Uefa Women's Euro 2022 at Bramall Lane

[FMBlade1]

Just seen that we are hosting some of the matches, probably was announced ages ago but didn't see it or a thread on it so thought it deserved one:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58655047

It's good that we're featured as a venue, I was going to go to the Rugby League World Cup matches until it was postponed so clearly a smart club strategy.

Hopefully we get a fair few attending and supporting the event

 

[Classof85]

TBF i will probably try and get to the games at the lane, Why not its some football to watch

 

[NuddysGloves]

I've bought tickets for the semi final, Lionesses are a strong side so should reach at least the semi finals at which point it's a 50/50 chance as to whether they'd be at The Lane.

 

[CrookesBlade]

Hopefully will be taking my daughter to one of the games, kick off times dependant.

How did you manage that? I've created an account on the UEFA website and it says "No tickets currently available."

bought them a while ago, like a few months back, can't imagine they've sold out though!?

All temporary, but it'll be interesting to see what a quick 'modernisation' will look like.

 

[Grecian2000]

Pitch lengthened?
Kop goal to be on Row D.

Ironically, Burke could've done with this. Not sure we'd have gotten away with making the goals twice as wide too though

Pitches and goals should be smaller for the women's game, to make it a bit more competitive.

Well i'm going!

They were on sale months ago it was well publicised at the ground during match day, in the programme etc.

 

[Jon Bon II]

The thing I like best about the women's game, is that they don't go mouthing off at the referee all the time. If he makes a decision earlier doors that they don't like, he just gets the silent treatment for the rest of the game. Pukka!

 

[Bladesthorpe]

It's crap, sadly a million miles behind the men's game. Don't get me started about the goalkeepers!

 

[Ricardo Mantelban]

It would be interesting to see what level of mens football they could compete against.

That’s interesting that the dressing rooms get a permanent upgrade and it would be nice to know in more detail what the power and tech upgrades will be.

It is good for the city that’s we’ve got the games and the fan marches sound like a good idea.

In one tournament warm up the USA team, then regarded as the best team in the world, were beaten by 15 year old lads.

u8s, maybe?

I'd imagine it's possibly a screen/area to separate the players from any male coaches while getting ready? So not really something we need.

 

[blackydog]

Apparently going o be road closures due to Euros too. Can't find details though.

Maybe says they’ve also done some cosmetic work even if it’s just a lick of paint then fair enough but maybe they’ve got new lockers and stuff as well

 

[torridon]

My 15 yr old daughter plays football and wanted to go. I bought tickets last year via the UEFA website, got them for all 3 group games to be played at the Lane plus the semi final, also got tickets for the Final at Wembley on 31st July.

Apparently Shoreham St, Bramall Lane both closed on day of matches 12 mid day- 12 midnight !

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Doubt anything that us fans will notice but further goes to show what the cities main sporting venue is. England u21 game and rugby league world cup venue too.

Euro 2030 probably has enough stadiums but if they give some games to Sheffield there's only one that's got modern facilities media need

 

[Linz]

Just gone past on 18 bus. There's a sign underneath the sign saying closure times will depend on kick off.

They're just popping all the branding on the ground now.

 

[alehousekid]

Yep, seems it's been amended:

 

[Ginger Gnome]

Can somebody pop round with a black marker and stick an apostrophe in women's

 

[Snowflake]

Can somebody pop round with a black marker and stick an apostrophe in women's

Shouldn’t the apostrophe come after the “s” ?

 

[JT89]

Shouldn’t the apostrophe come after the “s” ?

No, women is already plural so "women's" would be correct...

 

[pommpey]

Saturday 9 July: Netherlands vs Sweden (Group C, 20:00)
Wednesday 13 July: Sweden vs Switzerland (Group C, 17:00)
Sunday 17 July: Switzerland vs Netherlands (Group C, 17:00)
Tuesday 26 July: Semi-final (20:00)

Also, anyone who compares men's football with women's clearly doesn't understand.

There are physical differences in athleticism and output. Any comparison is ridiculous. It's a different game.

If you don't like it, don't watch it.
