I'm getting really worried Bristol City closing, now Charlton. Now im not sure if teams in the Premier league do, but my 2 local ladies teams i watch & they play in stadiums at quite a high level, dont charge to get in, me for one wouldnt mind paying to get in as it would give the clubs much needed money.
On top of this The power to be at the FA in charge of Womens Football decided to close centre of excellences down right at the last minute, as there were to many in the south & not enough in the north of england. Fair enough i could see her point, but ive just read luton who can only want to play around 8 games next season & nottingham forest have just been granted centres, well thats really northern, this person said it would be places such as
Liverpool & manchester.
Having met this person & seen what has happened im worried about this person being in charge, this person who we questioned on decisions, could'nt answer alot of them & did their best to dodge round them.
Also, they decide to raise the age limit to access womens football, which i think is a good idea, but the girls finish in centres at U16, i questioned this as to were the goes go & shouldnt an U18s section been created first, the reply was we are creating U17 leagues at grassroots level for them, how many girls will go missing, many in my opinion, how many scouts will travel round looking at these girls, very little.
Also this person does has she sort of admitted she doesnt really want men in womens football coaching girls, yes i can see her point in a way, but i love coaching girls, yes i only got into coaching girls through my daughter, but i can tell you I never want to go back to coaching boys.
Rant over, sorry im just passionate about the game.
