    Lauren Smith wins Championship Manager of the Season at tonight's LMA Awards...

    I don't think the official number was ever released. If it was a two digit figure, it makes me think how the RHPC always had hundreds of people every home game...

    Always a changeable crowd at the RHPC. A chance to cement a hardcore support at the gate next season.

  2. We need a plaque for the RHPC53. Shows there is a big gap between WSL and lower leagues both in finances and potential audiences. I'd guess the increased sales are as much v who we are playing than our status. There is a big audience due to the Lionesses success which has filtered down to WSL, but not yet beyond.

    Just a, thought, as the games will be played at the Gate next season we'd hope for increased revenue from increased attendances and larger concession sales. I assume that ST sales are already up. Will any of this increased revenue however be offset by increased costs of stewarding etc. 

    Season ticket sales are up, over 1000 sold to date. That's a fairly sizeable increase on the RHPC. We can expect increased crowds and revenue albeit offset by some additional costs. Whether this alone is enough to fund a sufficiently talented squad remains to be seen (assuming clubs investment through financial loss remains consistent).

    442 running a story that if Luton are promoted Prem rules would prevent them from playing at Kenilworth Road without a £10M (ball park figure) extensive refurbishment and rebuild of a stand. The story however is lacking detail of rules to be complied with, which stand etc so I'm unsure if its validity. 

    Has been quoted in numerous media outlets, so is valid. Work includes updating media facilities including improved floodlights. Not sure if stand rebuild is mandated or would be undertaken to raise capacity.

    Really? Not sure I've seen a dirtier team all season. Everytime Boro went forward they fouled. Doyle should have been off. 

    The time wasting from their gk was ridiculous and he should have seen red too. The rolling around on the floor from him like he had been shot in the head despite no contact to his head was embarrassing. 

    They were the better team (in my opinion). 

  6. Went to Wigan early 90s. We had the grass bank. Gas had played there mid week, but didn't take enough for the bank to be opened. Had "Deafy" on our coach. Won 3-2 with one of our goals scored when he was having a pee. He thought we had drawn until someone bought the pink un in Brum.

    Saw this on social media. It's City's old St John Lane ground after we'd left for Ashton Gate. Still in use for athletics, rugby and - as you can see - cycling.

    May be an image of 4 people and crowd

    Great photo. I'll walk down there tomorrow to see if I can see the buildings behind.

    Is the expectation that the club will invest significantly now to build a side that can compete at the top level, or will the promoted team be relied on?

    From recent fans forum, will be a mixture of both. There will be an influx of experience coupled with a desire to maintain the youth set up which has provided a fair proportion of the Championship team.

    Yes 

    It's an Under 21 team player, NOT someone aged under 21

    That award is later 

    It's even odder that so many of the ladies team are away together in Barcelona at the moment 

    Maybe unfortunate, but poor none the less. Respect the club who pays their wages.
