Stand opposite filled up a bit more than this after I took the video. I thought the announcer gave the crowd as 10k+ rather than 7k+ and I believed him I was just along from you. Think we had 4 seasons in 90 minutes today Was wondering how everyone was going to cram into the terraces second half when fans emigrated from the opposite side! Absolutely class day, a real high for the lasses and nufc as a whole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McDog Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Congrats to the lasses. I caught a few games this year. I personally thought the video of Eddie and the mens team giving their congrats and well wishes was also class. Onward and upward! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenC Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 It's definitely one of the reasons I've enjoyed it so much like, and being (usually) able to switch ends at HT has been great as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a peach like, nowt like whinging it's freezing wet one minute to being basked in sun the next. All whilst 10 goals are flying in. Good day.

TheBrownBottle Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Great stuff. Watched it last night, well past my bedtime on a Sunday, late for work as a result, completely worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) 13 hours ago, Decky said: Delighted for the lasses. I'm sure another promotion to the WSL is coming in the next couple of years as well. Some achievement given where they were a couple of years ago under Ashley trying to fund themselves. On a side note I love seeing the likes of Katie Barker still involved at the club having been there since before the takeover when the team was neglected. Bet she can't believe where the club is now in such a short period of time. The other great thing about this is that Katie Barker (among others) doesn't appear to have hit anything like her ceiling at this level. Really direct and aggressive player, and one of the few who stepped up against hashtag with an eye for a shot. Was discussing with stifler during the game that she's great on the wing because she works so hard and either crosses or cuts in so well (and crucially gets her head up so she knows which is the best option), but you could easily see her somewhere else across the front. I don't doubt there'll be incomings and outgoings but I'd be disappointed if very many of the players who formed the core of the team this season went much further than the bench. Going back to O'Neill's post a couple of weeks ago, he watches way more than I do and will have a much better idea of the standard of the Championship and I accept that a fully (?) professional league is a very different proposition to a fully professional team in an amateur or semi pro league routinely turning over opponents by close to double figures, of course Edited April 15 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They cover the academy matches, so it's a real shame that there isn't even a mention on their sight that the lasses could (and should) win the league today. Same with the cup final, absolute no mention before or after about it. Not a single peep out of them today. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 (edited) I suppose if you're not interested you're not interested; there are still plenty of supporters who just aren't bothered about the women's game, which is both fair enough and their loss I know a few women's team fans who couldn't give less of a fuck about the men's team.

Decky Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Do many people still read .com? I haven't in years. The most important media that gets to the masses these days are the people who vlog from the games on YouTube and in fairness plenty of them cover the women's team.

Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I'm down at the game. Another great turn out. Looks like Katie Barker as centre forward Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Nice one, I think she could be great there given a couple of weeks in the position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 It will be either Katie or Jasmine mcQuade. Hope it's Katie. Must be 2-300 here. Ground is atrocious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 (edited) Assume she's playing Kacie Elson and Tyler Dodds either side of her, Boddy McQuade and Kelly in the middle and back 4 of the rest? Not always easy to tell like. Interested to know how the defence looks without Charlotte Potts, let us know Edited April 21 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Be interesting without Charlotte Potts offensively as well as defensive. She starts off that many attacks. Hopefully Jodie Bartle will pick up and fill in well. Could be an interesting game. We should have more than enough but it will be great if we have to score 6 cos they've got 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maybe_next_year Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 No live coverage this time? Shame as I'd quite like to have seen how starting both McQuade & Boddy together might look. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Pretty rare to get live coverage away from Kingston Park, the grounds they're playing at are not particularly high level most of the time. I would have liked to see it as well though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Could have scored 3 in the first 5 mins but slowed down a bit since then. Hannah greenwood playing in the pottsy role. Back 6 playing very fluid and changing about continuously but Kacie and Dodds not playing as well as the wingers normally do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Kacie Elson just hit the bar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OpenC Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Greenwood is a really versatile player, proper little unsung hero in that team. Not as quick to decide what to do as Potts but she's solid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iwantcurlyhair2 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Struggling to create anything clear cut but had about 15 attempts to nil. Agree Greenwood is a great player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
