Spurgeon full cry here.

Legerla! Welcome, welcome, listeners to the extra inch.

My name's Wendy, and I'm joined by our tactics guy, Nathan A. Clark.

Hello, Nathan.

Hello, Wendy.

Good to have you here, because we're talking about a subject that I know nothing about, and so I Clark. Hello, Nathan. Hello, Wendy. Good to have you here,

because we're talking about a subject that I know nothing about, and so I need your expertise,

Nathan. We're also joined, I'm very glad to say, by Abby and Rachel from N17 women,

the first Spurs Women's podcast. Welcome to you both. Hi there. Hi. Abby, people might know you a little bit because

you are an ex-sub and you've been on my couch and we had a good conversation about your

life. But we're going to talk to you a bit about Spurs women, how we got into them and of course

this new podcast that you've launched together

and with some other colleagues too.

So I'll start with Rachel and get you to talk a bit about that, if that's okay.

So you spoke on your debut episode about your individual journey to supporting and now covering Spurs women,

and you all had different routes that seemed to sort of

align with the Spurs women's promotion to the top flights alongside Josie Marinio

being in charge of Spurs' men's team. Can you talk a little bit to that? I think that for all of us, it was really important to support both a Spurs team but also a women's team.

And the coming together of both of those things was really what brought us to Spurs women.

So all of us are fans of Spurs men's team, some of us for longer, some of us more recent.

But then there were various reasons why either we didn't want to or we weren't able to go to the games much or Spurs men were managed by Marino.

And Spurs women were becoming a better team after for a long time being very much the underdogs in North London.
