October’s Affordable Football

Some of the things that have caught our eye for the month ahead

It is a big month in the Women’s game with the The FA WSL season reaching its climax and lots of big games at the top and bottom of Division One (where the season ends on Sunday 12) and in the race for promotion from Division 2 (Sunday 26 is the final day). Prices rarely rise above £6 for some high quality football and a full fixture list with prices can be found at the official FA WSL website.

Arsenal and Manchester City battle it out in the Continental Cup Final, to be held at Wycombe Wanderers’ Adams Park ground on 16 October at 7:45pm with tickets priced at £5 for adults and £2.50 for children and a £10 family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) on offer.

Liverpool Ladies are at home to Linkopings of Sweden in the Champions League on Wednesday 8 (kick-off at Widnes 6:30pm) with tickets priced at £5 adults and £2.50 for concessions.

And Scotland will host the Netherlands in a World Cup qualifying play-off semi-final on either 25/26 of this month (details not yet confirmed at time of writing).

And elsewhere…

Monday 6: The Premier League Under-21 Cup offers fans a chance to watch a competitive game played (usually) at their club’s home ground for just a few pounds. For instance Leeds United host Doncaster Rovers on this night. Kick-off is at 7pm and tickets are £3/£1.

Tuesday 7: Coventry City repeat their ‘Football for a Fiver’ initiative for the Johnstone’s Paint Trophy home game against Exeter City. Lots of other clubs have cut prices for their JPT fixtures including Scunthorpe United with standing tickets £8 (£4 for students, under-21's and seniors, £1 for under-16's) for the visit of Notts County.

Friday 10: England Under-21’s play their European Championship play-off against Croatia at Wolves’ Molineux home (kick off 5:45pm) with tickets £10 and £5 and group deals available.
