Reportedly £80 for a season ticket to Arsenal which gets you 11 home league games and a minimum of 2 cup games.

If crowds dont go it wont be because of pricing!

It's half that for Brighton! And includes cup games to the quarter finals. First 2 home games of the season are at the Amex too.

Looks like all scummy media are the same, they do exactly the same over here.

I don't read German, but glanced at the article, used Google Translate for some of it and watched the highlights again on YouTube. It appears the German media link you mentioned is complaining about a handball at 0-0, during the goal mouth scramble in the first half. They are ridiculously clutching at straws, given the ball was kicked from about a foot from a group of 2 or 3 defenders, and may have hit a hand. A hand that was not in an unnatural position, nor stopping the ball going into the net.

I wonder if journalists are genuinely bitter people, or they are simply feeding on the bitter sections of the public, knowing they'll be attracted towards their nonsense article.

You can bet that if the boot was on the other foot the tabloids here would be out for blood...

It's great to build the crowds up but those numbers don't add up for long

I'd like to know the data you have for this? Of the 3 years I've had a ST, the gates have consistently been 8-1200 at Crawley and 6-10,000 at the Amex. Simply put, more people would go and see Brighton women if they played in Brighton! I can't speak for other teams and grounds, I've not done an away. But for Brighton specifically, the phrase "build it and they will come" is certainly apt!

I didn't mean using the AMEX, I meant charging £40 for a season ticket.

Definite mixed feelings on this one from me. Just fantastic to see Women's sport being given a decent platform and, low and behold, there is plenty of demand to watch it. More please, and not just football.

But.... aaargh did England have to win? ;)

Because they were the best team in the tournament AND if there is a legacy and positive changes then there will be many wee lassies who will fulfill their dreams.
 
I never seen the game, i was busy watching paint dry but what an acheivement for the England womens team and womens football in the uk generally.

Nice to see the German newspapers are taking it well, still bitter about 66 as well it sems:

One of the biggest newspapers in Germany, Bild, have gone even further, claiming the 2003 and 2007 world champions were ‘scammed’ and ‘cheated’ during the record-breaking final.

Many Germany fans still feel aggrieved over England’s controversial third goal in the 1966 World Cup final and Bild said: ‘Wembley fraud again! Even with video evidence, we are being scammed.

‘In the 2-1 defeat after extra time we are cheated again almost exactly 56 years after the Wembley goal scandal.’

Lampard's goal that was about 2 feet over the line must have escaped their noticed somehow.

You’d think the 3 subsequent World cups and 3 European championships might well have softened the blow.
 
Never been a massive football lover but I think this women showed British football for what it should be and a lot of male followers should be ashamed.

Grounded and humble, Approachable
Passionate, no fake fouls pretending it hurts, Controlled crowds without loutish behaviour, no trouble or chaos after.

Oh and they delivered.

Walking through London yesterday morning and so many male and female fans were wearing England tops at 7am in the morning, this could have been on their way to the ceremony or could it just be they were proud of the achievements.

Lads take note!
