Newcastle United Women's defender Freya Bailes hopes Sunday's bumper St James' Park crowd can help "drive" the Lady Magpies on to FA Cup success when they face off against Barnsley Women.
Over 25,000 supporters will be in the stands on Sunday afternoon to watch Becky Langley's side take on Barnsley Women at St James', a figure that trumps last season's attendance of 22,000 that saw the Lady Magpies best Alnwick Town Ladies 4-0.
So big was the attendance last season for the women's St James' Park appearance, the game against Alnwick had to be delayed to cope with the demand, queues and traffic jams ahead of the match.
