Opening game of the season.
It's at Villa Park and I'm hearing there will be a record crowd in excess 10k.
If you want to get along, only £12 adults and £6 kids. Man U will be slight favourites so unlike most the mens home games it probably won't be over by half time,

Aston Villa may only be three years into their Women's Super League journey but they are already intent on closing the gap to the top four - and they are using the transfer market to do it.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United have been the dominant teams in the WSL for several years but Villa, finishing fifth last season, have plans to change that.
BBC Sport takes a look at how Villa, who host United in their season opener on Sunday (12:30 BST), have successfully climbed their way up the table.

Taking my 4 year old today for first visit to Villa Park
Any recommendation for safe parking relatively close to ground?
-
Heart Club - parked there yesterday with my 4 year old. Just check its open!

Have the bbc got rights for most of the season? I’ll try and keep up if so. Like the look of our keeper.

Can we move van Domselaar to Men's team as Emi's number 2?
-
Villa's Hanson sent off.
-
And then we score!!!!!!!!!
-
Get in !!!
Great goal Rach.
-
Ignore the body check, ignore the penalty, no hesitation for the red. Same old Man U.
-
1-1. Booo.
-
A lead thrown away against Man U thanks to wank defending. Same old Villa.
-
Interesting to find that the Manc red women are as easy to despise as the Manc red men.
-
Just turned on. Nice to see the commentator wanking off Man U as per.
-
Shit.
-
Urgh
-
Same old Villa v Man Utd.
-
Really poor goal to concede at any time, let alone the last minute
-
Must admit I didn't know that the BBC streamed MUTV.
-
Shouldn't have sat back at 1-1
-
FT 1-2.

I’m not a fan of VAR but if it was available today, United would have had a player sent off and I’m sure we would have had a penalty. Otherwise I thought we were great today, I particularly thought Lucy Parker was excellent for us.
-
Interesting refereeing, couldn’t wait to send Hanson off but not as harsh on them….where have we seen that before.
Liked the new signings, all did well - right back was poor in last 10 mins
Good crowd

12,533

Recommend a trip to see the ladies. Highly enjoyable save the result.
My lad's first trip - he likes his new beanie

I'm just finishing watching it back now. Should've been a penalty for the legging-up of Daly, but the check on Salmon, right in front of the ref, what the actual??
We played well for some periods, not so well in others. Fine margins for both their goals. Parker will be a force behind Dali. Thought we were a bit too stretched out, particularly early on when we had what seemed a front four.
Still, glad that's out the way. Men, women, playing those ****** is rarely enjoyable.

Yes, it was a strange experience to watch their women's team (who aren't bad, btw) to remember why you've hated that club for most of your lifetime.
