Fucking hell...Nick and TGP then - hardly the world queuing up to tell me you're right and I'm wrong!! Oh look, G sensationalising things to try and suit his argument. Go to bed G.

FFS....stop being an idiot and twisting what I said to suit your argument!! I didn't suggest women need a few quid from the guys to be able to succeed. What I said was that clubs that aren't affiliated to male clubs find it harder financially. Seriously G, I've noticed that when you look...

I mean, it's only Nick that's responded on that point but again, make it out to be something else. True G style.

G - we see differently on this, I'm fine with that. Others see differently - again, I'm fine with that. I wouldn't say most either - I'd say more maybe, not most. Everything I've said is logical and makes sense. I'm anything but blinkered to want womens football to do well. To insinuate...

But if it's the owners money, it could be, no? I don't know how it's hard to understand?

Oh my god...I cant believe im biting but... Why can't you take something for what it is without comparing it to a shitty example which doesn't prove you're right at all?? Let's make this easy. Dale Vince has £100 to spend. Dale spends £90 on a football club called Forest Green Rovers FC Dale...

Its money he could put into the club.

Ok last one - Dale Vince does spend money on green initiatives. Even today on LinkedIn he admitted to spending £10k (didnt catch the full interview) for environmental protestors. He also owns Ecotricity. But yeah, he doesn't....

Look, genuinely, I don't have more time to give on this one so it'll be my last post on the matter. For avoidance of doubt: * I don't believe the womens game is an equal of the mens. * I don't think it ever will be. * But, I think it'll get better as they continue to bring more money into their...

Loads of money? I've already said it's a fraction of a 'big clubs' overall turnover. There's also a lot more money in the womens game due to TV deals. It's like you think these womens teams are syphoning money from the mens game. Sponsors of clubs will pay for the privelege of sponsoring mens...

So it's a publicity stunt? Or could it be moving with the times?

Because clubs are businesses - you know as well as I do that revenues are not solely focused on 11 men on a pitch. Do you think fans of Forest Green Rovers FC are up in arms with Dale Vince when he spends money on environmental initiatives and not spending that money on bringing in a new player??

Ah apologies - I misunderstood. I obviously meant attached to a well established mens team - like a professional EFL/EPL club. Lewes Women are attached to Lewes Men. They find it harder than womens teams associated to pro EFL/EPL teams.

Yes. If my club could afford it, then absolutely. The % clubs spend on their womens teams is a fraction of overall turnover. So long as it didn't compromise the team I grew up supporting, why wouldn't I??

Of course you wouldn't G...

Erm, thats what I'm saying??

Fair point - but what would your structure be? In most mens leagues in Europe, you get dominance of a few teams - England (City, Liverpool, Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal), Spain (Barca, A.Madrid, R.Madrid), France (PSG, Marseille), Germany (Bayern Munich, B.Dortmund), Italy (Juve, Milans). What's the...

If Cov Utd Ladies were Cov City Woman FC and affiliated to the club, they'd likely train at Ryton or a better facility than they currently have, they'd have better access to coaching, the club would likely give them an amount of money to spend on accommodation, they'd likely have more money for...

I'm sorry it's got such a negative impact on your TV viewing mate.
