[Albion] Brighton Women first home game of the WSL season Sunday 15th Sept vs Chelsea

[zeetha]

Following swiftly on from their first game of the Womens Super League season away at Bristol, Brighton Women are at home (i.e. Crawley) this Sunday at 2pm against Chelsea.

Whilst we got a point away at Bristol, Chelsea took all three points at home after defeating Spurs and this game will be a stern test for Hope Powells team against a team that finished third in the Super League last season.

Tickets are available from the Albion at the following prices:
Adult : £4
Over 65 : £2
Under 18 : £2

List last season, Seagulls Travel are providing free transport to the game from various locations.

Looking forward to a good crowd as season ticket sales are much up on last year, and therefore a good atmosphere!

UTA!

How much up are season ticket sales?

Last I heard they were up 500% so hopefully will be a fair crowd.

I think the best Brighton will get this afternoon is a draw, but hey maybe they can do what Norwich did to Man City yesterday!

Not sure on the TV coverage at the moment, but there is a new app called The FA Player which you can watch most (if not all) of the matches live (including the Brighton match this afternoon). You should be able to find it in the app store.

Cheers, I must have dream't it but thought we got a 1-1 v Chelsea so hopefully that's an omen.

I am always impressed how Frank Lampard always mentions the women's teams in his interviews, apparently he did this at Derby as well.

I listened to the Bristol City away game on the radio, so may look for this option again today. A game we should have won, parallels to the men v Burnley yesterday.

All free of charge today at the Crawley ground, you don't get this in WSL at the Amex (I always imagine you might in ESL)

On offer will be free face painting and a free photo booth. Along with this are a range of activities from giant jenga to connect 4. Also our inflatable goal. Have a go to see if you can win a prize.

Albion line up

We are hanging in. Chelsea are a physical side, but move the ball around well, with good passing and press well.

0-0
