The FA Women’s Super League returned to action over the weekend with fans allowed into stadiums – albeit with many new procedures to follow.

The game took place at Dagenham & Redbridge’s Victoria Ground (aka the Chigwell Construction Stadium) and, although things didn’t go according to plan on the pitch, Jo felt comfortable with the safety mesaures in place.
“Did we feel safe? Yes, we did,” says Jo.
