It’s a small thing but it’s always nice to see local players succeeding, great to have Ashleigh Plumptre, Remi Allen & Libby Smith all out there today, all from Leicester.

You can watch on FA Player live or listen on BBC Radio Leicester

Twitter threads from today’s press conferences

Sunday’s potential title clincher against London City Lionesses is now gonna be live on the FA Player, 2pm kick off 👍

Loughborough’s is a good setup but like you say it’s scheduling, they’ve got the men’s & women’s Uni teams, Loughborough Foxes and Derby U23s are there this season too. There’s always the council’s less than popular plan of having Saffron Lane host football I guess . Only other option, Hinckley aside, is the same route Reading have gone down moving into the Madjeski and move our women’s team into the KP.

Turns out the 11 league wins in a row is also an FA Women’s Championship record

Think Farley is around there if they do something with the open end of the ground, it’s listed as 1400 on wiki but that seems pretty low

Around 300-500 from memory last season, the cancelled FA Cup game with Man City was expected to smash that. Pre covid the FA set out that they wanted the average WSL attendance to rise from 1,000 to 2,000 as one of their 2020 targets so yeah Seagrave won’t work (Sorry Vlad)

That’s one of them that’s been looked at, big upside but it needs a good bit of refurbishment

On the verge of promotion now then with Durham only having 2 games left

Nicely done from a corner 👏

I think there’s a move lined up, they were looking at a few different locations late last year

Joys of the Fa Player 😂

Team news: Reminder that the game is free to watch on FAPlayer.tv at 1 👍

Couple bits of team news courtesy of Radio Leicester: Paige Bailey-Gayle has a ruptured MCL so is out for the rest of the season Remi Allen & Charlie Devlin also miss this Sunday’s game but should be back after that

Goalkeeper coach has started posting clips from training, small insight into an area where we’ve been strongest this season.

Man United have announced their season ticket prices as £39 for Adults and £20 for over 65s & U16s. Should be fairly similar across the board at WSL level

One of ours just booked after offering the ball to the Exeter player to take the throw then lobbing it into the stand instead

Finance wise it’s the biggest game changer the sport’s ever had at £7m-£8m a year and on the accessibility there’s been a lot of “we don’t want to repeat the men’s game” in going down the exclusively pay tv path, it’s great to see that they had that in mind.
