The speculation was that it could be Manchester United as she did not wish to announce her new club whilst preparing for World Cup games. This looks like a chance to earn a lot of money whilst in her prime. I am not sure how she would have coped defensively playing for one of the very top teams, her lack of pace was always a factor, but she did look impressive in transitioning the ball and that would be where she would be more suited as a central midfielder. 11 hours ago, Lineker's Lugs said: Manchester United! She's barely WSL standard, nowhere near good enough for a UWCL club. I was surprised her departure was announced so late as it implied there was a possibility of her staying when it was definitely time for the club to move on if they had any ambitions to progress. On a more general note, the contrast in standard between the players that departed and those brought in is stark. I'd still say 8th is probably the ceiling though. She did manage to “cope” more than well enough defensively at the WC, playing against UWCL quality players. Surprised she’s apparently opted for a big payday in what would at best be deemed a retirement league so relatively early in her career (of course I have absolutely no clue what her personal circumstances are), particularly given what I imagine wouldn’t be the best of social conditions for single women in Saudi Arabia (wasn’t even aware they have a female league), but nonetheless best wishes to her. She served us quite well - and always gave a 100% effort. Edited 13 September 2023 by NaijaFox 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess Reavill (involved a couple times last season) & Simone Sherwood will be with the first team quite a bit I think. Along with Draper, they’re the 3 ready to step up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davieG Posted 22 September 2023 Share Posted 22 September 2023 FSA There was a big step forward for away fans in the women's game this week with the introduction of new regulations in the FA Women’s Super League which will offer easier access to tickets for away games. A new FA policy implemented over the coming season will see supporters of the women’s top-flight league able to purchase tickets for away fixtures through their own club’s ticketing sites. Previous club policies had been required to cover home matches only, and fans often had to register with opposition clubs to access away tickets. Clubs will now be asked to consider an away match ticketing strategy within their licensing agreements. Our head of women's football Deborah Dilworth said: "This is good news for supporters – it’ll be a smoother process to purchase away tickets which, in turn, will encourage travelling numbers and boost atmospheres inside stadiums."

moore_94 Posted 28 September 2023 Share Posted 28 September 2023 Abbie McManus has retired after she broke her leg earlier this year "Football has been such a massive part of my life and I truly believe it's taught me so much and moulded me into the person I am today," she said. "Since breaking my leg in January there has been many ups and downs, with the biggest down being I can't kick a ball without pain. If you know me you can imagine the tears pouring down my face whilst writing this." https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66942888 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is an excellent coach who really knows how to develop individual players and establish a positive and welcoming environment. The only drawback is she’s a Liverpool fan, but at least she married into a Leicester supporting family! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a lot of people parking on the streets around the ground on women's match days as they don't seem to be as strict compared to men's games. But wouldn't like to say for sure this is okay. You can park in the LRI multistory car park as this is usually quiet on weekends and probably similar price to parking at the ground. About a 10 minute walk away. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been to a few womens games and im pretty sure the car parks are open straight after the game. Suppose its just easier to leave it on the website as it is when you book them for a mens game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
