Women's football was doing O.K. until the F.A. banned it because it was becoming a bit too popular. They're starting from scratch again.
It doesn't cost the clubs 'a bomb'. If it did they wouldn't run women's teams. According to David Sullivan, it costs 'peanuts' to run West Ham's women's team.

It’s like putting Ronny Corbett in goal to face Barcelona. They’d take the piss. The whole thing let down by one player being shit.
Rarely you win the odd meaningless game but when it comes to it we always put you back in your small box. Nothing little nation like say djibouti or somewhere. Most people think it’s a city in England.
Kim Little is one of the best players in the women’s game and could walk in to the England team. Scotland’s problem is depth.

It has never been anything but unpopular and shit. Keys & Gray used to be creased watching it.
It costs a fortune but you have to do it in case you look sexist.
About 90,000 in Azteca to watch Mexico v England in 1971.
OOOSH YEAH

I think it’s more that Scotland are shit at sport. If there was a competition for shooting up skag and drinking cans they’d be world champions.
Mate Man City get less than 2k a game man. Haway it’s a joke man. It’s only on because it’ll look sexist if it’s not.

At the current rate of improvement Scotland would be among the top European teams by 2023. The scale of investment is relatively modest so if Scotland decides to go for it, will also be good for a resurgent Sunderland.

Around 1.5M people attended the last World Cup in Canada.
The average attendance was 26,000 and over 54,000 attended Canada v England.
Tonights opening game between France and South Korea, at the Parc des Princes, is a sell-out.
Check out some of the attendances at the men's World Cup before football became fashionable.
The 1990 semi-final v Germany wasn't even a sell-out.

I'm having a coffee in a lovely little square in Nice and it's an absolutely beautiful day. Laugh if you want man, but this is f***ing class. And I get to see Scotland at a world cup, which I'm really looking forward to.You haven’t gone to this?
Aye but that’s the norm that. Have you seen the goalkeepers?
The most successful professional leagues (are not in England tbh) draw about the same as League One or Championship in the EFL, so that is a weakness in the finances of the women’s game. There’s over reliance on the shine from the WC and Olympics to finance the internationals in each country. But the explosive growth of these two major events may be enough to sustain the sport.
Can't wait for Sweden.
Your prediction for England - Scotland?

The finances haven't been in place until now because the WSL is a relatively new competition.
Barclays are sponsoring it from next season: Women's Super League: Barclays agree multi-million sponsorship deal

Realistically England to win by a couple, but I think we have a chance of sneaking a draw. I'm going for an optimistic 1-1
Spelt Ingerland wrang there mind.

You could do that anytime. They’ll get beat as well so not all it’s cracked up to be.

Ah you're right, it's only worth supporting your team if they win. That's why I love this Manchester City message board.
