latemodelchild Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Loads of women sat round us on the North. I'd say we've got a good number of ladies attending our games so I don't think we need to do an offer like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why if we give them a free ticket they’ll suddenly start paying 40 quid to go? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely gay men will then take hissy fits?! These days, even when you make well-meaning gestures there will be some group taking offence! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owls-Fan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I can see their heart is in the right place but seems odd to me. Why let women get in for free and men have to pay? In my office there's more women than men working and earning money. So they get to watch football for free and i have to pay. I could understand if women on maternity leave get in free. And i applaud any club allowing children under 16 to get in free. But allowing over 18's of any sex to get in free when they have jobs, seems weird to me. There's lots of men put off by going to football too, maybe free tickets would entice them to watch football 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owls-Fan Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 i can picture it now, in a bar after the game talking to a woman. "What did you do today then?" "i went to the football, for free!, how about you?" "i went to the same game but had to pay £25". "Unlucky, now get the drinks in that's a good boy". 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulrs Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 If they’re going to start giving women free tickets to stereotypically male activities, I hope it also works the other way round, like a free treatment at a spa or something like that. I could do with a good massage and pedicure. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are correct, but more probably needs to be done to widen the support base and make it more accessible for women/families/kids or people from non traditional backgrounds to go. I don’t like the idea though of giving one group something for free when another is paying through the nose for it. That doesn’t seem fair at all.

WAWAW stupid idea. What they should be doing is making football more affordable for all, not just trying to score the moral high ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
