Showing that the Saudi’s are investing energy/money into not just the men’s 1st team:
Fourth-tier Newcastle United attract the largest crowd for a women's league match anywhere in England this season as they make their St James' Park debut.

That’s a record crowd for women this seasonthey are in tier 4!
Howe, staveley and the boss were also watching.
It was always ‘slightly’ wrong when City women managed to get promoted into the super league at it’s inception (iirc), but not as wrong as when ‘hanging on the coat tails’ united were handed a straight invite into the established league a couple of seasons ago.
I wonder whether Newcastle will be (if they show the colour of their money) invited straight up as well
