England and Chelsea star backs introduction of away sections for WSL matches

Chelsea and England star Millie Bright has endorsed the introduction of away ends to Women's Super League fixtures, praising the impact such added intensity can bring to a competitive fixture.

Women's football has yet to ubiquitously experience allocated away sections in their grounds. Typically, away fans secure tickets by creating an account for the home club's website, but the nature of women's football has seen travelling supporters regularly mixing with rival fans without issue.

The noise around establishing designated away sections has been loud, particularly from the Manchester United and Chelsea corners, whose away contingents can be sizeable. Arsenal legend Ian Wright has also been a vocal campaigner, notably making an impassioned appeal after the success of Euro2022 for away ends to become regular fitments within the women's game.
