Palace home match is February. Be good to Amex that one.

Great to see the club have got a couple of decent matches scheduled at the Amex for the women's team. The Man Utd match looks to be a cracker.
I noticed that they are selling sun harvest lounge tickets for £25. No real indication of what that really entails other than lounge access and lounge box seat. Anyone know what that 25 quid actually gets you?!
I mean to be honest I am a bit of a cheapskate at heart so I'll more than likely just stump up for a normal seat at £12.

I'd agree.

It would potentially attract many more fans, but with the flipside that the family-friendly atmosphere might be threatened with that opposition.

As it stands, the 2 games at the Amex this season are:

Saturday Oct 19th - Manchester United
Saturday Nov 16th - West Ham

I was wondering that too. I fancy getting a view from a different vantage point but is that all you get for the extra dosh?

Might fire off an email to the club to get some kind of clarification. one of the possible plus points for me would be the potential for a car parking space at the Amex that is usually part of the normal match day lounge access. But I fear that it really isn't much coming in the way of perks for your 25 quid.

Only two home games at the Amex?

I have just counted that Arsenal Women are playing EIGHT home games at the Emirates (plus other WCL matches). Here's Arsenal's fixtures:

Arsenal Women's 2024/25 WSL fixture list confirmed

We’re excited to announce our fixtures for the 2024/25 WSL have been released, with eight confirmed for Emirates Stadium

www.arsenal.com

Only two does suggest a lack of ambition. Disappointing.

But they pull in big crowds for certain fixtures, have had 60k for a few, so it's economically viable to play there.

I don't understand why renting a tiny stadium 20 miles away is considered more financially viable than opening up part of the vastly superior facility you actually own and control revenue streams at.

If the Amex was opened for 6 or 7 games a season, we'd be averaging at least 7,000 there I should think. Just open the West stand lower tier and either or even just one end?
