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.

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...

Great news, especially for our club

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

Great news for the town, the club and every one of the supporters who turned up to the matches making NYS a valued part of the bid.

Brilliant! Great news!

What? Are they playing a game in Hertfordshire?
