Fir's Fair

Fir Park, home of Motherwell FC, will host this season's Scottish Women's Premier League Cup final (currently known as the Sky Sports Cup) with Hibernian and Rangers meeting on Saturday 22 March at 3pm.

Tickets are on sale for the game, priced at £10 adults, £4 concessions and £25 for a family (2 adults, 2 children) and fans of all clubs and women's football in general are encouraged to attend. 

Before then, Scotland Women host the Netherlands at Hampden Park in a Nations League fixture on Tuesday 25 February at 7.30pm.

Tickets are £10 for adults and seniors with kids going free.

Bouncing Bescot

Good times at Walsall as the Saddlers are racing clear at the top of League Two on the back of nine consecutive league victories.

The February game against Gillingham on the 11th has been designated as Tenner Tuesday with tickets priced at £10 for adults, £5 for concessions and £1 for under-12's.

Also at the Bescot Stadium next month, England Women's U23s take on Germany on Thursday 20th (7.30pm) for which tickets are £5/£3 and £1.

Early For England

I was mulling over an article on prices to watch England at Wembley when I noticed, via the England Football website that an early-bird offer has been put in place for the second of March's Wembley World Cup qualifier, the game against Latvia on Monday 24th.

Tickets, which go on general sale on 28 January, are now priced at £40/£30 for adults (with a £10 discount for concessions available) and £20/£10 for adults and under 16's in the family enclosure section which, looking at the ticket map will be available in around half of the Level 5 area of Wembley.

Given that England host Albania on the Friday before, it is a wise move from the FA as a Monday night in term time against Latvia is a difficult sell.

I don't think it changes the case for such a game to have been played at a different stadium, in another part of the country, and it doesn't change the practicaility or cost of getting to and from Wembley if you live more than a certain distance away, but is worth highlighting as an offer.

Updated 21 January: England Women's U23's have two matches lined up in February, against Germany on the 20th at Walsall FC and against France on the 25th at Stevenage FC. Tickets for each game are priced at £5 adults, £3 concessions and £1 for under 12's.

Red(ditch) Monday

This coming Monday, 20th January, is considered to be the 'bluest' day of the year, as Christmas recedes from memory, but if you fancy getting out to a game then there is football for a fiver at Redditch United when they host Leamington in the third round of the Birmingham Senior Cup with under 13's admission being free.

There are also a couple of Premier League International Cup matches at main stadiums next week.

Reading host Valencia on Tuesday 21st, tickets priced from £1-£4 and the following evening it is Sunderland versus Benfica at 7pm, tickets for non-season ticket holders costing £3/£1.

Not Many More Goodison Nights

Nearly 39,000 were in attendance at Goodison Park on a freezing Thursday night, watching Everton eventually see off Peterborough United in the FA Cup and also taking one of the dwindling chances to take in a game under the lights at the famous old stadium.

James Nalton had a nice piece on Goodison in Friday's Morning Star and there is a good chance to take in the surroundings on Tuesday 21 January when Everton U18s take on Wolves in the fourth round of the FA Youth Cup.

Admission to the game is priced at £5 adults and £3 for concessions, cash on the turnstiles as well!

Before then, Stoke City are offering free entry to their FA Youth Cup fixture against West Brom this coming Tuesday, 14 January, at 7pm.

Warm Up With Football For A Fiver

One of my favourite grounds for an old-fashioned football experience, Altrincham FC's Moss Lane plays host to the National League clash between the Robins and Maidenhead United on Tuesday 14 January.

Tickets for the game have been reduced to just £5 and £1 for under-12's.

Also in the National League, Wealdstone FC have designated their home game against Hartlepool United on Saturday 18 January as supporting Her Game Too, dedicated to creating a more inclusive environment within football.

Tickets for girls aged under 19 are available free of charge and are priced at £5 for women aged 19 and over.
