Guiseley Spectator Plea for Sunday's FA Cup Semi
Leeds United LFC v. Liverpool LFC
Leeds United Ladies striker Lucy Ward visited UniBond Premier Division club Guiseley’s Nethermoor Park ground and made a plea for locals to come out and support her team when they take on Liverpool in the FA Women’s Cup semi-final there on Sunday (3pm).
Leeds United’s Ladies have equalled their best ever run in the FA Women’s Cup but hope to go one better this time. The club got to the last four in 2000 when they were a Northern Premier League team and were beaten 2-1 by eventual winners Croydon.
UniBond League club Guiseley face a massive task on Sunday as they prepare for a crowd of over 1,000. The spotlight is firmly on them in terms of organisation but Chairman Phil Rogerson knows his volunteer workers will rise to the challenge.
“We are greatly honoured to have been given this game to stage. We are proud to be a Charter Standard Community Club and we are looking to all sections of our club to take on this challenge on Sunday."
Mr Rogerson said that there had been an excellent response from local clubs with Charter Standard status who can apply for up to 50 free tickets and one local Sunday football club had also applied for 50 tickets.
“We have been getting enquiries from all over the place for tickets and to satisfy local needs we will have a ticket office open in the clubhouse on Saturday morning between 10am and noon. Groups of 15 applying in advance of the game can get tickets for just 50p each so it is well worth people getting together and coming along to enjoy the best in women’s football.
“The women’s game has improved dramatically in recent years and we are happy to have a women’s team here at Guiseley which is riding high in the West Riding League. We are also proud that the junior section has girls’ teams as well. Leeds United with an array of international players at all levels should show local girls just what the marker is for playing at this level.”
Leeds striker Lucy Ward said: “I think it is quite important for us to get a good crowd, particularly one where most of them are shouting for us. It would be like having a twelfth player. I just hope all the local people come out and support us.
“I think it will be nice for the people of Guiseley to see women’s football at this level, there are local girls in our side and we would love the people to come out and support us.”
“One of our regular supporters is Leeds United star Simon Walton whose sister Sophie is in our side. She, like a number of our young players, has received England recognition. Sue Smith of course is a full international of ten years standing and everyone seems to know her name but we have lots of up and coming young stars playing at England U-17 and U-19 levels.”
The main club car park at Guiseley will be taken up with players and officials and will not be available to the public. The other club car park can be accessed via Ings Lane and Ings Crescent. The club has also received permission to open up the former Brook Crompton car park on Netherfield Road with access to the ground over the railway footbridge. Stewards will be on duty to direct cars to the appropriate places.
