110,000 apparently attended the final
We just heard nothing of it until now  The whole story reads exactly like that a story The mascot was a young girl in a kit, the goal posts were painted pink etc Even now they can't fill stadiums but somehow managed to smash records back in the 70s? Something stinks  |

The BBC are all for women now...particularly the les sort
If they had their way they would ban men  |

I don’t know anything about the event mentioned in 1971, but for those questioning the attendance figures... is it possible that it was staged as an undercard to some other prominent match?

The secret history of women's football
http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33064421/the-secret-history-of-womens-football Women's matches pulled in enormous crowds There was a huge growth in women's football during the war when women were called upon to do factory jobs left by the men who had gone to fight. On Christmas Day in 1917, 10,000 spectators watched two women's teams playing at Preston. And when Dick Kerr's Ladies played St Helen's Ladies on Boxing Day 1920 they pulled in a crowd of 53,000 at Everton's Goodison Park ground, with thousands more fans locked outside. Everton men's highest attendance this season (2014/15) was 39,000. 1970 unofficial World Cup Women soccer 1970 (15.07) Denmark - Italy - 2-0 World Cup Final (unofficial) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B2L2CzrrnIE 1971 (05.09) Mexico - Denmark - 0-3 World Cup Final women (unofficial) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgy6FOz3-bY |

Charlie is correct about the massive crowds, the ladies game was destroyed by the F.A. who banned any F.A. registered team from allowing a ladies game to be played in their stadium.
