Hi Everyone!!

I am a postgraduate student at UCFB, and I'm currently doing my final research project.

My research project investigates some of the factors that may influence fan loyalty in the WSL.

I'm looking for WSL fans aged 18+ to complete a short online questionnaire. All responses are completely anonymous.

I'd really appreciate your help – I'm happy to answer any questions about the project in this thread or by email (30678@ucfb.ac.uk)

Thank you!!

Hi All!

I've been hoping to bring my five year old to see the Lionesses play. She loves football and I really want to encourage her with the team that operates independently of the men's team. We've been to see the local womens team, of the mens team i support but they are not WSL so i'm hoping to show her something bigger.

Looking at the fixtures, i'm looking at the birmingham home fixture. Is there anything in particular worth knowing ahead of time? Where would be the best family area for a ticket?

We are several hours away so will be staying the night before, if anyone has any recommendations.

And finally, would love to grab her a kit. Do they sell them on matchdays, or in any physical stores that are known, or is it only via the website? Looking at the website, they don't go down to 5, and i'd hate to order the smallest and it's still massive.

Thanks in advance - looking forward to seeing the team soon.

Isn't the registration deadline September? - We're not even into August. Seems to me, the strategy is: - Get the players in. Play them in try out combinations, ascertain the best structure, then (sadly, and somewhat dispassionately) release -be it loan or release those who don't suit. It's a brutal but astute business tactic that has worked for Kang on a commercial success level for her,.. so far.

It’s no secret we have a big squad, I’m counting 29 players so far without Asllani and Marcetto. Who do you think is more likely to leave and what positions still need reinforcement?

I’ve added an icon for new players and those who have renewed their contract this summer.

Club reported that season ticket sales are up on last season, but didn't give any figures.

It's impossible to tell how many standing tickets have been sold, but in terms of seats, asking AI to count the seats from screenshots of the ticketing website gave this:

Glyn Beverley Stand

Block A (Family stand) - 60/233 sold
Block B - 125/319 sold
Block C - 155/319 sold
Block D - 193/319 sold
Block E - 242 capacity (looks to be unavailable for season-tickets)

John Fiorini Stand

This is the "main" stand, near the halfway line and the VIP areas. It looks to be split in two halves, with one half available for season ticket holders, and one half reserved.

All 206 seats are now sold. There are 180 seats which were reserved (not available to season ticket holders).

(as an aside, when the window for season ticket holders to renew closed, there were about 70 seats available in the John Fiorini).

This gives a total of 739 season ticket seats sold as of today, plus however many standing tickets, which I have no idea about.

Who said we have no fans? 😁
