WOMEN'S FOOTBALL MATCH ATTENDANCES ...what they reveal, the FA's strategy, and how the game is growing

With the season around a quarter of the way through, I thought I'd take a look at the attendance figures that have been made available, and analyse them to see what can be deduced from them.

Of the 34 Northern Premier Division League, and 32 Southern Premier Division League matches played up to and including the 29th September 2018, 5 match attendance figures remain undisclosed in the southern section, and 8 match attendance figures remain undisclosed in the northern section according to the official 'FA Full-Time League website'.

It's rather disturbing that from a total of 66 league matches played, 13 of those matches reveal nothing of the attendance figures. This in a time when the women's game is in the midst of its development. You could of course argue that it's more accurate to say  renaissance rather than development, when you consider that attendances reached 15,000 plus, over 100 years ago fairly frequently, despite the grossly unjust laws and obstacles that frowned upon the women's game so fiercely at the time. To my mind the FA are being rather lax here in not compelling each and every Club to disclose their attendances as a priority. The FA have after all placed so much importance and credence upon financial stability of all clubs in restructuring the leagues. How then are we to know what their stability is if attendances are not disclosed? It further makes me wonder that if the figures are undisclosed by 7.8% of the population as they are here, because the FA appear complacent in allowing such practice, then just how accurate are the figures that are disclosed? I say that because one such away match that I attended last season revealed an attendance of over 150, when I (as I always do) counted considerably less in the ground. That club of course will remain anonymous for legal reasons, but it nevertheless reveals to me that far sterner and more rigorous checks on disclosure and non-disclosure must be addressed. In Derby County's case regarding the record attendance of 2,109 at Pride park recently against Nottingham Forest of course, every seat filled was accompanied by a purchased ticket for auditing purposes as proof of that attendance figure. That said, I believe that some clubs have tended to almost second-guess the figures based on what the takings they see in the Tupperware container, together with whoever they arbitrarily consider to be added into the equation based upon a rather loose say-so. That has to change if the game is to move completely away from its grass-roots image and into the professional era that the game is now entering. It is imperative that the public have insightful access to these figures in full on the FA's official website.

So what can we glean from the figures that we have? Well the first thing to note is that of the 34 matches played in the northern section, 29 revealed their attendances. Those 29 matches totaled an overall attendance of 4,996 fans, which gives a mean average of 173 per match. Contrast those figures with the southern section, we see that 32 matches were played, 24 of which revealed their figures, totaling an overall attendance of 2,672 fans attending those games. That gives a mean average of 111 fans attending per game. So even allowing for the factoring in of the 8 southern section's undisclosed figure matches against the northern section's 5, the northern section's attendance figures are vastly outnumbering those of its counterparts in the southern section.

So what can be done to improve attendances?

As any Sales Manager worth their salt will tell you, to sell a product well, you first of all have to believe in the product you are selling. At Derby County Ladies Football Club, we are extremely fortunate to have a Chief Executive Officer (CEO): Duncan Gibb, who wholeheartedly believes in the women's game, the club he represents and the people within it. Duncan and I have not always seen eye-to-eye it must be said, but we share one common factor: passion. Me as a fan bleeding black and white. Him as Director of a football club. We both believe in our way forward never back, and I would further suggest that our ideas on ways forward are often very different. We do though share that passion for helping the women's game however we can. Being a fan running a supporters group though, as I am, lends itself in my case to expressing that little extra in a fashion that could be said to be somewhat unconventional at times. I see something that could do with tweaking or changing-up here and there, so I use my voice and means to suggest solutions as I see fit for the better. Not everyone agrees with me, but that's the beauty of football; everyone is entitled to an opinion.

One of the problems I see with women's football clubs are often that they set off brilliantly with their gleaming new websites , Facebook pages or Twitter accounts, and slowly but surely a pattern emerges whereby we see what appears to be lack of ambition to complete pages, or ongoing updates that need to be done such as Player Profiles, or Match and Twitter Reports. Often there can be several websites half completed or updated, and basically it all starts to look a little tired, rather than being kept on top of. Of course when that happens, you can't expect advertising to be brilliant either. Now marketing your product well surely has to be the most important way of reaching your target audience? If the customer doesn't get to see what's on offer you wont sell anything. It's common sense. So why then do some clubs not understand that the women's club has to become part of the bigger stage in order to boost attendances? You need to become part of the mother club you are named after in most cases, in order to expand the club you support or work for at our level. The difference with Derby County LFC is that our model starts from us being self financing through our vast volume of sponsorship/partnerships which not every club has. This is not to say that I don't recognise the plight of certain clubs that have taken sever hits for non footballing reasons, and suffered badly for it. I so do, and my heart goes out to them. I have been the first to campaign against the butchering manner in which the FA have gone about delivering change to the women's game, but that's for another day.

Over the last couple of years I have campaigned vigorously to think of ways in which Derby County Ladies FC can increase it's profile. One of my suggestions to the mother club, in our case Derby County FC, was to approach them and put it to them that DCLFC needed to have their own link which would direct users of the official men's website to the women's website, and that link needed to be installed on the mother club's website home page. I went along a good few times to DCFC meetings to put forward my case, and argue the case for women's football as a whole, stating that the days are gone when 90% of the fan base were male. You go to any match nowadays and around 45% are now female I would argue. If nothing else it would be disrespectful to virtually half your entire fan base to disregard the importance of their input into your club. More than that though, the mother club have almost totally embraced the women's arm of the club, and in doing so watched it flourish in the recent home league match played out at Pride Park Stadium, in which 2,109 fans cheered from the stands. What a fabulously historic occasion it was that day. But to get that amount of people through the turnstiles was not easy let me tell you. You can't force people to just turn up. You have to give their eyes and ears a reason to transfer a message to the brain saying "I'm having some of that." The work put in by DCFC, DCLFC, and volunteering fans was immense. An awful lot of planning and graft went into advertising the match in such a way as to attract new fans. Had they merely put out a regular couple of banners that most clubs routinely post prior to each match, there would probably have been a few hundred, but no more than that I would suggest. In fact as if to prove a point here, Celtic hosted Rangers the following week and attracted 200. Why? ...because they advertised the match just two hours before the game kicked off: scandalous buffoonery! We had a golden opportunity presented whereby the match fell on an international break, and the men's arm of both Forest and Derby had no league programme. Add to that, Derby County Ladies were playing at pride Park Stadium for their first ever league match and that it was against Nottingham Forest, our fiercest local rivals, and you had a perfect recipe for our previous record attendance to be smashed to smithereens. 

This of course prompted me to take a look at other match attendances. Indeed the match between Manchester City Women and Chelsea Women that day attracted less than 400 more that our game at 2,501, which tells you just what an achievement it really was. This season Derby County Ladies found themselves beating the attendances of an SPL men's league match as well as many other professional men's clubs including a league match between Accrington and Burton Albion 1,943, and Morecambe v Swindon Town 1,559. Indeed Hull City's Carabao Cup match v Derby County men's team attracted less than 4,500. In the women's game the Pride Park attendance was larger than Arsenal v Liverpool 1,173, Brighton v Bristol City 376, Reading v Yeavil 464, Albania v Scotland 700, N.Ireland v Slovakia 133, Rep Ireland v N.Ireland 1,603. Playing women's matches in big stadiums attracts big gates, but big stadiums alone are not the answer.

Growth can be a wonderful thing if done properly. In our case it's been about the long game. Our time is rapidly emerging now, and I want to see the same happen throughout our beautiful game. The main thrust of this exercise is to highlight where I feel women's football is at with its fan base and where I believe it can go given a few tweaks here and there that I alluded to earlier. Once everyone and not just the few recognise the power of social media advertising if done correctly, and website maintenance and appearance in order to attract sponsors wealth to the game. The better the game will be, and the greater the attendances will become. Most of it is simple. Don't just advertise on your own pages, share and post on as many groups pages as you can find on social media. Build relationships with other group administrators and keep everything bang up to date. Hard work as we all know pays off in the end. I know ours has.

One of the most surprising things though is that there are still extremely few clubs that adopt, accept, or promote the emergence of fan sites, supporters clubs or club fanzines. There still appears a reluctance and possibly even a suspicion in some quarters about embracing something that is so radically unusual within the women's game as an actual 'fan' site or social media fan page that follows the club and its players every move in the world of football. At first I also admit to getting one or two things wrong myself too. Over time though each and all do find an acceptable distance from which to run the show your end so to speak, without treading on the anyone's toes. After all I really don't wish to upset the very club that I worship so much do I? Now that really would be nuts if I was intending to do such a thing, and quite frankly counter productive. so what I'm suggesting here; or in fact know here through trial and error, is that when developed correctly, a good fan site, whether official or in my case unofficial, will create added value to the Club and help boost the fan base. Very often I notice that members or followers of the unofficial site are not found on the official site as they were picked up elsewhere. So it's important for me to advertise the official sites by way of posting many items of news as much as I possibly can in order to grow the numbers. This gives the fan greater access to different news items, and more importantly familiarises people with the club more. Two and a half years ago, I would wager that 99% of Derby County men's fans had never heard of any of the women players. That's certainly not the case any longer. Many of the players are indeed becoming familiar names throughout the Derby County world on social media. The more that DCLFC appear on the many social media sites, the more the regional media also pick-up on it, and you end up seeing far more coverage than you ever did before. Everything plays it's part, and fan sites most certainly play a big part, as they make the fans feel closer to the Club. They have far more choice of interaction just as in the men's game where many fans join many different sites when following their club. So it follows that they will feel a closer part of the Club. Women's clubs have for many years had the interactive part of their fan base as being relatives, players or players friends mostly. That's rapidly changing, and rightly so I would argue. There is always that subtle distance maintained between hero, legend, and fan in any walk of life, whether it be actors, singers or sporting heroes. The women's game is beginning to feel that same thing now at all levels, and it can only be healthy for the sport. 

You may not agree with much of what I say here. I really don't expect you to at all. After all it's human nature to want to form your own opinion. I do though hope that in some way this article gives you food for thought, and in some way stimulates ideas of your own about how best to grow the game. One thing's for sure though. Women's football is here to stay, and long may it do so. No matter how hard people attempt to catapult the chosen few to the top via non footballing means, in order to shadow the men's English Premier league, the game will eventually develop its very own identity, and become highly complementary to the men's game rather than a substitute for it. I understand the necessity of change, and how initially cruel change can appear or even be. I also foresee a time when women's matches will be attracting gates of 10,000 plus week in week out. It's highly, and I really do mean highly addictive stuff, and anyone who tells you any differently once you've got the taste is having a grin!

Bradford City 1-2 Sunderland

Sunderland 0-1 Fylde

Unbeaten Derby County will go within a point of the summit if they can overturn the early pacesetters Sunderland this Sunday. The Black Cats who lost their opening game of the season 0-1 at home to Fylde, probably partly due to the match being stopped for an hour to give urgent treatment to Centre Back Courtney Stewart for suspected diabetes, have since gone on to win all six league and cup encounters, scoring 21 goals and conceding only 5 in the process.

This will be not only be a blockbuster encounter due to both teams looking really strong in their play, placings and current form. It will be a historic match too as this will be the first time the two clubs have ever met in a competitive league match. The only other encounter was an FA Cup match 7 or 8 years ago when Derby lost on penalties following a 0-0 draw at full-time. Derby's current manager Samantha Griffiths indeed played in that match. Both teams avoided playing each other in 2009-2010 because the same season as Derby were promoted to the National League Northern Division (then the Premier League Northern Division), in season 2008-2009 from the Midland Combination League in which the Ewes were League Champions, Sunderland were League Champions of our current league, and were promoted to the next league up (the highest league at the time): Super League 1 as it's now known. There was no Championship sitting between the two divisions back then either.

It's going to be a fascinating match for sure, and one where the first to blink will probably concede I forecast. It's one of those matches where the biggest shock of the day would be a 0-0 draw. Both teams will have to be absolutely on top of their game on Sunday. Derby with their tight triangular short play love to play the ball on the ground and keep it moving as do Sunderland, yet both Managers are known to change it up to suit the opposition at times too. Derby's Sam Griffiths in her debut season as manager is clearly making big strides, and has hit the ground running. It's not easy to take a team virtually on their knees by the end of last season, scrapping to finish 7th, to a completely transformed squad of hungry spirited go-getters. That's exactly what Sam Griffiths has managed to do though. You only have to look through the key-hole to discover the abundance of banter, excitement and zest for the next match that this bunch of happy souls have about them. 

Sunderland have had slightly the more consistent team selections of the two clubs this season with 18 players used to Derby's 19, and 4 players staring all games to Derby's 3. Derby though have great strength in depth. You lose one, and another is there equally as good to take her place and try to stake a good claim for that shirt. That's something that has been missing for some time due to injuries and other reasons, and something that has been addressed to manager Sam Griffiths' credit. Despite taking an almighty knock-out blow of demotion through two divisions after finishing 7th in Super League 1 last season (14 points above Yeovil Town who still remain in the division), Black Cats manager Mel Reay has managed to forge a dangerous squad of players for their campaign this season. Several players from last season have remained at the club including the deadly Galloway, and Ramshaw, who took over from England World Cup stand-bye Lucy Staniforth (now Birmingham City WFC) as Captain. Stewart and McCatty have joined from Durham, and Beer has re-joined after taking time out of football temporarily.

I predict that we can expect to see a Sunderland team that will look to whip you on the break once a corner has been taken. They sit and wait for those little gems. They are extremely fit and fast with energy to burn, and often take many of their shots from just outside the box. They like to play the ball quick from the back flanks and have the ability to blast high trajectory powerful shots into top corners. Several key players to really watch are Emily Hutchinson, Bridget Galloway and Keira Ramshaw. Hutchinson and Galloway have 3 goals apiece while Ramshaw already has 8 to her credit. All three names appear with concerning regularity on the Club's match tweets, and between them have notched up an average of 2 goals between the three of them per match. To beat the Black Cats we will have to nullify Captain Ramshaw by hitting her hard but fair in the tackle, and get in her face at every opportunity. Do that and we have a good chance of taking all three points with our style of play. 

Manager Mel Reay has stated that she wants to see them keep that pill moving all the time, and that's exactly what they do with aplomb. They can play long balls without merely hoofing it and seem to know where each other is all the time. One of Derby's faults this season you may argue is that while our play is exceptionally fast and accurate with tricky ball control, the final pass has often gone astray because the receiver never read the pass accurately. I do though see big game players at Derby now and those are the very players who will ensure our victory this Sunday. I'll just leave it at that as I don't wish to give away too many clues. Walls have ears, and fans are super grasses when it comes to dobbing in the opposition. I know I am!

DERBY COUNTY LEGEND EMILY JEFFERY - TRIATHLETE

DERBY COUNTY LEGEND Emily Jeffery recently announced her retirement from the rigours of life as a footballer for the Club, following a serious Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear suffered during the home match against Fylde on the 19th March 2017, in which Derby ran out 5-0 victors. 

Such a bitter sweet day that began so well, ended with Jeffo landing quite innocuously following a straight forward header challenge in front of the main stand at Mickleover Sports Ground during the 41st minute of the match. This was followed by an immediate dramatic collapse of the right knee, leaving Derby's main-stay Centre Back reeling in absolute agony. The game was immediately halted and to Fylde's credit their physio team immediately ran to her aid to administer all the help and assistance they could. Jeffo was helped off at half time following lengthy treatment on the pitch. I recall her bravery shown throughout, but knew deep down that it was an extreme injury, having experienced something similar in a past life myself many years earlier. So it was to prove, and that was the last play the fans ever witnessed of the Club's most dependable rock in defence they had ever had. 

You may be forgiven for thinking that Emily, who had given no less than 14 seasons continuous service to the cause, from Academy to First team, could be moping around feeling lost and somewhat sorry for herself: think again.

Almost a year ago Jeffo underwent surgery on the ACL. Subsequently she did all she could to keep fit, by undertaking the full programme of exercise and rehabilition. Following many months of assessment, and agonising over her future, Jeffo finally took the decision to call it a day and hung-up her beloved boots that served her so well. Fortunately for Jeffo though, she's one of these people who are extremely popular, and for good reason. Far from mope about, Emily decided to take on another challenge, and boy what a challenge it was.

There aren't many who would dare to rise to the challenge of a triathlon. There are even fewer who would even think about such a feat following an injury such as an ACL. Then again not everyone has the endeavour and never say die attitude about themselves as this woman does. So while her ex-team mates were preparing for the match of their lives in a Derby County shirt to play a hugely historic game against Nottingham Forest in a league match at Pride Park Stadium last Sunday (9th September 2018), which attracted no less than 2,109 fans, Jeffo was preparing for the race of her life away from Pride Park on the exact same day in the PMA Racing - Derby Triathlon. An event now in its 27th year and one of the largest pool based triathlons in the East Midlands. 

An immensely proud Jeffo who finished 247th out of a field of 468, finishing the 37th woman and beating 74 men said: "I bloody did it!!! My first ever Triathlon... completed and I am feeling amazing. Just under a year since my operation and my god it felt good competing again! Hard work, determination and most of all belief can really get you wherever you want to get to!"

It takes a special kind of person to look after themselves in life for so long, especially these days surrounded by technology that offers more or less anything at the touch of a button. For so many it's give-up and gone. For this girl it's get-up and go... and as a certain man called Forest once said: "I just keep runnin!"

Hats off to you Jeffo. Take a 'bloody' bow girl!
