Ben and Ellen are joined by football journalist Tom Garry to discuss the return of the WSL. With kick-off schedules changing this season, they consider the best match times for women’s football supporters. They also examine whether Sunday evening fixtures are a good choice and which audiences they are designed to attract.
Elsewhere, London City Lionesses made an impressive start with several internationally renowned players in their squad, although their starting XI did not include any English players.
Tom and Ellen explore what this could mean for football in England and the long-term development of the women’s game. They also ask whether the league should provide greater support and opportunities for homegrown talent.
In addition, an investigation has been launched after Crystal Palace used four substitution windows during their 1-0 victory over Everton, potentially breaching competition rules.
