Bring the Noise

[Tim of the Oak]

We've sold 25K tickets for the women's derby? You are joking?!?!?!

Not joking at all.

 

[Didsbury Dave]

Not joking at all.

That's absolutely incredible.

 

[JASR]

That's absolutely incredible.

... I remember some/many posts from a few years ago, about MCWFC never likely to get more than a few thousand...and why have they got so much tV/media exposure... you build something, (and have a decent product), they will come.

Plus I think the belated and embarrassing arrival of the United women’s team joining the gravy train , with its obvious rivalry aspect, has given the match a big spike in ticket sales, along with England’s exploits.

Just on the women's derby, adult tickets £7 kids free, all the car parks are free and entertainment all round the stadium.

Without wanting to sound overly-cynical, where has the 25K figure come from?

It’s the Women’s Derby on Saturday and let’s make sure our Team gets fantastic support. About 25k tickets have already been sold.

great news. I will be watching

Not suprised at all. The women's game is booming round the world and our female team is one of the best in Europe. It's live on TV and will also get a decent audience.

The ticket office

That's astonishing. I know it's been getting plugged a lot - from both clubs - but I was expecting 10-15k absolute tops. I've little interest myself but fair play to everyone that is going along

I reckon it must include a decent number of rags for us to laugh at

It's so astonishing that I still don't believe it to be brutally honest. It would be big news for women's football to get a crowd like that. I'm not even sure they got that many for the cup final!

Not that I don't believe the posters are passing on info in good faith...it just seems an enormous crowd.

I understand the crowd for Chelsea vs Spurs at Stamford Bridge will be bigger but they were giving tickets away so there are likely to be more no shows.

43k for the womens fa cup final this year, I can definitively believe 25k

City fans should be very proud of the donkey work put in by many people over the years. It deserves your support because this is about respecting women as footballers and equal members of society so get out there and support City, and be part of something good.

Hi mate,

The Women's FA Cup final has had over 40,000 in the last 2 seasons at Wembley

Chelsea v Arsenal in 2018 45,000
City v West Ham this year 43,000

It is hugely on the up and I am seeing that at grassroots level with the girls coaching I do.

Sorry, but that is bollocks. I absolutely respect women as equals (actually they are probably stronger than us blokes but that is for another day, lol) but this is just a footy match, nothing else, nothing more.

It's definitely on the up, mate, and that's great news. If we do get 25K that will be an enormous landmark for women's football.

First two home games, bar SSL1, the atmosphere has been dog shit in our two home games so far this season.

So let’s get behind the lads today, especially after last week!

 

[christopp]

decent all round today no complaints

In CBL3 Today.

Great effort from the Kippax Corner, SSL1, and other parts of the Etihad at times.

Nice to hear the Kippax corner singing again. Reminds me of when I used to stand there.

Please keep it up.
