First game against Brighton was a sell outYeah we usually have only 4500. Right.
47k attendance to Arse Spurs womens match at Emirates…wow. Makes a mockery of their usual 4500 max home ground
Beside the point. Fact is 47k paid $14 to watch is a decent turn up.You can buy a ticket for £8, or £4 for kids. And it was a nice sunny day. It will be interesting to see how many turn up if they have to pay a realistic price on a cold, rainy night in Stoke.

so clubs can survive charging that much to get in. huhYou can buy a ticket for £8, or £4 for kids. And it was a nice sunny day. It will be interesting to see how many turn up if they have to pay a realistic price on a cold, rainy night in Stoke.

Just simply said 47k was excellent attendance as was the 27k to Liverpool derby. BBC along with Sky last year bought rights to televise the league for three years. I suppose the increasing value of tv deals shows how much it’s growingNo doubt there's some interest but it is being heavily promoted by media and attendances boosted by cheap tickets.
Right now I'm looking at the BBC football home page giving prominence to the women's games Chelsea v Man City, West Ham v Man U, Brighton v Reading. All of which had lower attendances than some games in the National League ie men's 5th tier. The Championship and Scottish Premier League get a lower profile on the BBC than WSL despite much greater interest.
At £8 for adults or £4 for kids on a nice sunny day it's a cheap day out for a family. And with a 47k crowd at average £6 Arsenal may have broken even. But the previous game against Reading had a crowd of 3k which is more in line with the WSL average. Generally, the WSL teams run at a loss subsidised by their associated men's teams.
