Newcastle United Women set to break Barclays Women's Championship attendance record | OneFootball

The first meeting between the sides at the Stadium of Light in October - which ended in a 2-1 win for the Magpies - drew 15,387 spectators, but the reverse fixture on Tyneside on Sunday, 23rd March is now set to surpass that with ticket sales having reached 16,000 with over six weeks still to go.

Becky Langley's United side, who are in the hunt for a third successive promotion as they bid to reach to reach the Barclays Women's Super League, have attracted huge crowds to their fixtures at St. James' Park in recent seasons during their rise from the fourth tier.

In May 2022, a crowd of 22,134 were there to see the Lasses beat Alnwick Town 4-0 in their first-ever game at the stadium, before a total of 28,565 came to watch the Magpies' 2-1 win over Barnsley in the Adobe Women's FA Cup in November that year - the biggest attendance outside of a final the competition had seen.

They have broken records at Kingston Park too, with 7,382 taking in United's 10-0 win over Huddersfield Town in May 2024 as Langley's team sealed the FA Women's National League Northern Premier Division title on the final day of the campaign.
