    4-15th is international break, I’m guessing FA Cup games too?

    3 different KO times for the first 3 games

    Every game will be on Sky or the BBC

    Unfortunately, unless we have men's fixtures moved for TV, there are four fixtures that clash with men's games (potentially five depending on the 3rd round FA cup draw). Typically, all of them are home games!

    Tempted by a visit to Goodison as I was always too young in the Prem era to go

    I find it crazy that they're paying for the maintenance of 2 stadiums right now in Goodison and whatever the new place is called. Can't be cheap, and surely selling it off and building houses on it will be pretty lucrative, like Arsenal with Hughbury

    I don't know as much about Charlton women in recent years but I know the standard of the WSL is very high and for Charlton to not finish bottom will be an amazing achievement.

    I guess Birmingham, Palace and maybe West ham and Liverpool will be the teams CAFC will be looking to get points off in 26/27 as it will be like the Alamo against the rest.

    The money being spent by Michelle Kang is off the scale at London city Lionesses who are trying to join Arsenal, Chelsea, Man city in the elite and Man United who are the best of the rest.
    Earps, Kumagai, van de donk, Putellas, Godfrey, Diani, Cascarino etc don't come cheap and Kang will expect LCL to be at least 4th.
    They money they're spending is crazy. Putellas is the highest paid player in the world and Geyoro last summer was the highest transfer fee ever paid.

    If we want a measure of what our women are up against. Putellas is earning more than most of our MEN'S team. 

    I'd say LCL will be aiming even higher than 4th, with that outlay the aim has to be to qualify for the Champions league? Admittedly though the 'big 3' are a class above.

    That list misses off Mapi Leon too, one of the best centre backs in women's football. I think anything less than top 3 is a failure

    Liverpool at home first up 
    That's pretty much perfect. A big name to attract the less committed fans but a game where we ought to expect to be competitive.

    It's a really old-fashioned place. Steep steps, cramped seats with not much leg room. In other words, absolutely fantastic and a great experience.

    An interesting selection of grounds in use now. A few giant grounds, a few lower league ones, but also some unique ones, not used in men's football.

    Everton play at Goodison
    Liverpool at St Helen's (Rugby League)
    Manchester City at the Academy Stadium
    Manchester United at Leigh (Rugby League)

    The Brighton away game is scheduled for the Amex, rather than the usual Crawley Town. The other away games look to be at clubs' usual venues, so Spurs at Orient, West Ham at Dagenham, etc.

    Here's a link to the WSL site where you can select Charlton from the club drop-down and just see our fixtures including times and venues. Everything subject to change due to TV and clashes with rearranged Premier League games, of course.

    Ridiculous that on the 19th September at 12:30pm, the men are away to Cardiff on Sky Sports+ while the women are home to London City on the BBC at exactly the same time.

    The question has to be how many followers of the men's team will attend women's games at the Valley?

    Not many in recent seasons.

    Until the last couple of matches last season which drew decent crowds - and we need to build on that in WSL. I believe there is significant overlap - most women’s ST holders also follow the men.

    Now we're in the WSL there will be more interest

    That's one of the four/five home games I'm missing, despite being a season ticket holder for both the men and women, due to fixture clashes. The others are:

    Sun 6th September - Charlton v Liverpool (I will be in/coming back from Stoke)
    Sun 1st November - Charlton v Chelsea (I will be in/coming back from Middlesbrough)
    Wed 17th March - Charlton v Everton (the men have Birmingham away on the same day)

    I'm also potentially missing:

    Sun 10th January - Charlton v Birmingham (this could clash with the men's FA cup tie)

    The game against Everton is the most ridiculous one for me. The women play mid-week fixtures twice and not only have they chosen to have one of those on the same week as there are mid-week fixtures scheduled for Championship teams, but they have also chosen the exact same date.

    I'm led to believe that 22 players have signed contracts for the club. Not all have been announced.

    It would be great to know who is heading off to Spain for the training camp.

    It seems some PGA players will be announced in the squad for the first half of the season.

    Our promotion means we enter the FA Cup one round later than we're used to. Round 4 is on 17 January and will feature the 14 WSL1 clubs plus 18 survivors from round 3, who are usually mostly from tiers 2 and 3. The draw is usually the day after the previous round, so Monday 14 December.

    Later rounds are 21 Feb, 21 March and 11 April, with the final on Saturday 15 May.
