Birmingham City Women\u2019s title decider with London City Lionesses is set to be watched by a club-record attendance at St Andrew\u2019s @ Knighthead Park.<\/p>\n
Blues<\/a> have introduced a wave of initiatives to encourage supporters to get behind the women\u2019s team in their promotion shoot-out, and more than 5,500 tickets have already been snapped up, according to the club.<\/p>\n London City are top of the table, two points clear of Blues, so Amy Merricks\u2019 side have to win to seal their place in next season\u2019s Women\u2019s Super League. No other scenario will cut it on Sunday.<\/p>\n Both teams were held to 1-1 draws last weekend to set up this winner-takes-all clash.<\/p>\n Van Egmond ready for one last push<\/strong><\/p>\n Emily van Egmond is among the biggest names in Blues\u2019 squad, having won 156 caps for Australia, and her experience will be key on Sunday.<\/p>\n The Aussie insists the team should be proud to be in the conversation for promotion.<\/p>\n \u201cI did a little bit of research before coming in and it\u2019s a competitive league from top to bottom,\u201d said Van Egmond. \u201cAs a footballer, that\u2019s what you want, you want a challenge every week.<\/p>\n \u201cThe team should be proud to even be in this situation, competing for a promotion spot.<\/p>\n “Hopefully we get all our fans out there to support us because it will honestly feel like a 12th man for us out there.\u201d<\/p>\n Wagner will be in attendance<\/strong><\/p>\n It is no surprise ticket sales have increased since Tom Wagner\u2019s<\/a> call to arms earlier this week.<\/p>\n Blues chairman Wagner said: \u201cWhen we fill St Andrew\u2019s @ Knighthead Park we rarely, if ever, lose. This weekend we\u2019ve got a huge match on the women\u2019s side against London City Lionesses where a win secures promotion.<\/p>\n \u201cI\u2019ll be there, I would love to see you all there as well to make it a very special day for everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n Recognition for Magill<\/strong><\/p>\n Northern Irish forward Simone Magill has been nominated for the Barclays Women\u2019s Championship Player of the Month for April after scoring three times in two matches.<\/p>\n Magill netted a brace in Blues\u2019 huge 3-1 comeback victory over Durham at St Andrew\u2019s before opening the scoring in the draw at Newcastle United last weekend.<\/p>\n Magill is up against Newcastle\u2019s Beth Lumsden, London City\u2019s Isobel Goodwin and Portsmouth\u2019s Sophie Quirk.<\/p>\n Quinn to retire<\/strong><\/p>\n Blues Women will bid farewell to club captain Louise Quinn after their match with London City.<\/p>\n Quinn, 34, has made 84 appearances for Blues across a four-year spell and top scored for the team in the 2021\/22 campaign.<\/p>\n Before joining Blues in 2021, Quinn represented Fiorentina, Arsenal, Notts County and Swedish side Eskilstuna United.<\/p>\n \u201cRetiring was no easy decision and you go back and forth, but I\u2019m going to continue being a fan in whatever way I can be,\u201d said Quinn.<\/p>\n Get the latest Blues headlines sent straight to your phone<\/p>\n BirminghamLive has its very own Birmingham City<\/a> WhatsApp community to deliver the latest headlines straight to your phone.
