I exited the tram and worked my way around, If Bromma airport reminded me of anything – it was London City Airport -but a lot smaller…. and at a much greater risk of seeing it shuttered, with Braathens Regional Airlines planning to draw back from the airport at the end of 2024 Arrivals and Departures are split into two buildings I followed the signs for departures past WH Smith and the departure hall This successfully printed out all three boarding passes for the outbound trip – although I had a feeling I would need to get a replacement in Hong Kong (as you normally would need a lounge invitation for those places) That would be another problem for when I landed at the Fragrant Harbour I went through the security lane – one of which was open a WH Smith (they get everywhere) and plenty of workspaces… as well as a lounge I camped out at some desks with power on them I then checked if I could use a lounge – I had conflicting information if the lounge was ground or airside I tried my luck at the lounge… and was let in and I was allowed through with them confirming they handle for Finnair here If there’s a lounge that screams “It’s slightly better as a room than in the terminal” There was a kitchen area (that was self-service Onto the food and beverage section – if you’re thinking of pre-fight dining here… oh what dreams you have of my sweet summer child it was a place to relax and continue editing away whilst the flight racked up a short delay It was not that important in itself – however the 5-10 minutes could be interesting – given the hike required when I would get to Helsinki I was called forward pre-boarding for a boarding pass and identity check separating the gates and the flight lines – so passengers are kept away from the aircraft until the last minute this aircraft felt…fresh and cared for – a major step forward when I was last aboard one of the aircraft lounges The seats have been swapped from the Geven Regional seating to Series 3 ST+ seats They’re perfectly functional for the mission – with reasonably enough padding in them Considering that aircraft are used for missions up to 1 and a half hours I was sitting at the front of the aircraft – whilst in the last row to get off it alleged a jet bridge compatible at Helsinki Airport (although I’ve never seen it used) we boarded and disembarked at the back of the aircraft – not that it helped The boarding process was carried out quickly It seemed the aircraft would be nowhere near capacity tonight – with plenty of empty rows The ATR 72-500 taxied out of Bromma Airport and pootled along to the runway with the safety demonstration carried out by hand the Turboprops came to full power and propelled us from Stockholm Bromma Airport other than the blinking lights of the outside world I just sat back and watched the world go by Shortly after take off the crew conducted their inflight service an economy class “Buy-on-board” service was offered which was supplemented with free Blueberry Juice and Water the trays were stowed on the side of the seat as opposed to the bulkhead or the seat in front This is great in theory – in practice it needed more than a little persuading for the tray table to slide back into its seat hole when stowed Given that this ATR 72-500 was pretty empty I had both seats to myself – as well as the cabin crew member who sat at the front during the safety-critical periods of the flight The segment length doesn’t give too much time to be fidgety or desperate to be connected to the internet (although given some of the Low-Earth Orbit solutions around) installing connectivity on an ATR is not outside the boundaries of possibilities as it made its descent into the dark heart that is Helsinki Airport I was hoping that the taxi would be short – as I had a race across the airport once the aircraft parked With the seatbelt signs turned off I grabbed both of my bags from the overhead bin and started to make my way down the cabin I thanked the crew and headed off into the dark of a Helsinki night I worry about Bromma Airport – especially since BRA has announced that they are planning to pull out of the airport as they become a SAS Partner – but given the traffic there… I’m not overly surprised Whilst Embraer or even an A220 could help add serious traffic I suspect that there are very few routes that are viable in the future I’m surprised this exists other than to ferry a few people who don’t want to deal with Arlanda it was functional – it got me A to B Whilst Finnair has cut its product to the bone in Economy Class at least they have the effort to serve some liquid to keep passengers going A rushed Helsinki Transit as well as the humour and madness I only know how to deliver Our Social Media pool has expanded.

property company in Sweden has entered into an agreement with CBREGI Swedish Retail Ventures AB to acquire Bromma Blocks for SEK 1.173 billion The acquisition comprises five building properties with a total leasable area of just under 57,500 sqm and well-located building rights of approximately 50,000 sqm GTA Jula and Rusta are among the larger tenants The acquisition means that Svenska Handelsfastigheter's total retail area will exceed 1 million square meters Bromma Blocks is one of the Stockholm area's leading retail venues with almost 70 tenants covering a wide range of retail offers Food and other daily consumer goods account for about 50 percent of the shopping venue's total sales which in 2023 amounted to approximately SEK 2.1 billion Total rental income amounts to SEK 210.3 million with a net operating income of SEK 131.6 million Further expansion is possible as there is potential to create building rights for an additional approximately 50,000 sqm The occupancy rate is approximately 91 percent which opens up for more rental opportunities Bromma Blocks is centrally located with a growing population base as several thousand new homes are planned in the immediate area in connection with the Bromma and Sundbyberg neighborhoods being linked closer together "We are really looking forward to taking over Bromma Blocks which has an excellent location in an expanding neighborhood We strongly believe in Bromma Blocks as a well-established shopping venue for almost 20 years in combination with Svenska Handelsfastigheter as a long-term player with strong owners We see good opportunities to further develop the area based on our extensive experience in retail venues and discount stores," says Thomas Holm "We are also very pleased to be able to develop this expansive area and the building rights together with leading retailers and the City of Stockholm This investment is an important step in our long-term strategy to contribute to the city's sustainable growth and create attractive vibrant environments for both residents and visitors," adds Thomas Holm The transaction is based on an underlying net property value of SEK 1,170 million and is financed with external loans from Nordea and equity The book value of the property amounted to SEK 1,725 million as of December 31 The deal includes the acquisition of seven companies and indirectly the leaseholds to the properties Trafikflyget 1 Closing is expected to take place on June 25 Svenska Handelsfastigheter's portfolio contained 882,000 sqm of retail space in 145 municipalities across Sweden a portfolio of retail properties of approximately 85,200 sq.m Svenska Handelsfastigheter's total leasable area exceeds 1 million sq.m The buyer's legal advisor has been

Abuse Regulation The information was submitted for publication through the agency of the contact persons set out above 30/10/2024 by Flights on ATR Turboprop aren’t normally much to write about With a bit of a TOGA to boot (and not the clothing kind) it was time for another Turboprop to take me for the short hop over to Stockholm Bromma these are seats by Acro Aircraft Seating (Series Series 3ST+ seats) that fit into a 29″ seat pitch without too many problems – perfect for a 70-seater aircraft such as the ATR72-500 Boarding was concluded quickly – with about 20 people boarding the aircraft The crew made quick work of preparing the aircraft with it meeting its push-back time on schedule it was time for a taxi around Helsinki Airport – the last one for me on this trip the blades of the ATR72-500s engines powered to take-off speed With one last view of Helsinki Airport as we passed it on the way to Stockholm the aircraft began its merry way to Stockholm Bromma with the morning light throwing some wonderful visual delights with a truncated offering aboard the turboprop fleet operated by NoRRA there were only two drinks I was interested in – the free ones but blueberry juice and water make for a good wakeup combo the crew breezed through the service and were soon sitting in the back row chatting not much else to do than clean up towards the end of the flight it looked rather pleasant as the aircraft started honing in on Stockholm Bromma Airport The aircraft began to descend through the low-level cloud… when the engines roared up to full TO/GA power (Take Off/Go Around) power – with the ATR72-500 going around Bromma Airport due to low cloud and fog our ATR72-500 was put in a holding pattern until conditions improved I’ll be honest – as I had nothing to do after landing I was happy for the extra time in the air as we looped around the islands around Stockholm the aircraft tried for a second time to descend into Bromma Airport the aircraft was successful in sticking a landing at a rather foggy Bromma Airport where a BRA ATR72 was also sat on the tarmac it was time to leave the confines of the ATR72-500 and head to solid ground There was a short wait for the rear door to be released I thanked the crew member manning the front door and headed off towards the arrivals building to say the least – with such low cloud/fog and a new thing for me – a go-around in an ATR72 (adding to the mostly Airbus go-arounds I’ve had in the past) the seating is the perfect choice for this flight segment with an appropriate service to a rather quiet airport in a

You can find us across most networks as @economybeyond on Twitter, Mastodon, BlueSky, Threads and Instagram In Sweden's last squad for official matches in November eight players had worn the red and black jersey And the number increases if we look at the youth teams in a true testament to the competence of a revolutionary method in Swedish football That's why Flashscore went to discover the secret of a club that has to co-exist in the Swedish capital's ecosystem with AIK, Hammarby and Djurgarden much better-known and more established clubs The small park that leads to the modest Grimsta IP sets the tone for the family atmosphere among the boys from Bromma (the literal translation for Brommapojkarna) It's here that more than 4,300 players put on the red and black jersey to play for 267 teams at different levels from five-year-olds to the two senior men's and women's squads The road to Grimsta IPBruno Henriques/Flashscore"We often call ourselves the biggest football club in Europe," explains Peter Appelquist who welcomed Flashscore's report in a room with a wide view of the pitch that hosts Allsvenskan matches "Swedish football is organised differently from other countries and Stockholm is different too. The 20 biggest clubs in terms of training are all here, we're at the top, Hammarby has 500 fewer players, Sollentuna and Täby are also big in Gothenburg the clubs have one team per age group we have 25 men's teams and eight women's teams for children aged eight The training model was an innovative project launched 40 years ago and is well structured: "When they're five six and seven years old they just play for fun We have over a thousand players here this year "That's the majority of our club It's an education to become footballers our under-17s won the championship and will be playing in the (UEFA) Youth League next year We'll have two teams playing in the Allsvenskan next year in the U17s "In the Under-16s we'll have three teams in the Allsvenskan In the U19s we have one team in the first division and one in the second We have a lot of players playing competitive games." Grimsta IPBruno Henriques/FlashscoreHaving so many players is obviously an advantage. However, it also helps to have quality coaches, with the likes of Olof Mellberg and former national coach Tommy Söderberg having come through Bromma's coaching ranks We have a lot of players playing against the best teams in Sweden And then we have excellent coaches who started in our academy and worked their way up "Olof Melberg was an excellent player he started here coaching his son's team and then worked his way up to the first team Stefan Billborn from Gothenburg also came through here who coached the national team at the beginning of the 21st century "It's a great environment for players to grow up in and that's why the best want to come to us Then the reputation creates a winning mentality anyone who comes here knows it's going to be good In the first three divisions in Sweden we have 60 professional players We're creating a lot of them," he said Barcelona produces top-quality midfielders, Sporting is known for its endless list of top-class centre-halves Does Brommapojkarna have a style of player "It's about having technical quality That's what we focus on in the early years In our academy we focus a lot on dribbling "They may not be the tallest, the strongest physically, but they're good technically. We've had John Guidetti, a great striker, Dejan Kulusevski, Lucas Bergavall, an intelligent midfielder, Ludwig Augustinsson, a full-back, Karl Starfelt, a centre-back who isn't very technically gifted but is good defensively, Daniel Svensson who used to be a full-back and is now a midfielder at Nordsjaelland the senior team is always important to the fans Brommapojkarna's life hasn't been easy with many appearances in the lower echelons of Swedish football going into their 10th appearance in the Allsvenskan the club is coming off the back of a 10th place finish "Now we're in the best position ever Ten years ago we didn't get much for the players we had a lot of discussions about getting money and we were on our own fighting against bigger clubs now it's FIFA that takes care of it because the solidarity mechanism is automatic "Nowadays we receive a lot of money, almost like interest, from all transfers. Augustinsson went to Sevilla, we got a few euros from Kulusevski, from Starfelt, all automatically. We got a percentage of Bergvall's transfer to Tottenham and it was the club's best ever financial result "We passed 10 million euros for the first time in an annual balance sheet we had to use players who weren't ready and we went down Now we can buy players who will help us stay and adjust the timing of launching youngsters "We're growing steadily and investing in the team to maintain it and start looking to the future and thinking about qualifying for Europe but we realise it's possible in the near future We can also invest in courses for our coaches and improve training even further," he said The click of change? The departure of Viktor Gyökeres to Brighton in 2018 for one million euros "We've always been very well known in training. A lot of clubs want to be linked with us, to make sure they pick our best players. We've had a lot of youngsters invited to train at top clubs. One of our youth scouts has worked at Manchester United for 20 years and is analysing for them too "Now we've been able to get more. When Viktor Gyökeres went to Brighton we realised the paradigm shift, that we could get paid for players. And that was confirmed with Jack Lahne (two million euros to Amiens the following year)," he concluded because Bromma's boys look set to make a name for themselves in increasing numbers in European football As for domestic matters, Brommapojkarna begin the 2025 Allsvenskan season tomorrow with an away trip to Hacken at 17:30 CET, following the season curtain raiser, Djurgarden versus reigning champions Malmo Follow all the action of the 2025 Allsvenskan on Flashscore. hosts a number of in-person and virtual events throughout the year welcoming the world’s most influential sustainability leaders to the stage to discuss some of today’s most pressing topics.  On 19th April 2023, the first-ever Sustainability LIVE New York was held where thousands of delegates tuned in virtually from across the globe.  False and misleading information can impede efforts to nurture a healthy planet Creating a sustainable future involves building safe and responsible platforms with trusted information that inspire people to make a positive impact.  In this session, Pinterest’s Head of Policy Sarah Bromma discusses how the company – which has more than 400 million users around the world – is leading industry efforts to combat false or misleading content about climate change and how it leverages policy decisions as a force for good in today’s world She begins by discussing how Pinterest views misinformation online and the business has been working to tackle this challenge.  we believe in a more inspired and positive Internet,” Bromma says “But we know that not all content out there is positive and inspiring.  we need to be really deliberate about building a positive and inspiring environment for our users – who we refer to as our Pinners One of the ways that we try to do this is through our community guidelines and our advertising guidelines.” She then continues to discuss these guidelines in more depth, while also diving into the businesses policies put in place to ensure misinformation is avoided as much as possible.  ************************************************* For more insights into Sustainability - check out the latest edition of Sustainability Magazine and be sure to follow us on LinkedIn & Twitter Other magazines that may be of interest - EV Magazine | Energy Digital Please also check out our upcoming event - Sustainability LIVE in London at the BDC on Sept 6/7th 2023 ********************************************* BizClik is a global provider of B2B digital media platforms that cover 'Executive Communities' for CEO's FinTech & InsurTech Leaders as well as covering industries such as Manufacturing Dubai & New York offers services such as Content Creation the profitability of sustainability & carbon credit standards… US President Donald Trump has signed an executive order looking to increase deep sea mining drawing concerns for undiscovered species living there… This week's top stories include Earth Day China's NDCs & Sustainability LIVE Dubai… The Local Europe ABVästmannagatan 43113 25 StockholmSweden BRA will operate flights on behalf of SAS with Stockholm's principal airport Arlanda as a hub the two airlines announced in separate press releases around 90 percent of air traffic will disappear from Bromma airport according to the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce "I don't think the airport will survive without us," Per G Braathen "We have been present at Bromma for 25 years and it is not profitable to run this airport We need to concentrate on Arlanda," he added The deal with SAS extends for over seven years and is worth around six billion kronor (530 million euros) The airline added that its fleet would be expanded and "more pilots and cabin crew will be recruited" while ground services and administrative functions would be reduced The integration of BRA's fleet with SAS will enhance Swedish infrastructure but is also "positioning Arlanda as a stronger central hub for domestic and international travel" SAS CEO Anko van der Werff said in a statement CEO of Swedavia which operates Sweden's airports said that Tuesday's announcement meant that domestic flights would now be concentrated on Arlanda "Bromma in principle will be without scheduled services," Abrahamsson said in a statement He added that while many travellers liked Bromma "a consolidation of air traffic to Arlanda is a natural development" The city of Stockholm wants to close Bromma airport as soon as possible to make way for housing and infrastructure but Swedavia has a contract to operate the airport until 2038 welcomed the announcement and said it meant that the closure of Bromma should be "moved forward" Please log in here to leave a comment. is that it could be used as an 'electric aviation hub' That probably means the centralisation of the country's development of all aspects of electric aviation on one site close to the centre of the capital city, where the world can come and view it in situ;

The Swedish government has announced its intention to close Bromma Airport in Stockholm A government committee will look at how the airport can be shut down as soon as possible to free up land for housing The availability of housing in Sweden's capital city has long been an issue and the closure of the airport should make more than 400 acres of land available for residential development Although Bromma remains Sweden's third busiest airport by passenger traffic, it is very much in the shadow of the much larger Arlanda airport which handles international flights to the Swedish capital and many domestic flights Members of the Swedish royal family opened Bromma Airport opened in May 1936 and served as the city’s main airport for around 25 years The jet age necessitated the construction of Arlanda farther away from the city to handle more and larger planes Yet given its close proximity to central Stockholm Bromma has remained an important part of Sweden’s aviation network especially for business The drop in domestic flights was even bigger with many Swedes switching over to long-distance trains instead The conservative opposition Moderate Party said that if they win the next election, they will work to continue operations at the airport for at least another 10 years. “The decision is a catastrophe for domestic flights,” traffic spokesperson Maria Stockhaus told TT. However, despite the closure of Bromma, the Swedish government is not turning away from air travel entirely. A spokesperson said it will evaluate options to expand capacity at Arlanda, including a potential new runway. "This announcement means that domestic flights will be concentrated at Stockholm Arlanda Airport, which will create conditions for more efficent domestic air travel with better transfer possibilities in the long term. At the same time, Bromma Stockholm Airport will basically have no regular traffic, says Jonas Abrahamsson, Swedavia's President and CEO, and continues: Our Analysis Reports are only available to CAPA Members CAPA Membership provides exclusive access to in-depth insights on the latest developments in the aviation and travel industry developed by our team of dedicated analysts located in Europe Each report offers a fresh perspective on the latest industry trends and is available online or via the CAPA mobile app with customisable alerts to help you stay informed and identify new business opportunities CAPA Membership also provides access to our full suite of tools including a tailored selection of more than 1,000 News Briefs every week and comprehensive data and analysis on thousands of companies around the world Continuing operations at Stockholm Bromma (BMA) is “no longer justified on commercial grounds” and capacity could be absorbed by nearby Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) That’s according to a report submitted to Sweden’s Ministry of Enterprise and Innovation by Swedavia the state-owned company tasked with operating 10 airports across the country the report recommends the early closure of BMA as Swedavia now expects the airport to have a “significant excess of capacity due to low traffic volumes” for “a long time to come.” Swedavia said that commercial air traffic there can be handled at ARN in the short term without bringing forward any significant further infrastructure investments in the longer term it added that further investment would be needed regardless of whether BMA is closed or not These investments include an additional runway at ARN the continuation of operations at Bromma is no longer justified on commercial grounds and a consolidation of air traffic in the Stockholm region at Stockholm Arlanda Airport is possible,” Swedavia chairman Åke Svensson said it is essential that Arlanda has the long-term conditions to develop in line with the needs of society I would like to emphasise that Swedavia has reached this conclusion based on the commercial conditions of the company and that a political decision to close Bromma ahead of time should be made taking a broader social perspective into consideration.” The report said that there is a risk that flight availability for certain locations may be impaired by the closure of BMA and cautioned that the move could reduce competition and drive up ticket prices other destinations could gain better national and international accessibility by using ARN Swedavia added that it does not believe BMA will be able to continue airport operations after 2038 when its current lease with the City of Stockholm expires “The aviation market is facing an unprecedented crisis Bromma will most likely have excess capacity due to low traffic volume for a long time going forward,” Swedavia president and CEO Jonas Abrahamsson said the cost of this will be borne by passengers and already wounded airlines which we do not believe is possible.” BMA has been hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic with figures provided by OAG Schedules Analyser showing that the number of departure seats this week (w/c Sept This compares with 38,000 weekly seats a year ago A contributing factor has been the suspension of service by Swedish domestic carrier Braathens Regional Airlines (BRA) The airline halted flights in April and filed for court reorganization after a collapse in demand because of COVID-19 OAG figures show that BRA operated more than 1.5 million departure seats from BMA in 2019—equivalent to 86.6% of the airport’s capacity during the year There are currently just eight routes operating from BMA this week (w/c Sept Danish carrier FlexFlight is operating to Angelholm/Helsingborg (AGH) The sole international route is a 3X-weekly service to Brussels (BRU) “We have now reported the conclusions from our impact assessment to our owner which will consider Swedavia’s assessment together with other relevant perspectives,” Abrahamsson said we have a task to continue operating our ten airports—including Bromma—in the best way possible.” A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on May 5th You can hear more reports on our homepage www.radiosweden.se we begin with the shocking triple murder in central Uppsala where three young men were shot dead inside a barbershop A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on May 2nd A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on April 30th A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on April 29th A round-up of the main headlines in Sweden on April 28th we'll hear about the charges and court hearing facing Swedish journalist Joakim Medin in Turkey the lawyer who's been talking to children and young people about gang..

specifically when world air travel industry is going through a bad phase However, closure of Bromma will not wipe out the Swedish air travel completely. Sweden plans to expand capacity at  Arlanda Bromma was Sweden's domestic flyers' favourite which is being taken over by long distance trains to some extent now But for air travels, Stockholm will depend on the much larger Arlanda airport that accomodates the international flights to the Swedish capital and many other domestic flights Swedish royal family had opened the Bromma  Airport  in 1936 and it served as the city’s main airport for

year every element in the flight management process on a regional flight was optimised to keep carbon emissions to a minimum The Braathens Regional Airlines (BRA) flight between Halmstad City Airport (HAD/ ESMT) in southern Sweden and Stockholm Bromma (BMA/ ESSB) took just over an hour and was fuelled with sustainable aviation fuel produced by Neste and supplied by Air BP Sweden is something of a pioneer when it comes to decarbonising aviation It has committed to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and is one of only two countries worldwide to incorporate its net zero target in legislation Serving as the ideal starting point for the ‘Perfect Flight,’ Halmstad City Airport was one of the first airports in Sweden to offer biojet fuel to its customers in 2017 and has ambitious plans to be fossil free by 2030 it is one of over 250 locations where Air BP’s operations have been certified as carbon neutral since 2016 Commenting after the flight had landed at Stockholm Bromma with an impressive 46% reduction in CO2 emissions Air BP’s commercial development manager said: “a key takeaway from the flight is how much can be achieved through collaboration.” Reinforcing the need for sustainable aviation fuel to be more widely available and adopted across the industry “decarbonising the industry calls for all stakeholders to come together and be united in their will to overcome obstacles.” Learn more about our carbon offsetting program Viktor Gyökeres and Amanda Nildén are on a similar path in the world of football – having cut their teeth at IF Brommapojkarna in Sweden both are now looking to establish themselves on English shores with Brighton and Hove Albion But Bromma still holds a special place in their hearts as we found out when we sat down to speak with them recently Catching up with the two 20-year-old BP Academy graduates we discussed the importance of Bromma as a club and the individual journeys that find both hoping to play more regularly at the Amex in the coming years Can you describe what memories you have from BP and what the club means to you AN: BP is my former club and after over 12 years in the club I made a lot of memories It has always been so friendly and everyone cares about each other in the club BP will always be the club in my heart and I will always wish them the best VG: I have good memories with the club and especially the last two years there when we got promoted twice I got the chance to play and they helped develop me so I enjoyed my time there What does the club stand for and how does it feel to have represented them AN: The club stands for equality and that’s a massive thing to do in a football club VG: I feel that the club always produce good talented players and very often give them a real chance to play They also represent a good and enjoyable way of playing the game Will their shirt always mean something special for you as I said BP is my former club and will always be the club that helped me become the player I am today So my old shirt from BP will always be with me What do you make of this Bromma Girls jersey VG: The shirt I wore will always be special to me but this jersey for the Girls team is a good way to show that BP as a club stands for a football that is as important for girls as it is for boys how much has the club given you strong foundations to succeed here AN: BP gave me my football education so of course they have a big impact in my career VG: I think it has helped me a lot on the way and with my development Now I need to keep doing it and keep improving What’s the transition been like and what have you made of moving to the UK AN: My move over was quite hard to be honest The football was different from what I earlier played and not knowing anyone was one of the biggest things Now after one and a half years I’ve settled in and love it over here it’s been a new life and different but I like it It's been my first whole season in England and it’s been a great experience It’s been a good season with a lot to be proud of What can you tell us about the last year and what it has been like for you AN: I have had a lot of injuries over the whole season so if you look at it like that my season hasn’t been that good As a person I’ve grown and I look at football in a different way now When I look back now this season gave me more than any other season in my career in many ways What about the standard of the game over here AN: It’s more physical over here and you need to take quicker decisions The quality of football is not that big a difference from Sweden VG: Of course it’s a bigger league here so it makes everything a bit more interesting I think There’s other differences like changing from artificial grass to real grass I’ve felt the hype around the Premier League and it has been new and something I have enjoyed Would you like for more women’s games to be played in first team stadiums AN: We had one game at the Amex this season and that was massive for us That was the biggest game of the season and I hope we will have more of the games there next season That was one of the biggest games in my career you’ve gone through the age groups with the national team how much have you set your sights on the senior team AN: Playing for the senior have always been a dream I’ve always worked hard and just done my best when I’m with the national team I can’t think of it too much and my focus is on the club I need to do the best I can there [at Brighton] and hopefully I’ll make it to the national team from there That have always been one of my goals in football Have you felt the profile of the women’s game grow over the past few years Bigger clubs starting Women’s team and more clubs working hard with equality I will watch it home in sweden on tele and cross my fingers that Sweden will win it all Treading in each others footsteps whilst trying to forge their own paths, both players will always be intrinsically linked to the place where it all began for them; a club that's stepping forward for equality throughout the game.  It was a special night at the Amex last night; not only was it Brighton’s last home game of the
