Shrewsbury Town director Leanne Rimmer hailed the support of the club’s women’s team as ‘unbelievable’ after their record attendance at the Croud Meadow on Sunday.
Salop’s ladies’ team played their first West Midlands Regional Premier Division game on the Meadow turf – winning 3-0 against Shifnal Town in front of a record 912 fans.
“Before the women’s Euros, we were looking at about 500, but we have not had the opportunity to play on there since the women’s World Cup and the Euros. So I would have been disappointed if we would have done less than what we did before. “For me, I was in a quite unique position being a director and a player. I was involved in the organising and I think as a player that almost helped because stopped me from having any pre-game nerves.
Rimmer says the success of the Lionesses over the last 18 months has been so important for the development of the game in this country. “Now you don’t need anyone to tell you who they are because everybody knows them, and that shift has just been amazing, and hopefully it is feeding down into the leagues.”
