Swelling in Leeds United Women’s crowds next season is the big hope the team have off the back of England’s Women’s Euro 2022 title. The country has been celebrating since Sunday after the national side defeated Germany at Wembley to keep the big prize in England.
After years of fighting for greater exposure and bigger crowds, the Lionesses have delivered the kind of championship and platform which could transform the women’s game. Leeds United Women will play in National League Division One North once again next term, and defender Rebekah Bass has opened up on just what the national success could do for the Whites.
“From Leeds United men, we get quite a lot of fans coming to watch us and we played at Elland Road a couple of months ago and the crowd we got then was brilliant,” she said. “For the guy fans coming to watch, they’re going to bring their kids, they’re going to come and enjoy themselves.
