ScotsFootieFan Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Really looking forward to the new season. Bigger league and new format hopefully making the league more entertaining. Already some early good signing from clubs, which I reckon will make the league very competitive this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not heard this - but good news if true. I'd also expect all clubs to attract more interest given how well received the Euros have been. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lau03143 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Rangers moving to Broadwood this season and offering season tickets. Got myself and my daughter one, looking forward to this season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 That's Rangers officially announced the move to Broadwood for the season, citing improved capacity and parking. Also announced the sale of season tickets. Both good things, but leaving it until five days before the season starts isn't the best of looks. I've bought a Glasgow City season ticket for myself this year, they were the club that go me into women's football, so thought I'd give them some support. Should be an exciting season, with the split giving us hopefully loads of meaningful games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScotsFootieFan Posted August 2, 2022 Author Share Posted August 2, 2022 I'm glad they have moved. I'm really excited about the season ahead and also hoping City and Rangers progress in the Champions League too. I'm really impressed by some of the signing teams have made so far this summer. I'm also a City season ticket holder and will be there for most games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lau03143 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Rangers announced Kathryn Hill as captain after Brianna Westrup departure. I am sure she will be a great captain as is a big supporter of the club, but I am a bit surprised at that, Nicola Doherty was vice-captain last year, so thought she might have been given the armband considering she was consistently a high performer.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, I was a bit surprised to see that announcement, but judging by social media, all the Rangers players adore Hill. My City season ticket arrived today, really looking forward to the season kicking off on Sunday. Think it'll inevitably be between the three full time teams for the title and Champions League place. Feel Celtic will be closer to Rangers and City this year, and also think City will be a wounded dog after losing out on the title for the first time in 15 years. Should be an excellent season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Glasgow City 7-0 Spartans Women City in menacing form to start the season. A hat trick from Clare Shine the highlight, great to see her back to her best, a true inspiration on and off the pitch. Obviously it'll come down to the games against Rangers and Celtic in the end, but a marker laid down as City look to regain The SWPL title. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig fae the Vale Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I don't think anyone saw Hibs getting pumped 9-0 coming. To think where they were just a couple of years ago. Looks like it'll be a three way fight for the title between the big three Glasgow clubs. Games between them should be electric. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArabianKnight Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Took in the United Motherwell game today. I've no idea of the standard outwith the Glasgow clubs but United certainly matched Motherwell. Well seemed a bit more savvy/Street wise and certainly pressured the ref more than I've ever seen at a women's football match. Overall a good game to watch, nice to see a decent crowd as well, 174 in today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be at Petershill for Glasgow City v Spartans, anyone else looking at taking in a game on opening day? I was at the Rangers game for the 1st game on my season ticket with my daughter. Fantastic attendance of 720 for the game, I was expecting maybe 300 tops, so to have double my expectation was incredible. In terms of the game itself, it went the way I thought it would. It's something that expanding the league would bring, with a professional team against amateurs, it wasn't a credible game (which is not me criticizing the Glasgow players). Standout player was Maclean for Rangers, almost everything went through her, and was a fantastic performance. On the other games, I was expecting both City and Celtic wins, but Celtic hammering Hibs like that was not expected. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig fae the Vale Posted August 11, 2022 Share Posted August 11, 2022 Can I just say how wonderful it is that we have professional teams in Scotland now. Had a conversation this morning with someone involved in the game. She mentioned that Jo Love once missed an away Champions League game because she didn't have enough annual leave to go, having used it all up to go on international duty with Scotland. It's definitely a good thing that that sort of thing shouldn't be happening again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's definitely a good thing that that sort of thing shouldn't be happening again. It's fantastic, and proof for me against the naysayers... if you give minority sports, or the like a platform and room to grow, then people will engage. The growth of the women's game in general and looking at Scotland in particular, it's a massive upward trend. If you think in just about three years, Rangers have went from crowds of about 30 at New Tinto Park (where it was hit or miss them even taking gate money) to 720 at Broadwood, it's incredible. First picture is from Sunday there, other one was against Hibs in early 2019. Such a growth area, and something the top premiership teams should start embracing more Edited August 12, 2022 by lau03143 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
