As well as enjoying the moment, with England's Women into the semi-finals of the World Cup for the first ever time, thoughts are turning to how the huge boost that Canada 2015 has given to the women's game can be translated into bigger attendances for domestic games.
The FA have made a huge investment in the women's game over the past few years, both with the international set-up and also the creation of the Super League which now encompasses two divisions, but some recent reports had suggested that they had become worried about a lack of tangible return from both.
From the point of view of Affordable Football, however, clubs at all levels (WSL & Premier League) and the FA have always strived to make the game as accessible as possible and they have featured often on these pages right from our first posts back in August 2013.
To see the England players in action for their clubs (and some of the other World Cup stars too) very rarely costs above £5 with lots of offers for families to attend games together and on season tickets too.
The 'product' for want of a better word has been there for a while now with the performances of England's women in Canada hopefully being the catalyst that was needed to get more people sampling it.
