Newcastle United Women - Champions and Promoted

There will be people much more clued up than me, but just looking at recent statistics, it doesn't really seem that way. Wolves were just promoted into the third tier 18 months ago, and they topped the league in their first season last season winning 18 and drawing 5 of their 24 league games, before losing in the playoff to remain in the same league this year. They could have obviously thrown relatively obscene amounts of money at it, but it does show you can make the step up, considering they are currently top this season. Brighouse Town were also promoted that season and had a record of 11 wins and 7 draws from their 24 matches, and a GD of +20, so again, made a fair fist of it. 

 

Liverpool Feds just pipped Newcastle to promotion last season by 3 points and they are currently sitting in midtable having won 3 and drawn 3 of their 10 matches, including a draw against Wolves, and follow promoted side Boldmere have 10 points from 10 games and outside the relegation zone.

 

Newcastle just don't seem to be doing as well this season for whatever reason, which is quite surprising considering they are getting a lot more coverage this year. Last year they won 18 and drew 2 of their 22 league games, 56 points, and a +69 GD which was by far the best GD in the league. Whereas this season, it is currently W6 D1 L2 from their 9 games, and just +7 GD, so mainly winning matches by 1 or 2 goals, and a few last minute winners, rather than an average of 3 and 4 last year, and they'd have to win 12 and draw 1 of their remaining 13 matches just to match the record of last season. Not sure if other teams are just stronger this year and there's more competition, but it does seem far more of a struggle this year at this stage.

Howay the lasses.

 

Nufc.co.uk missing a trick not streaming these games like. Easy way to build the popularity of the team

Surely trying to get people to actually go for £1-3 is the way you build a fan base. Not by showing the games live.
