October’s Affordable Football

A first look ahead to what is coming up next month...

It is a busy time in the Women’s game as the FA WSL season approaches its finale and there is also the Champions League and Continental Cup Final to look forward to.

In the Champions League, Glasgow City have been drawn against Eskilstuna United of Sweden with the Scottish champions at home in the second leg. This will take place at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie on Thursday 13th October at 7:45pm with tickets priced at £10 Adults and £5 U16's.

I haven’t seen ticket details yet for Hibs Ladies against Bayern Munich or Chelsea versus Wolfsburg but the home legs of these ties will be played at Easter Road and Stamford Bridge respectively.

Manchester City are making their debut in the competition and are likely to be heading into their tie against Zvezda Perm of Russia as the new WSL champions. City have been drawn at home in the first leg which will take place at their Academy Stadium on Thursday 6 October at 7pm.

The Academy Stadium will also host the Continental Cup final between City and Birmingham City Ladies on Sunday 2 October at 2pm. Tickets are priced at £7 Adults, £3 Concessions

Manchester United Under-23’s are in action twice at Leigh Sports Village in October, against Liverpool on Tuesday 18th and Arsenal on Monday 24th, both at 7pm. Admission to all United matches at LSV is free of charge, simply register your details on the website.

'Football for a Fiver' is back at Charlton Athletic for 2016/17 and this season's fixture is the home match against Rochdale on Saturday 1 October. £1 of the £5 ticket cost will go to the Charlton Athletic Community Trust.

I've added a 'Coming Up' tab to the top of the page which I will update regularly with matches that may be of interest and dates for the diary.
