It was more a comment in relation to 'family friendly'. Palace have a certain (and small) cohort of blokes that follow the women's team that don't really fit the usual profile.

Fair enough then, but there's been no media mention of any issues, even with thousands at Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs derby games.
The only kicking off that's likely to happen will be one side at the start of the 1st half and the other at the start of the 2nd.
And the only police kettle needed will be for their half-time teas and coffees.

Half of me thinks it would be prudent to do this. Prevention is better than cure and all that.
The other half of me wonders whether that might create or engineer a problem where one doesn't actually exist, for now at least.
Regardless, playing the Palace home fixture at the Amex would make any segregation much easier as well as boosting the attendance*.
* That is, if it's a weekend afternoon game and not one that's an evening fixture. Come on, Albion. Think this one through...

Bit harsh that implying no goals are ever scored. The games come a long way you know.

Well done to Elisabeth Terland who made the top 6 of the Women's Footballer of the Year from the Football Writers' Association.

Seeing as the other 5 (Shaw, James, Greenwood, Hasegawa and Keating) play for top 2 clubs, it's a significant achievement.
To be joint 2nd highest WSL scorer for a lower half side is impressive with half of Albion's 26 goals this season.
A player that has to stay at the club if Albion Women have any serious on-field aspirations for next year.

Not even surprised, she really had to be in there. Incredibly pivotal for the club. And Bunny Shaw is probably the most deserved winner possible, just dominant to an absurd degree.

What a stupid goal to concede!

FT: Albion Women 0 Aston Villa Women 1
"Rachel Daly goes down in the box as her shot is blocked, but the ball breaks to Lehmann who fires a low shot first time at goal.
The ball bobbles off the surface and through the dive of Melina Loeck on its way into the back of the net."
Having seen it back, that's a little generous from BBC Sport. In a tight game, it was a really soft decisive goal to concede.
5 home defeats in a row now for Albion Women. Terland's goals have papered over the defensive cracks.
