Enjoy the occasion! It will be a very tough match to get through, and hopefully, we make a match of it and not too one sided.
Chelsea beat Lyon in Lyon yesterday Champions League Quarter final.
But there are some quality players at Villa Women at the moment who can certainly make us competitive.

It's a great progression, whatever happens, as it's all about improvement and becoming consistently competitive.

And for the love of football itself it's fantastic to have our club in the semi finals and it helps gain further interest and excitement for women in sport and inspires those watching.

Will it take an FA Cup win for Aston Villa Women to get their own pinned thread?

And there's going to come the time when Villa Women players will be having their own threads on here so lets embrace. I think there is going to be much as interest in women's and men's football as years go on and it's here to stay.

The site have unpinned other threads which had been pinned for years because they hang around at the top. Although as we do have the reserves and others pinned, I don't see why we shouldn't.

[Risso]

I say create a separate section on H&V for the women's team. Then people interested in it can have all the threads they want. Although going by a lot of the match threads, it'll be fairly quiet.

Just bought three tickets for tomorrow. I noticed they've opened the Holte for this. Only my old championship protest home of L9 it may be, but still, more encouraging signs on the sales front.

[Grocer]

Might be a stupid question, but are there many (any) villa fans in the Bartons before the women's games? Going with my teenage daughter and my wife tomorrow. First visit to Villa Park for my daughter and first since about 2004 for the wife. Would like to pop to the Barton's pre-match to show them my normal routine (I.e. I'd like a decent beer before the game), plus my wife loved the Barton's when we went there years ago.

I’ve received notification that 50,000 tickets are already sold for the women’s FA Cup final. They say they are selling fast and to get one now before it’s too late.
Any ideas on ticketing for this because it’s seems a bit weird frankly?
I think there obviously won’t be as much interest as there might be for a men’s final, but still that a fair few would want to go if we made it. With selling tickets to all and sundry before we even know who will be playing, what’s the allocation like for the teams who make it?

A quick Google and for last year Man City said they had 5,187. Chelsea didn't say how many but had this image showing when they had sold out, which i'm guessing is the same amount.

Agreed

Of course , it’s no big deal about whether a thread is stickied or not. It’s an internet message board for gods sake.
But I don’t understand why anyone is opposed by the women’s team thread being stickied?
The youth team thread is…..there are 25 pages of posts since June 2022.
The women’s thread, started the same the same time has 47 pages of posts.
Seems to me there is more interest in the women’s game than the youth and reserves.

It can’t possibly be that women’s football is somehow less important…..can it?

For most people it is less important.

It's not a hill I'd die on, but I'd think either both the women's & reserves threads should be pinned, or neither. They seem to garner around the same level of interest whichever way you look at it, and be in a similar sort of area (single thread for discussing an entire team, other than the senior men's side).

Agree with this, plus I'd say there are more people watching/checking the results of the women's games than the academy's.

1-0, Dali with the run and goal fired in from the edge of the box. Coming after a brilliant save from Hampton.
