hi coach! glad you could join us again 🙂 maybe you can blog about the team every once in a while? or you can also ask one of the girls to talk about their experience on the NT 🙂
nonetheless, much luck and love to the whole team!!!! i actually can’t wait for May to come already haha. any idea if there will be live broadcasts of any sort of the games?
They have broken the 10,000 barrier before, last year’s attendance Arsenal v Bristol had 13,885 and the year before that Everton v Arsenal had an impressive 17,505. The highest attendance for this competition that I know is the 2008 one Arsenal v Leeds with 24, 582. Not sure why the attendances are decreasing recently, maybe down to what teams make the final or could be location?
Few controversial decisions in today’s game, Chelsea with penalty shout, Birmingham with goal disallowed (offside) that should not have been, and Carney’s free-kick
Chelsea just could not hold on to their lead! Bit unfortunate the Birmingham free-kick was allowed to be taken while Chelsea were still organising wall but it was fantastic placed goal by Carney
