Jon Newsome Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 After the very justified question of why we don't have a women's team, and what the club is doing to change it, it's time to press the club again on the matter. It's time we got into the modern world and promote this big time, a successful women's team could really contribute to bringing some of those 'non paying customers' to Hillsborough.

MrTacoSWFC Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 (edited) Just concentrate on sorting the current mess we are in first... Don't bite of more than we can chew. When things are running smoothly then other ventures can be pursued. Edited August 15, 2018 by MrTacoSWFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Newsome Posted August 15, 2018 Author Share Posted August 15, 2018 I believe equality is far more important than if the men's team is successful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's obviously not true but I do agree it would be nice if the club did more with SWLFC. It is however a 'nice to have'; there is no money on it and I think we have bigger fish to fry at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wednesday, 15th August 2018 ( 473,811 Visitors ) Sheffield Wednesday Ladies are SWFC's official female representative club at both junior and senior level's. Based in Sheffield our teams play in the Sheffield & Hallamshire Girls & Women's County Leagues with our First team competing in the North East Regional Women's Football League (NERWFL) We have 9 junior teams and are the only club in South Yorkshire with a team currently competing at every available age group within the SHGCL league structure from U9's through to U18's giving girls a direct pathway to senior women's football with our First, Reserve and Development teams. This now makes us South Yorkshires biggest all female football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically they have improved tremendously over the past fifteen years or so. Only watched a few games on telly and have enjoyed the games. So much so that you see them as players more than what sex they are. I would doubt very much they could ever beat a man's side I would even go as far to say that the present Women's England team couldn't beat a decent pub team. That would purely because of the strength factor, skill wise and ability they are on a par. Would be nice to be proven wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts are I have no interest in women’s football and most of the fans I know (including women) feel the same. For me it’s not about equality but more of what I’d like to see the money I put into the club going towards and I’d rather we get out of this FFP mess than start a women’s team.

inspiraL Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 SWFLC is not directly associated with swfc more of a community team. SFC have had to drop out of the championship this season due to the mammoth financial commitments required. I heard the SUFC are struggling already with there new team. The women’s game is in a worst state than the men’s financially with the elite clubs buying there way in and the teams that established the female game being swept away for big name men’s team. Looks at donny bells. The girls game is really doing well. Every season more and more participation more clubs adding girls team to there rosters. It is putting a strain on facilities though as there is not enough 3G pitches available that players can get to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
