The girls in green gunning for glory on Wembley stage
It’s an attendance which will comfortably break the record set at last year’s final when 35,271 watched a Manchester City side, which contained Irish international Megan Campbell, beat Birmingham 4-1.
Previous years had occasionally seen big crowds turn up for the showpiece game, including 24,582 at Nottingham Forest’s City Ground in 2008, but attendances then began to fall away, hitting a low of under 5,000 at Doncaster’s Deepmoat Stadium just five years ago for a game which saw Arsenal beat Bristol Academy 3-0.
