Interesting read. https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jul/07/why-are-bournemouth-fulham-and-brentfords-womens-teams-so-behind Seems like we are, along with Reading, one of the few clubs that's bucking the trend.

That's a shame! I was hoping to catch a game whilst visiting home

Is there likely to be another friendly game squeezed in between Stockport away and the Derby game at the start of August? Don't we usually have a 'big' name home game before the season starts?

Imagine buying a season ticket for the women's team after today's revelation....

That is awful and is up there with one of the worst things I've read during the Venky period. So a significant portion of our income comes from the clubs award winning charity!? Surely, this isn't normal and doesn't happen at other clubs.

It looked like we were making good progress developing the women's team. Highest ever position, record attendances and I assumed closer to going full time than 9k a week for 30+ hr?? a week job. I'm not sure how the figures stack up, but the wages of a team in the 6/7th league in Germany won't be far off, with similar crowds and presumably less sponsorship than Rovers. Maybe there are appearance related bouses too. Eitherway this decision has destroyed the team and we would do well to avoid relegation this season.

not sure if it helps, but the menu icon the on bottom right of map lists available seats per segment

Looking at the average attendances over the last 15 years, we have the highest since our prem league days. Not sure how the away fans influence this number though. Of course its only a minor increase and a lot less compared to almost every other comparable team in the country. I would be happy if they took 2 million from the sale of our local boy and knocked it off the price of season tickets for the local fan base.

I hope Johnson is now in change. Another point to add to the list of things wrong with this team is our attempts at long throw ins. The fullbacks wind up like Rory Delap and it barely makes the edge if the 18 yard box

Just seen that the game has been added to ESPN in thr US.

Hoping for a 2-0 win. Sammie and Dolan to score. 19k attendance. I still think we will survive this season whatever happens tomorrow.

Would you keep Telalovic or Vale? I think Vale has a more impressive record so I would keep Vale if we were to keep one of them. I haven't seen enough of either this season to make a decision though...

Yeah I think we're safe now. We would need to lose all 3 games and an almost perfect set of results from those below us now. Still would like to see us finish off the job tomorrow infront of our fans

Sounds like we are playing our strongest team tomorrow. Be interesting to see how many of our players can compete against an upper mid-table Premier league team. With a bit of luck and a more competent structure we could have been playing these teams every week. I watched the arsenal game and they can be beaten. However, we are not arsenal, so I'm going for a hard fought 1-2 loss. Our highest attendance this season of just under 21k may also be broken.
