[brighton_dave]

I have 2 tickets for tomorrow match v Chelsea going spare. A different section from my lot as I'd bought for a friend who can no loner attend.
Happy to give away for free for anyone that can attend, adult and child.

Edit as long as you arent rowdy buggers...

A well deserved point for Brighton today against league leaders Chelsea. We were even ahead for awhile !

We are so much better with Kirby in the side - she ran the show for bfhac until she went off. Haley had a very good game holding the ball up and laying it off.

And their equaliser was offside....

Congrats to our women's team for a strong performance and fine result. It adds to a great day for our club.

Enjoyable afternoon with my grandson

I thought Noordam was brilliant too, so energetic - a great addition. The whole team were bloody brilliant to be fair, best I've seen Maddie play for us.

Great of you to dress up.

Both a thoroughly merited and much needed win away for Albion Women today.

The scoreline flattered Spurs - it could've been a heavier defeat for them rather than just Kirby's single strike.

Back up to 5th. Outside the top big 4, it would clearly be good to finish up as the best of the rest.

The return of Fran Kirby has seen an immediate return to form for the ladies. Lovely stuff.

Very good win. My niece went and said deserved to win by more.
For regular womans football followers why did Chelsea v City cup final yesterday only have attendance of 14k

Guessing due to clash of weekends with men’s final giving it far less media coverage. I didn’t even know it was on. Maybe that’s why It’s a more ‘real’ attendance

With Derby located 2 hours from London and 90 minutes from Manchester, it wasn't likely to have an attendance similar to the Women's FA Cup Final.

City playing us at home the same day might have tempted some who would've like to have done both to choose the men's fixture and avoid travel.

An attendance of over 21k watched the 2024 final between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wolverhampton.

In 2023, more than 19,000 watched Arsenal and Chelsea at Selhurst Park.

Arsenal can and do bring the numbers. Outside of them, it's less clear.

Second highest attendance for a Women's League Cup final though. Last season they had 21,000.

It looks as though this competition just doesn't draw the fans. The 14k for the final is more fans than attended the QF and SF matches combined.

Deserved a lot more than 1 today, and well worth it, really good to see us playing great again. Great to see Kirby and Agyeman back, and thought McLauchlan and Noordam were great today. McLauchlan has been a really underrated player this season, really stood out for me.

Its hard to care about a competition that even the authorities don't seem to care about. Rarely is the competition on even the YouTube channels, let alone TV and there is very little media coverage until the latter stages. As to having a final on a pitch like Derbys - ridiculous. Bits of it in the corners and one penalty area seemed to be mainly sand!

I see the women are putting in another disappointing performance, 3-0 down at the moment, and yet another own goal

Back to 3-2 so putting up a fight

And Leicester missed a pen that would've made it 4. Under 10 minutes left to get an equaliser
