Final Success As Record Tumbles
Mon 05 May 2008
The City Ground is again the toast of women's football after staging another record-breaking cup final.
A crowd of 24,582 saw Arsenal power to a 4-1 win over Leeds in the Women's F.A. Cup final sponsored by E.ON - eclipsing the 12-month old attendance record.
Forest's Marketing Manager Brandon Furse said: "Once again the event proved to be a great success and we're delighted Nottingham Forest and The City Ground was able to provide such the venue.
"The atmosphere was superb; the game was a fitting advert for women's football and we hope everyone had a memorable and enjoyable afternoon."
It was the second successive year that Forest had hosted the showpiece event - last year 24,529 saw Arsenal lift the trophy.
