A picture of the fairly basic stand at the Olympic Legacy Park in Sheffield, home of Sheffield United Women during their first season in the second-tier of the women's game in England.
The FA Women's Championship has generated plenty of interest this season, mainly due to the presence of the new Manchester United team who have duly done what was expected of them by topping the table and taking a place in next season's Super League (WSL).
It's hard to escape the conclusion that those in charge have got the outcome they want with United going up and Yeovil Town Ladies dropping out of WSL (Tottenham are also going up to create a 12-team league next season) and the traditionalist in me does have some difficulty with things effectively being engineered in this way.
But hopefully now the preferred structure of the game is in place there will still be a chance for smaller clubs to punch above their weight and gain promotion in the traditional manner.
Durham Women FC perhaps fit that bill as they are set to finish third in the Championship this year and will hope to go one better in 2019/20 for which early-bird season tickets are priced at £50 Adults and £15 for Concessions.
Plans are in place, meanwhile, to develop the Olympic Legacy Park as a fitting permanent home for the Blades who will be playing their final game of the current campaign at Bramall Lane this coming Saturday, 11 May at 5.30pm, against Millwall with all tickets costing just £1.
