> We plan to play eight Barclays Women’s Super League (WSL) games at Emirates Stadium, alongside three UEFA Women’s Champions League (UWCL) fixtures, should we qualify for the group stages of the competition.
> Progress to the latter stages of the UWCL would also mean all home legs in knock-out rounds would come to N5.
> The remaining games, including all women’s domestic cup fixtures (Adobe Women’s FA Cup and FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup), will be played at the long-standing host venue, the Mangata Pay UK Stadium (Meadow Park, Borehamwood), the home of our men’s U21 team.
This was my assumption when the meadow park deal was renewed. It gives them enough wiggle room and safety for WSL fixtures. UWCL fixtures have to be at the emirates anyway so their hands are tied but they undoubtedly would want them there for the big name games anyway, and then the cup fixtures that would likely not draw as big a crowd won’t cost them £££ in operating the emirates and give them the headache of trying to do so.
Interesting timing on the announcement though.

Great news, doesn’t make up for yesterday mind you but the fans and players that are still here deserve it.
