[Easy 10]

Martin Samuel's column today:

"There was a lot of fuss about the crowd at Stamford Bridge to watch Chelsea's women play Tottenham on Sunday but to give away 40,000 tickets and have only 24,564 turn up does not seem the greatest leap forward.

More impressive, surely, was the 3,041 who made the trip to Ashton Gate, and paid, to watch Bristol City's match with Brighton. This was roughly six times the average crowd of last season and, as paying customers, the beginning of a committed fanbase.

Some of the larger attendances may look impressive, but free admission is no indication of a sport's popularity or growth. At Bristol, where the match was linked to wider promotions including the opportunity to stay on and watch England's European Championship qualifier with Bulgaria, the increased interest was tangible. This seems a more sustainable development for the women's game than just giving it away".

Tough to disagree.

If you buy one of these STs, do you get to choose which players come round your house? I could be tempted.

Come on then, if this was the case who would you choose and why?

What a nice touch by the club. Hopefully you remembered to offer Emily and Victoria a cuppa!

I would've done if I hadn't been so shocked!! I'm surprised I managed to string more than 2 words together.

Thanks for posting the link to the club article. I was going to do it but then wasn't sure what the responses would be...

Great feature, I enjoy your posts and updates, you are the A-Z of Brighton and Hove women's football (see A-Z Gull and Fan of Albion Youth@SeagullsAcademy)

Thanks, though not sure I'm quite that knowledgeable

No A-Z is a one off wonder, but you have your pulse on the women's team more than most.

Opened the door this evening to discover two players (Emily Simpkins and Victoria Williams) on my doorstep with the club photographer and a cameraman to present me with my season ticket...

Typical Barber - scrimping on postage.

To be fair you are the only person who has bought one

What the OP seems to have forgotten to mention is that they are priced similarly to a single Premier League game at the Amex, £30 adults and only 10 quid for under 18s/Over 65s. I expect the award was really for committing to travelling to Crawley.

Please stop objectifying women you creeps, how would your wives/girlfriends feel to see you on here lusting after women 20 years younger than you. FFS, grow up.

Yes, keep it to yourselves guys ( just like our female fans do about the players).

Perverts, middle aged men actually wanting to pick delivery girls.
