Affordable Football Update

A quick update on some of the pieces that have been posted on the blog in the past few weeks.

Bath City celebrated their annual Community Day in good style on Saturday afternoon with a crowd of 1,108,the highest for a league fixture since March 2014, coming through the gates of Twerton Park.

It was 'Pay What You Want' admission to the game as The Romans also marked reaching the £300,000 figure needed to trigger community ownership of the club.

England's Under-20's have two wins from two in the FA-hosted 4-team tournament currently taking place and the youngsters will round off the competition against the USA at Rochdale's Spotland on Monday evening, kick-off 7pm.

Tickets are priced at £3 Adults and £1.50 Concessions.

A huge attendance of 4,114 took advantage of free entry to Eastleigh FC's National League home clash against Maidstone United on Tuesday evening and the vast majority went home happy after a 3-0 victory for the home side. 

Prices for the Spitfires FA Cup tie against North Leigh this coming Saturday have been reduced to £10 Adults and £5 for Concessions.

There were mixed fortunes for British clubs in the UEFA Women's Champions League this week. Hibernian and Chelsea were well beaten in their home ties (2,551 at Easter Road as Hibs played Bayern Munich) while FA WSL champions Manchester City take a two-goal lead to Russia for their second-leg tie.

Glasgow City's narrow 1-0 defeat in Sweden sets up the second-leg against Eskilstuna nicely. The game will be played at the Excelsior Stadium in Airdrie this Thursday at 7:45pm, tickets are priced at £10 and £5.
