Eloise King becomes one of Norwich Women's first professional players
at 09:47 3 Jul 2025

Yes, she must feel really strange. A professional contract and a chance to play in a big stadium, but for the Canaries! She came on as sub for Town at Carrow Road in the 6-0 League Cup win last season.

Eloise King becomes one of Norwich Women's first professional players

Norwich Women are two leagues below Ipswich.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c86g01l1j5vo reports...

King has signed as a free agent after playing for Hashtag United during the 2024-25 season.

The 22-year-old midfielder previously made nearly 100 appearances for Ipswich Town and represented England at under-19 level.

I am so sad about what has happened to our game. Were it not for Ipswich I could happily never watch another Premier League game. Football is being ruined before our eyes.

England seem to play a different colour every time I watch. We are at home, so should be white shirts surely.

That's the first Jonathan Rowe goal I've ever cheered
at 12:19 29 Jun 2025

That's right, a £17m switch apparently. Norwich continually seem to have players to sell for massive fees. I am just grateful they have, thus far, wasted a lot of that money.

Next seasons kits
at 15:13 26 Jun 2025

That goes to show how we have four times the away kits that we did a few years ago. I understand the commercial reasons, but changing less often gave more time for the shirts to become iconic.

Women’s games confirmed for Col U stadium
at 18:48 24 Jun 2025

I suppose most people going to the matches are ones who live nearby or find it easy to get to. In recent years it was people in Felixstowe, who travel by public transport or who like visiting Felixstowe for a day out (like me). The next two years will be people who live near Colchester and perhaps a few drivers from Ipswich. After that it could be a third set of fans, depending where the new home in Ipswich is and how appealing it is to go there i.e. walkable, public transport links, pubs/cafes nearby.

It will be very interesting to see what the attendances are in Colchester. Felixstowe would have been 1,000 to 2,000 I think. Portman Road, perhaps 3,000 to 4,000 but hard to say.

https://www.cu-fc.com/fans/getting-to-the-game :

MATCHDAY PARKING - There is a large car park on site at the JobServe Community Stadium, with almost 700 spaces available. These can be booked in advance of each matchday via colutickets.com - you'll need to add your car registration to your booking to access via the ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) barrier on arrival. Parking spaces typically cost £7 per car.

I wasn't sure if Colchester have a women's team, but read they do.

They play at Colchester Garrison B Ground, a 12 minute walk dorm Colchester Town Station.

A good idea, and a handful of people may do that. I think I will still go to Felixstowe for the days out, and just check the score online / YouTube.

The men and women should not play at the same time in my opinion, regardless of the stadium. There are only 11 WSL2 home matches so it should be possible to schedule them all when the men are not playing.

Colchester's stadium is a long walk from the train station though, and there are no buses from Ipswich to Colchester on Sundays.

Attendances trebled in recent years at Felixstowe. I doubt many will travel to Colchester. I won't.

So rubbish we almost forgot they were here 11
at 18:17 22 Jun 2025

I have been reading https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilel_Mohsni as I have no memory of Bilal Moshni. Turns out we signed him on loan from Southend after he initially refused an extended trial with us. He made five substitute appearances. Later he returned to Southend and apparently refused to train at one point. He later moved into Rangers, who I suppose were in the lower leagues back then after they dropped down.

Major developments for the women's team
at 19:19 18 Jun 2025

Yes, I thought I read somewhere about 800 fans but maybe that is no longer the case. The average attendance in Felixstowe rose to around that level, from hardly any fans a few years ago. I think if the matches are moved outside Suffolk many would feel that had been taken away from them.

I would hope they would do some consultation with fans, as if the established fan base in Felixstowe does not want to travel to Colchester they would need to be confident that enough new people would go to the matches to meet WSL2 attendance requirements. I know a match or two at Portman Road would bump up the average. Colchester feels very wrong to me.

To think we finished 11th in League One the season before and the five permanent signings to try to revive our fortunes were these three, Ross Crane and Albert White, the latter two who never made an appearance. All free transfers. We had no chance of promotion, looking back.

Yes, in a grim triple signing with Stephen Ward and David Cornell.
