Very easy to shrug shoulders and think "well, that's modern football" about the lack of playoff kickoff time, but it's absolutely insane that tens of thousands of fans will have spent hundreds of thousands of pounds by now on a game that the authorities can't be arsed to confirm.

Some quick thoughts from me on what this could mean for United Women, here: open.substack.com/pub/womenofs...

Pasting @emsandersbbc.bsky.social tweet here - this is an awful situation for Blackburn's players and for their sake I hope it gets resolved. But does seem that discussions are taking place about a possible reprieve for SUFC.

Brilliant to see Maria pick up goal of the season - was a hell of a strike: youtube.com/shorts/28udP... And bittersweet to see former Blade Isobel Goodwin (deservedly) add Championship Player of the Season to her Golden Boot trophy. What a player.

NEW POD! A long look back with @panchero.bsky.social at United's nine previous playoff campaigns to see what can be learned and hopefully avoided as we aim for a win at the 10th attempt. SC: soundcloud.com/ben-meakin-6... AP: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/b... Sp: open.spotify.com/show/6wLq5qa...

Also thanks to everyone who read / shared this. I think it's significantly the most-read newsletter I've written so far on Women of Steel - the more people that know about how the club sleepwalked into this relegation, the better chance we have of not doing it again (I hope).

I can't make the Blackburn game so if you or anyone you know would like a freebie, drop me a DM. Got an adult + senior ticket on the Kop but easy enough to transfer to different category if wanting two adults etc

United Women were relegated from the Championship yesterday - I had a lot of thoughts about how it came about, and what comes next: open.substack.com/pub/womenofs...

Relegation from the Championship for United Women who pay the price for a mess of a summer in 2024. What comes next will say a lot about the attitude of our new owners towards the women's game in the region: open.substack.com/pub/womenofs...

A good read this, especially as there's probably a lot of parallels to United's academy which is at the same category as Charlton's

Won't get chance to record before tomorrow's game unfortunately so we'll discuss both of them later in the week, hopefully with no need to talk about Oxford at all...
