Now, I know Crawley likes to look down his nose at folk, but he misses the point. Folk aren't "bothered" about women's football coverage etc, they will either watch it or not- however its not a patch on the men's game, and that's despite clear improvements. For me, as I've said before, the goalkeeping is the biggest issue. Miles apart. Historical evidence shows that at one time women's football was, for a short time, popular, with Preston's team being well renowned and watched by large crowds. Whether it will get towards anything like that, who knows. A bit like rugby union for me- won't watch club level, but come international competitions, then will take in a few games. I have a picture of a Bolton Wanderers womenās team from 1921. If I knew how, Iād post it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Youri McAnespie Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 The Leeds United Women's Team's mobs stay clear of the prosecco and nail bars of Eccles an' all... Why should the rules allow handballs an' all? You want to be a centre-half you may end up looking like Steve Bruce. Don't like mixed football at any level. If someone is technically better than you you shouldn't have to think twice before scything them down. Playing against girls gives them that split-second of hesitation before you jump in with a two-footed lunge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wigan Athletic girls did. That's what pissed me off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
