LONDON (AP) The drive to raise women’s football attendance in England is taking on a more persuasive tone, almost obliging supporters of the men’s game to see the quality on offer.
The Women’s Super League campaign - “ a true fan supports their whole club ” - contributed to record attendances on Sunday as the post-World Cup boom continues in England.
“It’s quite edgy and a little bit sort of punchy,” Kelly Simmons, director of the women’s professional game in England, said at Tottenham which drew a WSL record crowd of 38,262 for the visit of Arsenal.
