Newcastle United co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi has urged the Toon Army to smash the record for the women's game at St James' Park.
The Magpies attracted a bumper crowd of 22,000 for the win over Alnwick and now with a new date set for a clash against Bradford the Toon director hopes that the Geordie public can beat the record for a league game in the UK of 47,367 for a game against Arsenal and Spurs at the Emirates Stadium.
Ghodoussi said today: "Let’s beat that 47k record!"
And United said: "Newcastle United Women have announced that the team’s second ever match at St. James' Park will take place on Sunday 27th November (kick-off 2pm GMT).
"Becky Langley's side will host Bradford City in the FA National Women’s League Division One North and will be aiming for another huge attendance after more than 22,000 fans watched their inaugural match at the stadium in May 2022.
"The fixture with Bradford City falls two weeks after the start of the Premier League’s break for the men’s FIFA World Cup in Qatar and will be the last chance for fans to watch live football at St James’ Park until the festive period."
The game takes place on Sunday, November 27, with no Premier League matches scheduled due to the World Cup. Langley said: “We are thrilled to be back at St James’ Park. "The support we received at the stadium in May was incredible, and we hope as many supporters as possible can come along in November to make it another very special occasion.
"We are very proud to be championing women’s football in the region and that our players are such fantastic role models.
"This is a great opportunity to showcase women’s football in the North East and we hope to continue inspiring a new generation of girls and women to play and enjoy the game."
