Are next season's fixtures out? I've got to visit newly promoted Chesterfield and Bromley to renew my 92 ground list and I read that London City lionesses are ground sharing with Bromley. Think they're in the same division so might be an option to tick the ground off.

 

 

 

Whey fancy that. London City Lionesses away 1st game on a mens international weekend too. It's an option.

Both Sunderland games are played during international breaks in the men's game 👍🏻

I’d expect both to be played at the main stadiums.

They will be. In the last few seasons, they have generally tried to schedule big women's matches on international breaks, so that clubs have more chance of access to the men's stadiums, with the higher potential for drawing bigger crowds due to the lack of competition. Can see they've also got Southampton vs Portsmouth on the same dates, for the same reasons.

 

It does work very well in terms of generating interest from my experience. When they run Hibs vs Hearts up here, they'll get 7,000 unopposed and 700 if it's on the same weekend as men's matches. I'm expecting it will do a full house for both the Newcastle vs Sunderland fixtures next season.


Edit: The only real downside I've seen, is that the special events rarely seem to grow the average crowds. A lot of people will come out for the one-off fixture, but they won't transition over to coming for a look the next week when the match is back at the regular home ground. It's great exposure, but for some reason it doesn't seem to stick.

There are now, at least, two (or more) in every position. The exception being right wing (with only Beth Lumsden, as far as I know), assuming Haywood is not a winger ('forward' is a bit amorphous and her Twitter page isn't much help). Maybe Almirón could play there :pokerface:.

I'm sure it was usually her or Tyler Dodds playing RW last season until Lumsden arrived.  LW was almost exclusively KB9, was it not?  Maybe I'm misremembering.  Elson looks to be able to play pretty much anywhere in the front but I remember her being used most on the right wing.

No it was me, I was thinking of KB

Unable to buy as no link. Spoke to box office and existing season ticket holders can renew from Friday. Looks like the 16th for new season tickets. £70 including the St James fixtures for the West Stand and £54 for standing
