Keep An Eye Out For...

Women's Football Weekend which takes place this coming Saturday and Sunday.

Typing the above into Twitter is proving fruitful already in terms of finding matches, not just the headline acts such as Liverpool against Everton at Anfield or Spurs versus Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but games up and down the country at all levels.

For instance, Kent Football United have a local derby against Gillingham Ladies in the Kent Cup on Sunday at 3pm and are offering free entry to all supporters to their ground in Dartford in a bid to beat the club record attendance of 287.

Durham Women FC of the FA Championship are always very proactive in trying to engage and grow their supporter base and are offering half-price admission on Sunday (12pm v London Bees) to anyone with a season ticket, matchday programme or matchday ticket from any North East club.

Also something to keep an eye out for is the upcoming FA Youth Cup third round fixtures which are due to be played by 14th December.

These offer a good opportunity to catch a match at one of the big grounds for just a few pounds.

Premier League teams drawn at home include Sheffield United, Norwich City, Wolves, Tottenham and West Ham although not all clubs will play on their 'home' soil at this stage, Chelsea for instance will take their tie to Aldershot or Kingsmeadow).
