Last night reminded me of the Olympic Women’s Hockey Final in Rio, when TEAM GB won the Gold Medal and we all became giddy hockey experts for a couple of days.
For the same reason, if City played United next week, I would anticipate the largest league attendance for a WS fixture, as the demand for tickets dictated a switch to the ETIHAD.
However, the current euphoria will slowly dilute, and gradually be absorbed by the day-to-day issues surrounding Guardiola’s battle for supremacy with Klopp, Solskjaer’s transfer policy, and Lampard’s return to Chelsea.
By September, the WSL will be competing with Netball and Swimming for public attention.
