Her story about becoming Newcastle mad after visiting grandparents and uncles/aunties in the North-East reflected my own situation really closely. I haven't seen much of the footy if I'm honest but quite enjoying getting to know some of the players. Are they gonna annihilate the Championship as well or is there a bit of a jump in quality between tiers 2 and 3? I haven't watched any Championship but although we ended up on the wrong end of 5-0 at Manchester United I didn't feel there was a massive gulf in quality between the teams. They were undeniably quicker and fitter, and in retrospect we maybe showed a little bit too much respect but most of the five goals came from being stretched into chasing the game - in terms of footballing ability you wouldn't have said there were two leagues between the sides (possibly a consequence of how small the leagues are in the women's game). As somebody said over the page, it's a great time to support the lasses, you can feel the women's game starting to take off now.

Magpie Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 Proper feel like a bit of a bandwagon jumper but me and me mate taking our girls down for the weekend. Got tickets in MSD, they are ridiculously excited. Couldn't not embrace that and enjoy the ride after they enjoyed the semi final last week so much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenC Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 (edited) I feel like they're doing a great job of attracting the next generation like I know at least one lifelong glory hunting Liverpool fan who took his 10 year old daughter; daughter is now wanting to go to Kingston Park to cheer Newcastle on against Liverpool Feds later this month Edited March 2 by OpenC Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they gonna annihilate the Championship as well or is there a bit of a jump in quality between tiers 2 and 3? It's a really big step up. A lot of teams in that league are already pro or semi-pro do we won't have that advantage anymore. I think we will probably try to establish ourselves for a couple of seasons in that league, and then push on to the WSL. We need to go down the route Man U did and try to attract a few WSL players maybe coming towards the end of their career, as well as trying to poach more local talent from Durham/Sunderland who have both been in that league for a while. If Sunderland do go up this year, there will likely be a few players who won't be good enough for the WSL that we could encourage to come to us!!

Again, they're a really well run club, who bring a lot of eyes to non-league, and generally do a lot of good. Yes their name is a bit cringe but I don't see why that should be held against them.

OpenC Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Have we not already done the poaching talent from Sunderland and Durham? Or did we just sign lasses that weren't getting a game? I would hope they'll be looking to pick up WSLers who are out of contention at their teams as suggested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 I don't think Stoke have a stream, and it will feel quite weird not being able to match the match if not. Looking at past fixtures, I'll have seen 10 of the last 11 games stretching back to November, Fylde away in the cup being the exception. 8 of those 11 have been at home, and there were streams for both Man Utd and Burnley away.

A lot of our player have played for Sunderland. I agree that WSL players should / and probably will, given the last two season's recruitment, be our aim. However, players like KB made their debut for Sunderland (admittably young and in the WSL) and, I guess, we wouldn't turn our nose up at that type of player, with potential. As for the level in the Championship, it's pretty high for the top few - which has to be our aim. There will always be teams that have just come down from the WSL (and teams that want to get back there). Years ago, I coached teams and all you had to do was train more. That's long gone. Even girls of 8/9 are training with Manchester United and Manchester City etc. They have game skills / game awareness as well as physical skill. This, growing, 'game awareness' will be our next step up. Edited March 3 by Cclay Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OpenC Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 (edited) That's the other context to the extra challenge of the championship I guess, they appear to be generally way too good for the league they're in so hopefully that's a great starting point.

Paullow Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Good stuff. On paper, this was probably the 2nd hardest of the remaining 7 games, and seems like it will be passed with flying colours. I'll definitely be tuning into Newcastle Fans TV for the vlog when it drops, which is usually around 11pm. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
