It's all good news. Also shows the diversification of the sponsors.
So now the Jolie Stadium at the Etihad Campus. Hopefully everything from the sponsorship feeds directly into the Women's Team.
Wasn't this mooted a while ago when they talked of a new shirt sponsor and Etihad to keep the stadium name and the campus?

Id it pronounced Joy, Joey, or Zhwah like in French?

Yeah, the women's team has fallen behind a tad when we lost the midfield and one or two others. It has felt like we don't have the resource to compete with the other top four when it comes to wages or maybe the Manager is struggling or maybe Peps style isn't suited to the women's game. Our women are good but seem to be dominated physically, sometimes. Anyway, hopefully the squad can get what they need from more funds.

Cheers. Gets people talking about them, I guess. Free advertising.
Media reports saying the stadium has become the first in the UK to be dedicated to women’s football. Is this a positive media spin, or are the Academy not going to play there anymore?
Apart from the sponsorship, can anyone see anything else that has changed?

I hope they expand their sponsorship to offer dummies to rags on derby days.
They aren't getting any joy.
Would they use the third one the Etihad campus pitch?

Let's hope the manager lives up to the stadium name.

What makes a good women’s football stadium? Everton point the way
Grounds have traditionally been designed for men but growth of women’s game is rapidly changing the landscape

Interesting piece looking at stadiums for the women's game. We get a name check for the pram park ( a gazebo behind W1) but no other mention which is odd , given we are the only WSL with our own stadium .
