I think that’s a bit naïve. Palace and Birmingham aren’t going to stand still.BalladMan said:I’m not saying we are winning the league or mid table, I specifically said we need to come second bottom against at least 2 teams in our league and have already beaten this year and Brighton.Much like the men’s team this year, enough to consolidate and then build.
We can safely assume Birmingham will pump a lot of money in this summer. They’ve already invested heavily in their women’s team this year and they’ve been vocal about their future ambitions. Palace massively underperformed in the first half of the season. Their form recently is more like what you would’ve expected from them over the whole season. They’ll reinforce and regroup. They’ll be decent next year.
We need to commit a large chunk of money to the women’s team if we want to be part of the elite. Whether the owners are willing to do that, I don’t know, but the women’s game is still the fastest growing sector of football and I think the club would be wise to grab the opportunity. Some won’t like it because there are quite a few fans who are only interested in the men’s team, but in my opinion, it’s really important to promote this part of the club.

It's no surprise our form has tanked after the winter window where lots of teams strengthened and we bought a bench option and a defender who stayed on the bench yesterday while a right winger was brought on to play LB instead. To not assume similar would happen next season is incredibly naive

If we were in the WSL1 and were playing Liverpool at home in a league fixture, that would be a must-win for avoiding relegation. We'd need to be massively stronger to go into that sort of game trying to win it rather than the team playing out of their skins to just about grab a point over the 90 minutes.
Having said which, the fact we competed with Liverpool suggests a one-off game against Leicester (or whoever) isn't completely hopeless. So that's a positive.3 -
12 Apr: International break. England play Spain at Wembley (7pm ko) on 14 April.
19 Apr: International break. England play Iceland in Reykjavik (5.30pm ko) on 18 April.
26 Apr: Southampton, away, 2pm. At St Mary's. £10 adult, £4 under-18 if accompanied by an adult. Tickets from here.
2 May: Birmingham City, home, 3pm. At the Valley. £10 adult, £8 over-65, £2 under-18. Tickets from usual website.
Southampton seem not to have finished uploading their ticket page - it's showing the wrong kickoff time at present. No identified away area but there's a suspiciously square block of seats taken in block 3 rows Q to T which could be the seats booked by the club. Or it could be someone else.0 -
Looks like Sunderland have got some serious investment in ahead of next season. Let's hope that's not something we have to worry about immediately.

Obviously we're hoping that we don't need to care about the makeup of the second tier next season, but perhaps worth noting that Watford have won the southern division of the tier 3 league again, so they will be promoted. The second of the three slots goes to the winner of the north division, which looks like being Burnley but could also be Wolves. The third goes to a playoff on Monday 4 May when whichever club loses out in the northern division will play either Plymouth or Bournemouth.
Those 3 promoted sides replace the 2 who get automatic promotion to WSL1 plus whoever finishes last in the very tight battle at the bottom, leaving WSL2 still with 12 clubs next season.0 -
Our game at Southampton on 26 April has been moved to Eastleigh, with kick-off at 4pm0

That's annoying in terms of getting to watch the game, but our last visit there was the league cup game when we were 1-0 down in the 90th minute and won 2-1. So the players will have positive memories of it.EpsomAddick said:Our game at Southampton on 26 April has been moved to Eastleigh, with kick-off at 4pm0 -

good event on the last game of the season!1 -

The nearest station is Southampton Airport Parkway. Still requires one or two changes but no buses.OhMyGodden said:Eastleigh requires 3 changes and 2 rail replacement buses
25 minute walk to/from the ground.
Travelling into Southampton is cheaper and faster but requires a bus to the ground.1 -
Southampton haven't finished updating their ticket page yet - it's still offering reserved seats but Eastleigh is unreserved, sit or stand where you like, turn up early if you need a seat. They've said that all tickets for the St Marys version of the fixture will be accepted at Eastleigh, so no need to delay buying just pick a random seating area. You can buy without having the app but you'll need it to download the ticket.JustFloydRoad said:Swindon_Addick said:12 Apr: International break. England play Spain at Wembley (7pm ko) on 14 April.

WSL Football have released a fan survey as they develop their Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Strategy. It takes about 5 minutes and it’s anonymous. Please complete if you can spare a few minutes:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdMRvXA155nXVTUG0PgLjzQN7dZpVaD2sZkWxGanna30jO7UQ/viewform
Also great if you can share further with any other groups / friends who attend women’s matches.1 -

At the weekend there was a handy reminder of how much we owe to the players, coaches and financial backers who saved the women's team back in 2007 when the club pulled its funding. Blackburn Rovers were relegated from tier 4 and will play next season in the North West Regional League at tier 5, a level where most teams are fully amateur.3

About to set off for the game. We could win promotion today, if we better Palace's result away at Sunderland.

Don't think that is right. It would still go down to the final day. Goal difference if we lost to Brum and they win.EpsomAddick said:About to set off for the game. We could win promotion today, if we better Palace's result away at Sunderland.

That's true if both we and Palace win today and we win by more goals than them – I meant if we get more points than them today.redman said:Don't think that is right. It would still go down to the final day. Goal difference if we lost to Brum and they win.0 -
