Amanda Staveley felt the need to give the Newcastle United Women's side a congratulatory message in the home dressing room at St James' Park after Sunday's 6-1 win over Bradford City Women. Instead, the Magpies co-owner got to share an impromptu dance or two with Becky Langley's players.
Newcastle Women romped to victory in front of a bumper 24,000-plus crowd at St James' Park to keep their title hopes alive, with Staveley and her husband Mehrdad Ghodoussi in attendance. The Ripon-born financier has always stressed the importance of growing the women's team and it is clear football fans in the north east have firmly bought into the idea.
Newcastle boss Langley has always praised Staveley for her consistent support and backing and the players clearly wanted to show their appreciation after the third win at the home of the men's side in little over a year.
