OpenC

That would definitely be better (for me at least) so I hope so just used to them playing on a Sunday now. The original dates I saw were the Easter weekend but I have no idea where I saw them

Huddersfield home game on 24/3 now postponed so presumably that's when this is happening. I think I saw something on the socials earlier that said ticket details tomorrow. Going to be a long, long day (assuming I get a ticket)

Hopefully not until after I've bought my ticket As far as #utd and the credibility of the competition goes; wey, you can only beat what's in front of you, as my dad always reminded me

Hopefully they see sense and put it on somewhere bigger and more sensibly placed for Newcastle fans, since I assume Hashtag United and their fans can simply be downloaded rather than having to travel in the usual way I'll be trying for a ticket and just driving there and back I reckon. I do think the journey will probably be enough to knock a zero off the end of the crowd number but the couple of thousand that went to Burnley was still great to be part of

Was it going to go to a replay? Keeper was relentlessly booed for timewasting but i wasn't sure what was actually going to happen if it finished 1-1

Aye

Actually Donnelly played brilliant as well. Really commanding performance from her, some great stops and confident takes.

Suppose I'd best find out the best way to get to Kenilworth Road

Yeah, lasses Pizza Cup

Great that, properly enjoyed it. They were more nervous than usual but all good in the end. Potts and Barker the standouts for me

Can you usually hear the speakers in the Strawberry Corner? Terrible sound here

Twenty minutes to get yourselves down

Horns have been confiscated Kingston Park massive will be disappointed

Can hear the fans and the horns already, seems plenty busy like

20,000 would be a canny effort all the same like, ten times what goes to Kingston Park, and it's not like Kingston Park is anywhere near selling out. Rosie's is much more civil than usual

2 :/

I think they do for Kingston Park games but not sure (assuming this is the free public transport thing). Would be strange if they didn't. While I'm here, cash turnstiles confirmed as well, £8/£2 on the door, for anybody at a loose end tomorrow afternoon

Just don't watch it, I reckon

I'm not sure if their relatively recent move from Druid Park to Kingston Park was part of the takeover or if their numbers were going up anyway so they had to find somewhere else but I'm not sure Kingston Park has ever been anything other than a temporary measure. I'm not sure what the long term solution is. The big stand at Kingston Park usually looks 40-60% occupied but there are only a couple of dozen behind the goals where I prefer to watch from. They routinely announce the attendances as into the mid 2,000s already and given that the stadium is apparently 10,000ish rated I would say that's probably right. I haven't really got a feel for how many more people would go if they were playing in the Championship and the WSL but the attendances have definitely been on an upward trend since I started going I guess it's inevitable that more people will go if/when they progress up the leagues but the options in the town centre are pretty much nonexistent, unless there's an area of Shieldfield or Manors or Walker I haven't thought about. Maybe that gigantic scrapyard at Ouseburn have heard plenty of people at the game saying that they should just move the men out of SJP and build them the 100k megabowl they think they deserve, and leave SJP for the women

Are they selling enough tickets to justify segregation on the grounds of making sure everybody gets a seat they've paid for? It's one of the best things about going to Kingston Park, just being able to watch from wherever takes your fancy. Will be a bit sad when segregation and defined seats come into it although I guess that's the price of success. Shame that the usual old firm rubbish is impacting on the women as well though, interesting read

Why did they do it? The usual safety reasons? Can't imagine crowd trouble at a women's game here

Could do with keeping some defenders around like - we're starting to feel a bit light in that department. I'm not sure what happened to Olivia Watt yesterday but she's potentially another one down. Looked to be feeling the hamstring, I hope she wasn't like

Looked like she got a hand to the penalty but I couldn't tell from where I was, definitely looked like it hadn't gone in cleanly though

Looked like an epic diving stop from the much criticised Grace Donnelly today btw, not sure if anyone spotted it or can confirm. I was behind the other goal but it appeared quite the save.

No doubt, so I'm delighted to be one of the people who can rattle on in the future about how it didn't used to be this way you can sense the women's game taking off at the minute, imo. I hope Newcastle make it before FFP starts protecting another big four or six
