From Arsenal.com...
"Arsenal set new WSL attendance record of 59,042"
"This beats the previous record of 54,115 set earlier this season in Arsenal’s home fixture against Liverpool, also at Emirates Stadium."

Think I read somewhere that Arsenal Womens average attendance this season is just over 31000. That's more than we've been physically able to get in St Andrews for over 30 years!
That's how far behind the big boys we are when their womens team average is more than we can get into our ground for the men.
