Anyone on here going to this? If so, do you know if it's segregated or do you just get tickets for anywhere in the ground?

Did you mean to ask this question about our WSL1 first match - away to City at the Etihad on the 7th September? If it's that one then United have an "away end" ticket, though I doubt there will be a lot of enforcement of segregation. https://www.eticketing.co.uk/muticketsandmembership/details/event.aspx?itemref=10292

The cup match with City at Leigh, I don't know - usually they just open as much of the ground as they think they can use, and ignore segregation. United have the tickets to that one on the website now as well.

Welcome to Manchester reception committee
Today's results in our (five team - hence our weekend break) WSL League Cup/Continental Cup group:
Birmingham City 1-0 Everton (Att: 511)
Manchester City 5-0 Leicester City (Att: 1,403)

Meanwhile Liverpool who are our opponents in next weekend's WSL match lost 2-3 to Sheffield United. Sheffield are in WSL2/Championship - Liverpool were leading 2-1 with a couple of minutes to go, so they'll be pretty upset by that.

Best crowd of the day was: Chelsea 2-0 West Ham United (Att: 3,041)

Can someone explain whats going on with the Continental Cup draw?

Uniteds website have United to meet West Ham in the quarter finals. And wikipedia has West Ham ELIMINATED in the group stages.

A 3rd source has Manchester City as HOME team in the quarter finals even though they finished 2nd in the group. The same source has Sheffield United and Aston Villa who finished
1st and 2nd in group A - NOT even part of the quarter finals.

And a 4th source, BBC, also has West Ham eliminated.

While Chelsea and Reading moved on from Group D, West Ham and Tottenham both went goal crazy in their final bow in the competition - winning 7-0 and 6-0 respectively against Crystal Palace and Lewes FC.
Ties for the quarter-finals of the competition are scheduled to take place over 15-16 January.

Qualified teams: Aston Villa, Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Sheffield United, Brighton & Hove Albion, Manchester City, Reading"

In summary, we have 4 different version of the group results, which is the correct one? I am speechless really, what a mess :-)

I think one of the news feed sites has messed up - that looks like last years QF draw, and Google amongst others are quoting it as if it's this years. Daft that United have put it on their fixtures list as well - I guess they have it there as a marker for the date/venue, but it should just show a "to be confirmed" opponent there.

According to the FA feed the qualifying teams are:

and the QF draw is on Monday:

No worries
Of course City avoid Arsenal/Chelsea. Looks like its gonna be a repeat of last year's semis. Maybe Reading can cause an upset, but I doubt it.

So with the big 3+1 in the semi-finals, the final venue is now known, and with two Manc teams and two London teams in the semis, they've opted for Nottingham:

The draw for the semi-finals is this Saturday at 3:50:
