Newcastle United Women

I'd imagine yesterdays result could add a couple of thousand regardless of whether the cup was there, due to the feel good factor and people wanting to be in SJP, but it would cool if the trophy was on show.

 

Regarding the match, it's obviously still a big local derby, the first home league meeting with them possibly ever? and likewise, the first time to finish above them probably ever as well, but just from a match POV it is a bit of a shame that it is basically now a mid table match. Obviously the league was extremely tight and it was still relative early days, but back in mid January with Sunderland 3 points off top and us 2 points further back, but with a game in hand (presumably to lowly Blackburn), it looked like one, or both, could have been in genuine promotion contention, but both have stuttered since then, especially Sunderland who lost to lowly Portsmouth yesterday, and London and Birmingham seem to have pulled away a but.

 

In terms of adding numbers though, the cup final result was probably more important than both sides winning their respective matches yesterday rather than losing.

Club have announced over 26000 tickets sold for the derby on Sunday, which will be a league record. Hopefully a few thousand more are sold and the club beats its own record.

And just like that.

Club have also just announced that the Carabao Cup will be shown at the game on Sunday. Lifted by Bob Moncur and Darren Eales, I guess everybody else will either be in Dubai or on international duty. 
 

That should sell some tickets.
