Shame about the gate, less than 800, I'd go if I was local.

I've watched bits and pieces on BBC/Sky and the standard is decent now compared to even a couple of years ago....its a shame, won't be easy attracting players in the future if the town don't support them.

800 is a decent crowd size (if the past few seasons are anything to go by, albeit at Wycombe)
It’s building

Why don't they put the fans in the East stand, rather than (it sounds like) the West? Then, when highlights are shown at least it will show that the Women are getting support.......

I'm sure they've moved them to the East Stand now. It looked that way from the coverage of Sunday's game and I'm sure people were being directed to the East Stand for ticket sales. Unfortunately I don't think there were that many people there and they also sounded less loud on the coverage due to being over that side.

I think the superb training and match day facilities will still be a big draw. Definitely right up there amongst the best in women's football in this country.

They have the same injury curse as the men. Bench full of inexperienced 17 year olds!

So utterly blatent. She took the back leg clearly. If the boot was on the other foot I guarantee that was given.
And what is it with these commentators. I feel like I'm watching the Chelsea channel.

Unbelievable result. I was clearly wrong about Kelly. She might have lost the plot earlier in the season but she did incredibly well to find it again! So pleased for her.

To be fair Siobhan Chamberlain said it was a clear penalty in her view.

Didn't get to the ground unfortunately but watched the game on Sky. Great defensive performance - did brilliantly to hold on there.

Brilliant result I don’t think I could remember the last time I was so excited watching a woman’s game. A wonderful goal by Rose, followed by a real determined backs to the wall performance. The men’s team could learn a lot from that. Well done Kelly Chambers and well done Reading ladies.

Brilliant defensive display that, really put their bodies on the line. Gemma Evans amazing well deserved POTM, thought both full backs were great as well. Real nail biter. Well done!
