Mead - We're really excited to have fans back

Beth Mead cannot wait to welcome our fans back to Meadow Park.

We confirmed this week that 900 supporters would return in time for Sunday's Women's Super League clash with Birmingham, and our No 9 is buzzing to see as many familiar faces as possible.

"It's weird to say that we're saying the fans are coming back but that is the day and age we live in," she said. "As a team, and myself personally, we're really excited. It'll be nice to have a little bit of an atmosphere and have the fans back at the game. 

"It's been weird. You score a goal, you concede or you do something not great and you've normally got someone on your back or celebrating, whatever it is. It's been a little bit different. We've had to get used to it but we didn't want to get used to it too much. We're super excited to have the fans back and hopefully we can put in a good performance on Sunday for them.

"For the fans who are unable to come, we're sorry you can't be there but hopefully you continue to support us from afar, watching the game on the FA Player and hopefully you'll have the chance to come to a game soon, and hopefully we can make it worthwhile."
