    That's interesting. Presumably the stadia are selected on facilities, suitability and availability? None in the north-east and despite Liverpool, Everton, Bristol and Birmingham being in the Women's Super league, no grounds in Merseyside or West Midlands.

    Maybe they think it is better to play in a seemingly full stadium rather than against a backdrop of empty seats.

    That’s probably true.

    The media have been pushing women’s football for a couple of years now, but I don’t think folks have much of an appetite for it.

    It looks like its happening.

    Eufa has confirmed that The FA was the only prospective host to submit a bid.

    A win is a win...

    Number 1 in a field of 1

    It appears the rest of Europe is completely underwhelmed by the attraction of women’s football, but we are being media hyped into liking it.

    They are going to almost give the tickets away to get half decent crowds

    Great news, especially for our club

    One bid so we can’t be accused of brown envelopes 😂
