Manchester City Women\u2019s dominant display in last month\u2019s Manchester derby resulted in a 3-0 scoreline at halftime. The game was virtually done by the time the crowd of 17,520 supporters left the Etihad Stadium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In what was the first of three games to be played there during the season, many fans were wondering whether a permanent move to a bigger stadium is foreseeable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amgie Bolton, 54, a long-term supporter, was of the opinion it could take up to a decade until that becomes a reality. \u201cI think we are 10 years away from it,\u201d was her response when asked if a move to a bigger stadium was inevitable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amgie also said about the WSL: \u201cI think the league needs to be bigger so if the league is as big as the men\u2019s league, then it would definitely warrant a bigger stadium.\u201d Certainly, the attendance figures for City Women and the WSL in general have been in constant rise<\/a> since the league was first launched back in 2011.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It grew from an average of 550 spectators per match in the league\u2019s inaugural 2011 season to an average of 7,363<\/a> per match during the 2023-24 campaign, marking a significant increase during the course of its 14-year existence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This surge comes off the back of City\u2019s commitment to invest heavily<\/a> in the Women\u2019s game, now being replicated across the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

City Women feature heavily across the Etihad Stadium<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

John Elliot, 64, who is a season ticket holder for the Women\u2019s team, said a move to a bigger stadium might come in the next five years. \u201cWithin the next five years. The attendance has just gone up and up; the ladies game has just took off,\u201d said John. \u201cThe attendance, it\u2019s just gone more and more. It\u2019s bigger, it\u2019s better.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think the success of the women\u2019s Euros certainly boosted the game a lot,\u201d said Mark Humphrey, 43, another City fan. \u201cIt\u2019s definitely gotten busier now.. There are more and more followers now than ever before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey used to give tickets away, if you had the men\u2019s season ticket, they used to give the women\u2019s tickets away,\u201d recalled Mark. \u201cIt\u2019s become a bigger game, with a lot more people now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The current attendance record for a single WSL game is 60,160<\/a>, set at Arsenal vs Manchester United during the 2023-24 season at the Emirates in London. It\u2019s entirely possible this record could be up for jeopardy in the next half-a-decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The matchday challenges, however, present another issue clubs might need to look at before the move to a bigger stadium. \u201cJoie is much more manageable, since the capacity is smaller,\u201d said a City representative who wished to remain anonymous. \u201cWith the Etihad, we have to hire more contractors and security needs to be tighter around the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not as bad when the Women play here (at the Etihad) since you mostly have families, but the club has to take all considerations and hire more people for the entire day,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manchester City was approached for a comment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
