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 />
