Young Man Utd fans hold Ella Toone banner

We asked you for your thoughts on how women's football can attract younger fans without alienating loyal supporters.

Here's a sample of what you said:

Sean: Give discounts or free entry to fans who attend the men's game. If the stadiums are full and there is a great atmosphere you will attract more fans. You will initially make a loss but once people experience a few games they will be hooked.

Steven: Fans want to see players and they want to be part of the club. A bit of entertainment is fine but shouldn't be a theme park. So, promote and expose the players and make their achievements central to the club history.

Jan: Better coverage on free to view channels and equal (or any in some cases) reporting in national and local newspapers and on national and local radio. We don't get any mention of women's football in our local press, when every minor men's team matches are reported.

Tim: Match day marketing doesn't need to be either/or. London City had fan zone activities aimed at children ahead of last week's match with Everton. They also had a post match Oktoberfest aimed at an older age group. Different marketing for different audiences for the same match day.

Hannah: I think the real question is why isn't the men's more family friendly?! I don't want it to be completely overrun with kids, but there is space for everyone at the women's game - that's what makes it special and long may it continue.

London City Lionesses got the opening weekend of the WSL season off to a flying start with an impressive victory over Manchester United on Friday night.

Michelle Kang's free-spending side have recruited some high quality players over the past two summers and she is very open about wanting to take them to the very top.

On The Women's Football Fallout on Saturday, former England midfielder Fara Williams said London City were "absolutely a positive" for the women's game.

Fellow ex-Lioness Ellen White agreed, but pointed out that the lack of an English player in their starting XI was "maybe a little sad".

But what do you think? Are you on board with the London City project or do you have some concerns?
