Goal! East End WI goes to the football
Three newbies, a family of football fans and an Arsenal member…
In an addition to our usual monthly meet-ups, we've had a sporting trip to watch Arsenal women v Manchester United women.
For those of us new to football matches, there were lots of surprises – the family atmosphere, the applause for good play, the pitch being sprayed at half time, that at women’s matches, fans are not segregated, and the sousaphone (pre-match brass band).
We chanted, we shouted, we laughed, we joined in with a Mexican wave… Manchester United won. But a good time was had by all.
Many thanks to Natasha for organising.
