Disappointing viewing figures for the England game

imagine will increase as tournament goes on, but think the non England games will be of a wipe out viewer wise

I suspect the non England games will soon be moved from BBC1

England v Austria was the highest viewed thing on TV that night, suspect the BBC are pretty happy about that 

read it peaked it around 3.7m which is slightly disappointing in my opinion (and on TV ratings threads)

Plus iPlayer streams it got to 4.5m, considering Corrie does 5m most nights including catch up, that’s impressive 

Decent numbers, but a reality check of where women's football is at the moment. If the men had been playing the opening match of a home tournament, they'd have got between 15 and 20 million.

Be interesting to see what the figures will be like should England reach the semi's or the final. 11 million watched the women's semi final in 2019. The "most watched British televisions broadcast of the year" apparently : https://www.theguardian.com/media/2019/jul/03/england-world-cup-defeat-to-usa-watched-by-117m-tv-viewers

Viewing figures for the later stages though are to an extent like the attendances for Wembley playoff finals. Just because clubs bring 30k to Wembley, that doesn't translate to massive regularly numbers.

Oh Im expecting 38k at home for the Plymouth game in August. 

no one is expecting that Rothko, I just thought would be higher than that. 

Was at the opening game and it was brilliant to see everyone supporting. My kids loved the whole match day experience especially my daughter as she loves her football. 

It wasn't the best performance England's star players couldn't get into the game but credit to the opposition, Millie Bright was outstanding though everyone adamant she should of been player of the match. 

Also got tickets for France Italy and a semi-final, which hoping the lionesses win the group and progress though. 

Although one change i would make for a fairer game would be smaller goals, it still doesn't feel totally fair that a lot of women's keepers are on average 5ft 8inches and can barely touch the crossbar even when at full reach.

Strange it started on a Wednesday night, surely a Saturday evening would have been better

Glad there were other Charlton fans there too. I attended with @Len\'s_little_girl . We are also going to Brighton for the Norway match on Monday. Good Father Daughter bonding activity in my view.

England in the final would be a huge TV draw, maybe not euro 2020 level but pretty big. 

I doubt that it would.

Did you not see my comment about the semi final in 2019?

France-Italy is the first game I've seen where both teams looked half-way competent.  Seems strange saying that with one of them 5-0 at half-time but the Italian's haven't been totally awful.

Netherlands v Sweden last night was good

I was hugely disappointed by Italy.
Awful defending.
Made France look amazing.
Very strange game 🤔

Watched about 10-15 minutes of Austria v NI, my god it's bad.

Expecting a lot better from England v Norway later.

That's never a penalty, she basically just threw herself to the ground after minimal contact.

Superbly taken penalty though.

2-0 now. England absolutely tearing Norway apart here.
