On 20 September they defeated a northern English army led by Edwin, Earl of Mercia, and his brother Morcar, Earl of Northumbria, at the Battle of Fulford, outside York. Following this victory they received the surrender of York. Having briefly occupied the city and taken hostages and supplies from the city they returned towards their ships at Riccall.

On 20 November last year, Chelsea Women welcomed a club record crowd of 38,350 to a sold-out Stamford Bridge for their 3-0 defeat of Tottenham. Yet that match is an outlier. Because, despite unrivalled success on the pitch in recent years in England, the club is still struggling to fill the main stadium when the women’s team play there. Chelsea built on the 24,564 that watched them play Spurs in 2019, but this year’s game against the same opponents attracted only 14,776. Why is this? Why are the winners of the past four league titles unable to regularly get closing to filling Stamford Bridge and what can they do to hit that target? That is easier said than done though: “It’s a proper learning curve and I don’t think there’s a straightforward answer. One of the reasons is, for years, it feels like growing the fanbase was the forgotten part. Because we were doing so well on the pitch, the need to build the fanbase got forgotten. The previous owners or the hierarchy didn’t help, we didn’t play that many games at Stamford Bridge. Women’s football has grown so much since we first played there in 2016.” Chelsea’s legends tour of Stamford Bridge lasts for 90 minutes and has access to the home and away dressing rooms, the players’ tunnel, pitchside and the press room.
