Newcastle United Women take on Bradford City Women at St James’ Park this weekend with hopes of a bumper crowd in attendance once again. This will be the third time the Lasses will have played at the stadium – the first since November – and there is optimism about attracting a crowd of 30,000.
Newcastle Women were victorious in their most recent trip to St James’ Park in a 2-1 victory in the Vitality Women’s FA Cup which saw a record-breaking attendance of 28,565. This broke their previous high of 22,134 against Alnwick Town Ladies back in May 2022.
For their third visit, Becky Langley’s side are hoping for another huge three points against the team in second-bottom to boost their promotion push. They are currently battling Durham Cestria for the title and, despite a six-point gap, have it in their own hands with four games remaining.
