NEWS: Coventry City announce partnership with #HerGameToo

Coventry City are delighted to announce a new partnership with HerGameToo, which aims to raise awareness of, and combat, sexism in football.
www.ccfc.co.uk

Seems a bit weird given we don't have a ladies team (albeit we do have a girl's team)

Never a bad thing to encourage diversity and inclusion in our support though.

Oh, definitely. Support the message entirely. Just not having a women's team doesn't look great for that image.

Given that we’re too tight to bother pursuing even a loan to help a threadbare squad I doubt we’d justify funding a full time women’s team.

Isn't Her Game Too more about attitudes towards female supporters and how they are treated rather than anything to do with if you do or don't have a women's side?

A woman's group who featured on football focus the other week .seems they are working on getting more publicity and of course they are welcome.

Oh you're fucking hilarious.
Opinions such as yours are the reasons initiatives such as this have to exist.

It's not a joke. It isn't funny.

In all seriousness, I can't see why anybody would think it's a bad thing.

We don't need to have a women's team but if there's a few more women represented (maybe at he SCG meetings etc as well) to be able to put their issues forward then it's decent.

It looks like the Cov City Girls team will be included and involved anyway!

Good that the club is supporting this initiative. As well as being the right thing to do for its own sake (which is reason enough alone to do it), if this boosts the club's support then all the better.

Will definitely be interested to hear what is discussed and what the plans are moving forward.

Obviously as a concept it is great and just looking at some of the responses to the announcement clearly needed but not sure what will actually get put in place.

If it increased the exposure of the club to more women and makes them more comfortable coming to games, it's a great thing.

I'll be honest, in all the years I've been going to see Cov. After looking it up, I never actually knew that was the line in 'Oh Coventry' . It's all a bit too Johnny Vaughan. LADS, LADS, LADS.
