Championship: United Women vs Aston Villa | 5-0 and United are promoted!

Fantastic to see the women's team! Great we finally have a team and can't wait to start following them more closely, tremendous.
 
Ooh dear. Keeper gets a red for handball outside the area. Not Villa's night.

A pretty safe bet we get promoted tonight.
 
They don't have a spare goalie.

Brutal stuff really. No keeper, no plan for a backup, no communication from the bench. If Toone's shot from the freekick (after the keeper got the red card) had gone on target rather than hit the post, it really would have been painful to watch.
 
And we're up!

United win 5-0, to guarantee a top two finish and that means we'll play in WSL1 next year.
 
Congrats to our ladies!
 
Well that's the only time I have ever seen a crowd applaud a keeper leaving the pitch after being sent off.

We were jeering and cheering and she just dissolved into tears and was a bit overcome...crowd went "ahhh" and started applauding her. Well at least she didn't concede 12 this time.
 
Get in! Well done ladies. United belong to the top. Wherever we compete.
 
Congratulations to the United ladies, they've done it in style.

I'm surprised by the lack of coverage on the BBC they've received over the season. I guess they concentrate on the top league. I'm aware of the very recent article posted in this thread.
 
Congratulations!!!

How easy is it to get a ticket to see the ladies play?
You can pay on the door no problem. For the biggest games that might mean you don't get a seat in the main stand, but that is rare.

Season tickets are a good deal, the only reason I don't buy one has been the games have moved about a bit.

The contract with Leigh Sports Village is being evaluated though so that may change.
 
I don't post much but I wanted to congratulate them on this brilliant achievement!! Their future looks bright!
