Welcome to Manchester reception committee
WSL Cup
Sunday 19th August at 2pm

It starts off with a group stage. We play each team once, top two qualify.

Group Two North

Liverpool
Everton
Manchester United
Reading
Durham

Liverpool, Everton and Reading are WSL1 clubs. Durham, like us, are in the Championship.

It's at the Tranmere Rovers ground

Wow nice. Hopefully it's true. I'm sure United women's games will get decent attention from football fans in general.

First real game since 2005! Hope we don’t get smashed!

Anyone else going to the match me and my niece are going.
That's great. Are you planning to go to some of the home matches as well?

I was thinking about going, but the combination of the timing, stadium location and it being on TV is making me lazy. If they'd confirmed a noon kickoff or kept it as a Saturday match, I would have gone.

Yes I have already purchased the season ticket

I'm actually excited but nervous about this match being on tv :lol: it's a tough match vs Liverpool. Hope we win or we'll never hear the end of it.

Is this usual for early WSL matches to be broadcast on TV? Or is it because Liverpool vs United?

Don’t worry, the result will be forgotten in about 70 years time! :D

We’re one division down from them, so they are Draga and we are Rocky!

It will be extra interesting for Stoney, but also Greenwood and Chamberlain!

I've only ever heard of them broadcasting the League Cup final in the past, though I think the FA might have put some games on their Facebook page. I doubt anyone's usually keen enough to broadcast a Championship team in the group stage though.

The BBC broadcast the women's FA Cup, so if we get an interesting draw in that, we might appear on there as well.

Funny isn't it. All this time in hiding and then first official time out, not only is it on TV in a Cup match against a WSL1 team, it's against Liverpool. Had to be really.

So if my timings are right we can watch our first women's game and then immediately turn over to watch the men away to Brighton?

Sounds like a damn good Sunday to me

No worries
Can’t wait for this! I’m not too worried about losing this as really we should lose anyway with it being our first competitive game against an established, tough opponent. It would be much worse for Liverpool if they lost. I’m just excited to see what this team can do.

Apart from Casey Stoner (sort of),

Siobhan Chamberlaine
Emily Ramsey
Alex Greenwood
All came from Liverpool, right, and
Katie Zelem has played there.

Any others in the team/squad?

More or less our entire defence came from there.
As well as Siobhan and Emily (the keepers) and Alex, we've got:
Martha Harris
Amy Turner
Lucy Roberts
Naomi Hartley
Naomi and Emily, like Katie, were only there because they had to be, they're from our Academy really! We do have one defender NOT from Liverpool - that's Kirsty Smith from Hibs.

We've also got a blue scouser: Mollie Green.

The M-62s sounds like a great band name!

I wonder why Liverpool still show that as their official badge when they haven't worn it on their kit in years. Bit weird.

Come on United!
