Today was my last day at @ArsenalWFC . Not enough space to thank all the Staff and Players, current and ex, for making every day a great day. Wonderful Club with lots of staff that you don’t see, making it special. Thank you to all the fans. No doubt silverware arriving soon.

@Kristance77 We don’t print numbers on kit for first day of training, once they are happy with fit we print numbers or initials for staff. Our print machine has been working so hard it had a fault this morning, by the time it was fixed i ran out of time to print before players arrived.

@vg_1029 In the Womens game we don’t issue new shirts every game. They have 2 shirts / shorts per game so many change at half time. Most shirts will last half a season, unless damaged and they will be replaced. Rest of the kit is reused.
