another supporter who shares the day, helps with the practical parts, and watches the game beside you.

If you'd like a companion

1. Open Matches and pick the fixture you're going to.
2. Choose "I'd like a companion" and tell us what would make the day easier — step-free routes, finding the entrance, navigating crowds, sensory needs, or anything else.
3. We look for a companion going to the same match and send you a proposal to review. You always choose first.
4. When you both accept, you can swap WhatsApp details — only then, and only with your consent — to agree a meeting point.

If you can be a companion

Going to a match anyway? Open it and choose "I can accompany a fan". We'll let you know when a fan at that match would like company. You review every request before anything is agreed.

Typical things companions help with:

• meeting at an agreed spot before the match
• finding the right entrance and the way to your seats
• navigating crowds on the way in and out
• staying in touch if plans change

Built on trust

• Both fans must accept before anything is shared.
• WhatsApp numbers are revealed only after a mutual accept, and only with explicit consent.
• Declining is always okay — the other fan sees the decision, never a reason.
• Ask first, never impose: companions follow your lead on how (and whether) to help.

Prefer a group?

Some fans would rather start with a few people than one. Bookings includes group bookings where supporters can gather at a public place — a pub, a fan zone, the stadium — around the same match.
