Don't know how many women season ticket holders there are but the Wembley allocation is 12,000 per club as the neutral tickets have already sold out for the final . Would assume they will get well over 10,000 for the semi so doubt there will be enough Wembley tickets to go round for everyone.

Yep, will be interesting to see how they prioritise if we get there. Very much assume women's ST holders first, but there aren't many of them. A relatively fair structure might be doing 1) Women's ST holders, 2) Anyone who's bought a ticket to Brisbane Road or an away game this season (this group is small enough to also be guarenteed a ticket), 3) Anyone who's bought a ticket for the semi-final or the WHL game against West Ham, 4) If there's still any tickets left, men's ST holders

On a different note, the Leicester manager is currently in severe hot water and making the national news because of an allegation he's in a relationship with one of his players.

Thankfully, it wouldn't be at all like Spurs to lose a huge game to a club in crisis...!

I don't think you can compare us to Arsenal to be honest. They invested in and promoted women's football for literally decades before we, or anyone else in England, made any effort. They've been playing games at the Emirates since 2011 and support for the women's game has been embedded in the club and fanbase long-term. As well as bringing a generation of Arsenal fans into the women's game, they also picked up a lot of female fans in particular who support Arsenal in women's football even if they have a different men's team, because their own club either didn't really care or didn't have a team at all. And if you were a woman in London who wanted to get into football and didn't have any pre-existing loyalties, Arsenal was just about the only choice. Meanwhile, as recently as 2017, we were a third-tier side with zero investment and virtually zero fans at a bog-standard non-league ground out in Cheshunt. It's going to take a long time to organically grow that kind of fanbase, especially as a lot of the low-hanging fruit has already been picked and won't suddenly switch teams just because we care now. You can't just match Arsenal's pricing without putting in the decades of work they did and expcet to get the same outcome. It *might* be a okay for a cup semi-final, it isn't a sound strategy for run-of-the-mill league games.

True, Arsenal are on a different level but Spurs Women are a professional business and have to be paid for and who pays , the fans :)

In the last published accounts up to 2022 , TH Women FC Ltd made a loss £1.4 million and had a wage bill of £1.7 million, the semi will be the biggest match in their history so not surprised at the £15 .

Trying to turn a profit out of the women's team in the short or medium term would be ludicrously short-sighted. The aim has to be investing an amount, which is ultimately peanuts to us as a club, in the hopes of building it to the point where hopefully one day it can regularly sell-out WHL and compete for titles.

Anyone going to Sunday’s game? I’m probably taking the family plus a couple and wondering if you can pay at the door at Orient.

I laugh because it reminds me of Zagreb and if I don't laugh at it I'll cry.

But a manager/player relationship gives me a big ick as well. That really shouldn't be happening, that can't be good in a performance environment.

Yep, the dynamic makes it seriously wrong in my view, it's always very fraught at best having a sexual/romantic relationship with someone you materially hold power over.

Today is the warm up for the semi-final. We take on Leicester at Brisbane Rd, 2pm kick-off, free to watch on FA Player or get yourself down to the stadium and get behind this team. Tickets on the gate.

I'm hoping for the ladies to make a statement today, more confidence going forward and far less playing backwards. They really need to believe in themselves and set their stall out for the semi.
England gets the start over Thomas imo, Graham starts in place of Ahtinen. That's the only changes to the starting line up I would like to see.

COYSW!!

Well it wasn’t a statement win but part of me prefers it in a weird way before the big game. I felt a bit like if we’d smashed them then it might have made them take their foot off the gas a bit for the semi final, even if it’s just subconsciously.
Maybe this game was just us pretending it was hard and then we’ll make it easy in the semi final 😂

Our midfield is very sloppy and inconsistent at the moment which is frustrating.

Anybody have any intel on whether members will be allowed to buy extra tickets when this goes on sale, or we have to wait to buy more in general sale? My wife is going to come, but she isn't a One Hotspur member.

Pretty sure they will be on general sale after the initial offer to ST's and members and very much doubt they will sell out, sign up for ticket news when it is released.

I'm a season ticket holder and we were allowed to purchase an additional ticket.

Yeah they'll just get sent out to you via email so they don't need to be assigned to anyone like a mens game.

Absolutely woeful finishing. That should of been an easy 3 or 4 goal victory.

3 points but, no where near good enough.
