Her stock has risen high and hopefully she will continue next season. She did sign a full three-year contract until 2024 a few months ago. Not bad considering she was initially the remaining maternity cover for Tanya Oxtoby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Liverpool lost that weekend as well, 1-0 at home to London City Lionesses! If Birmingham do indeed get relegated, it will be interesting to see what happens behind the scenes over the summer. They announced that they'll still be playing all their home games at St Andrews. which has had a mixed reaction to their supporters (that I know of)!

RedM Posted April 1, 2022 Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 There seems a huge interest in this match. I’m guessing there will be a lot more families, parents and kids than there normally is? I’ve only ever been to one women’s match, that was a few years ago when an international match was played at AG. The rain was horrendous and I just remember all the hooter things blown by the kids.

Would be funny if the Women's team managed a higher attendance than one of Mighty gAss's games. I don't think they have dropped below 6k, but only just, women are about to have 5k at the next game, fair play to them. Fair play. I see they've now opened up the corner of the south stand and ticket site says 'last few' tickets available. I imagine there will be a fair few scousers in attendance. I was thinking of going, but an still testing positive for Covid. I'm sure I have a code for 50% off and I know the advance prices are lower than POTD, so applying those discounts gets a £3.50 adult ticket, which would be £10 for POTD, so if you're thinking of going best get a ticket now :). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, women's football in general seems to be more family friendly. Sometimes I think it can be "too nice" but there's nothing hostile/toxic, at least from what I can tell. I was there at that match you were referring to. England v Bosnia & Herzogivna in a Euro 2017 qualifier match. Ashton Gate was still being redeveloped. England won 2-0! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted April 1, 2022 Admin Report Share Posted April 1, 2022 Can remember watching Bristol City draw with Barcelona in the Champions League at Ashton Gate, light years away from that level now sadly Sure the crowd was less than 3k?

I can't make a decision until Sunday, this is when PotD prices stop people going. I think Liverpool did a deal on travel, s there will definitely be some of theirs there.

And I expect they'll be taking lots of pictures of our tractors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxjak Posted April 2, 2022 Report Share Posted April 2, 2022 Just saw the highlights from the El Classico on Football Focus in front of an Incredible 90k fans.........out of the 7 goals, a decent keeper would have saved 5 of them. I am all for women's football, and long may it prosper. But i could never pay to watch it, as it will never, and can never match the men's game. Technically it is very good, but the lack of physicallity, sheer oomph and decent goalkeepers just leaves me bored. In the top men's games, a goal has to be worked for, whereas a half decent long distance lob in the women's game, and your 1 up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh but true it's the same with all other sports though, but if you accept the short comings and accept that it can never be as fast or strong I still enjoy watching women compete against each other in football athletics rugby etc, yes it's not as athletic or fast how could it be but that does not mean it can't be enjoyed for the sheer spectacle of competition between equals. Looking forward to our girls game against Liverpool tomorrow and hope they do us proud, I think it's on the FA player.

I got two adult tickets yesterday for £7 total. The POTD adult price is £10. Strangely online tickets still seem available - saving £6.50 on POTD pricing.

Davefevs Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 Only watched from about 25 mins in. Liverpool much better in possession and better patterns. That long throw is a huge weapon. Their second goal an obvious offside and potentially a shove too. Got it all to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 That girls throw is massive, puts Kalas & Vyner to shame. L'pool the better team & hat 3rd goal is it I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
