BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION WOMEN v SHEFFIELD LADIES
Sunday 12 November - 1pm, Culver Road, Lancing
This isn't a post for anyone who wants to dismiss women's football as 'boring', 'rubbish', nor 'it's only a men's game'. Or even 'no thanks'. If you feel that, skip the rest of this post, and head over to the next thread.
Brighton & Hove Albion Women have made an encouraging start to life in the Women's Super League Division 2 (WSL2) this season. While in 6th out of 10 after four matches, they're only two points off the top. This is the highest the team - first led by Amy Merricks but now with the legendary Hope Powell in charge - has ever been, and they're far from looking out of their depth.
This Sunday, while there's a men's international break, the Albion Women take on their counterparts from Sheffield at Culver Road, Lancing. The football on offer is fast, exciting, skillful and, in Ini Umotong, the Albion have a centre-forward with genuine pace, strength and an eye for a goal.
This is a great opportunity for anyone who hasn't yet been to see the Women play to go and support them. For me (others may disagree), if you're a fan of Brighton & Hove Albion, I don't see how you can support one Albion team and not any others.
In short, why not - EVEN IF JUST FOR THE SAKE OF ONE MATCH - head over to Lancing on Sunday to support Hope Powell's ever-improving team? They could really do with your support and, who knows; bringing your daughter/niece and their friends along, it could well inspire them to want to take up football for the super Seagulls...
For the sake of one match, they could really do with us going along mob-handed to support them. Tickets are £8.00 in advance or a tenner on the door - and a whole single quid for the kids. No concessions for regular STHs.
See you there.
Oh, it is Culver Road, it's cold there even in June. Weather forecast is for bright sunshine, but wrap up warm.
