The first ever Women's Football Weekend is scheduled for 16/17 November and the showpiece events will be two FA WSL local derby fixtures set to be played in front of big crowds.
Spurs meet Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 17th at 3pm and tickets are now on general sale, priced at £6.50 for Adults, £3.50 for Concessions and £15 for a family of four.
And Anfield will be the venue for Liverpool against Everton at the same time with tickets £5 for Adults and free for up to 3 accompanied Under 16's.
It's great to see the full weight of the respective home clubs' ticketing and marketing teams being thrown into these fixtures and I'm sure they will be well attended.
Such games, unavoidably perhaps, have the feel of 'one-offs' with many of those watching maybe unaware of the context in terms of league position.
But the bigger picture will be the many thousands enjoying the occasion and hopefully seeking out opportunities to play and watch elsewhere.
And the Women's Football Weekend will be about much more than matches in the WSL as hopefully clubs up and down the country will be able to attract some new faces along.
I'll highlight as many games as I can on Twitter.
