"It will be a completely different experience to what we had before,"Goalkeeper rosie morris told bbc sport. "At the home games we have at the We have a couple of hundred people watching;I can imagine what it will be like having 4 5, 000 all supporting us. "Having the home crowd behind us will be huge we saw Against netherlands at the european championship in january How much a great atmosphere affected the host nation and the referees. "We were let down by a few decisions in that game so it would be nice to have that sort of luck on our side.The majority of the british public don know our sport, so this is our chance to really showcase it and create some sort of legacy. " The sport had to cope with a huge cut in funding from uk sport in 2009 but captain fran leighton says http://www.lasaliera.it/ralph-lauren-donne/ralph-lauren-camicie.html the personal sacrifices the squad have made will be worth it if the olympics prompts an increase in interest and participation.

" Recent form and history suggests those watching water polo for the first time at the test event might see team gb struggle to make home advantage count. Hungary beat them 19 9 on the way to a bronze medal at the recent euros in the netherlands, the us have never been off the podium in the three previous games that have included women water polo, while australia steamrollered britain 5 0 in a test series at their institute of sport in january. Undaunted, leighton believes her team need to face http://www.lasaliera.it/ such illustrious opposition. "It will be tough but this is where we need to be now if we want to do well at the olympics.No game is going to be easy so, even if the results go against us in the test event, trying out our tactics against the top sides will be a good thing.
