Bit gutting now they drew against Durham although the goals against is still very impressive!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
It's hard to know how stable the crowd will be. There are a lot of family groups with young kids there, how many of those will become regulars is hard to guess - but they do all love Fred the Red
Imagine it is quite a nice environment to take younger children to. You watch the women playing now and the standard is getting better and better.It's hard to know how stable the crowd will be.

I can see it becoming a first experience of watching a live match for a lot of young kids. Two adults and two kids can go for £15 (+ the drinks, crisps etc of course) and United are giving away the match program which keeps little ones happy for a few minutes. £100 or so cheaper than going to Old Trafford.
It is an easier environment. Seats aren't allocated, families and groups can sit together (which is really hard to do at OT). The kids can walk down to the front and get a photo with Fred the Red.
Car parks are closer to the ground, and less of a cat fight. Traffic queues aren't as horrendous. You don't get trapped in the flow of people through the stadium at halftime and the end of the match. Plus - if the younger kids turn out to hate it, get bored, want to go home - even a quick getaway is easier (though actually most of the kids seemed quite content for the full game).
In other words, it's a great place to train the kids and run the experiment to see if it's worth spending the £120+ and face the extra battle to take them to watch the first team. Get them hooked on the cheap stuff, before reeling them in
Solid work there with the Tweets. Keep it going next games and so on.Attendance: 2,349 for this game.
Solid figure.
Iirc the attendances of previous games are also close to that, roughly similar number of attendances.
A general rise to the whole overall attendances of women's football in both league of all matches may be on the card, gradually.
Baby steps, baby steps.

Btw I know we can win them all now a bit gutted we didn't win vs Durham. They drew vs Villa too this week lol.
Bring on Spurs and Lewes.
Cheers, as long as MUTV keep showing it I will do
Total respect to the fan who kept going with the United battle anthems for the entire 90+ minutes
