As the W-League has grown in the past six seasons, so has it appeal.  Not just to female supporters but to male supporters.

Paul Frederickson is a football and has been since he started playing the game at the ripe old age of six.  Paul is also a Brisbane Roar man.

Men's, women's or youth, it doesn't really matter to him as long as the team wears orange.  We caught up with Paul to find a little more about his support of the W-League side.

When was your first exposure to the W-League and why did you head along?

I was there from the first W-League season.  I consider the Roar as a club as opposed to just one team. Every team gives you the ability to watch more football!

What impressions did you come away with after the match?

It was slower but, as a long time fan, I really enjoyed the ability to break down the game tactically. Throughout the seasons the skills of the team, their passion and a family atmosphere has made it get better every game.

How often do you get out to matches or view on ABC?

I watch more than half to three quarters of the games. For me it's all about the timing and I love the coverage.

What do you enjoy most about the W-League?

I enjoy the pace of the midfielders and their willingness to run at defences.

Which player do you enjoy watch perform on the pitch?

Hayley Raso for her blistering pace, silky skills and classy finishing. Her dad, John, is a great bloke and my mate! Kyah Simon is a gun as well and I wish her a speedy recovery!

Has your support translated to the Matildas?

Always followed all of our national football teams. Matildas are not celebrated enough, their Asian triumph is all but forgotten!
