It's financial more than anything as well LG. It's no secret that 2nd tier womens teams like Lewes and Durham, find it harder than the other teams because they're not afiliated to a mens club. Same with Cov Utd Ladies as well who aren't linked to the mens club.

My gut feel is that even as little as 10 years ago, she would struggled to have the opportunity. I'm glad she had it and hope she had a good time. I hope my daughter has such opportunities when she's older. Shame others on here cannot see that good it's doing over their blinkered views because...

Fair comments. And I work with womens teams - unfortunately that also means the need to defend them. With the over-correcting - you lump this in with politics, vaccine drive etc - doesn't that then insinuate that it's part of a bigger cultural problem and not confined to just the medias...

And that I'm not debating G. My point (again) is that the womans game is decades behind the mens because of inequality and a ban. In 50 years time, are Chelsea WFC going to have the same attendances as men? Unlikely? Are they going to be better than 2022 if they continue to promote the game in...

Or maybe they're giving it a chance to grow further so it inspires others in the future to take up the sport?

Me? Because I'm sticking up for a bit of equality?

Ha ha - are you seriously calling me a loner who doesn't go outside?! Ha ha! My work here with you is done.

Or maybe I live in the 2020s and don't have views entrenched in the 70s...

Strange opinion

It's not shoved down your throat FFS...stop being melodramatic.

Well, it is. To insinuate that the womens game wouldn't be further forward if they hadn't been banned until 50 years ago is weird. Womens football is only starting to see real investment - with the TV deal that started this season. The benefit isn't going to happen overnight. As for womens...

True story. It was almost inverted.

See, this 'shoving it down your throat' is a pretty lame term - not just directed at you SB1991. No one forces you read anything about the womens game - it's merely there to show that it's there and give the game more exposure than it previously has done. So what if a phone pings about the...

I'm based in the UK and work with 3 professional womens teams in the FAWSL and the FAWC - I don't know about other countries womans leagues. The skill levels of mens football is ahead of where it was 50 years ago because of the advances of training methods, training facilities, coaching...

If Women had been playing as long as men, the quality would be much better.

Continued exposure will lead to an increased support. Its not going away and will only continue to get more exposure. That's a good thing.

Which is why the quality will always be behind the mens game. But there was some good football in the Utd Everton game today.

To be fair, there were 20k at Old Trafford today

Honestly, do it mate. Genuinely felt great yesterday afterwards. Committing to do it every Friday morning.

Ah nice one. That's about 8 miles isn't it?
