HISTORY<br />

We’re looking to break<br />

another record at Bramall<br />

Lane, and you can help by<br />

getting behind <strong>Sheffield</strong><br />

<strong>United</strong> Women this<br />

November.<br />

For the upcoming game<br />

against London City<br />

Lionesses on Sunday 20th<br />

November (1pm), <strong>United</strong><br />

are setting the challenge<br />

of breaking our own<br />

attendance record for a<br />

Women’s Championship<br />

fixture at Bramall Lane.<br />

Last season we saw an<br />

unbelievable response for<br />

our home game against<br />

Liverpool when 4,100 fans<br />

attended our historic home,<br />

and now we’re looking to<br />

go one better.<br />

This season <strong>Sheffield</strong><br />

<strong>United</strong> Women are playing<br />

all home fixtures in S2, with<br />

four successive crowds in<br />

excess of 1,000 already,<br />

as interest in the women’s<br />

game continues to grow<br />

following the successful<br />

European Championships.<br />

<strong>United</strong> Women boss Neil<br />

Redfearn said: “Playing at<br />

Bramall Lane this season<br />

has been special for<br />

everyone associated with<br />

<strong>Sheffield</strong> <strong>United</strong> Women,<br />

and now we have an<br />

opportunity to once again<br />

create some history.<br />

“The response to our<br />

fixture against Liverpool<br />

last season was incredible,<br />

and with the backing we<br />

have had already this<br />

season, we firmly believe<br />

achieving another record<br />

crowd is very possible.<br />

“The girls have been<br />

giving their all in a really<br />

tough and competitive<br />

Championship division<br />

this season, and having a<br />

strong home crowd behind<br />

them at a top facility has<br />

been a real boost.<br />

“To have a bumper<br />

crowd here at Bramall Lane<br />

would be huge, the extra<br />

support really does make a<br />

difference.”<br />

The club are providing<br />

tickets to local schools and<br />

sports clubs to encourage<br />

youngsters to get involved,<br />

with a number of matchday<br />

activities also being<br />

planned in order to make it<br />

a day to remember.<br />

Zoe Johnson, <strong>United</strong><br />

Women’s general manager,<br />

added: “It has been a<br />

phenomenal year for<br />

women’s football as we<br />

continue to build on the<br />

fantastic achievement of<br />

the Lionesses this summer.<br />

“Following the staging<br />

of games at Bramall<br />

Lane, including England’s<br />

victorious semi-final,<br />

we’ve seen a real upturn in<br />

interest in <strong>Sheffield</strong> <strong>United</strong><br />

Women, with significantly<br />

increased attendances<br />

here at Bramall Lane.<br />

“With this in mind, we’ve<br />

set a target of surpassing<br />

our record attendance<br />

against London City.<br />

“We aim to attract more<br />

supporters to our women’s<br />

team, and with the men’s<br />

side taking a break for<br />

the World Cup, we urge<br />

those who have yet to see<br />

our women’s team play to<br />

come down and see what<br />

we’re all about.”<br />
