Still a good attendance though - it`s one thing getting a free ticket but you`ve still got to shell out to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How the game survives financially is a mystery Why are you shocked by the attendances? Think about it for long enough and you will realise the attendances are actually pretty impressive. Standard has massively improved over the last few years and will continue to do so. The women's game will only continue to grow. I don't really understand the direct comparison with the men's game. The men's game has a lot more history and exposure. It's not really comparable. Calling the standard 'shit' is a bit immature. Should people not support their local men's team if the standard happens to not be very good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And as for the standard it's shit . And for attendances. They are poor. Answer me this . How does woman's football financially support itself. Look at Bristol city ladies. Average what 600 . Entrance fee a fiver . 30000 grand gate receipts. Nothing to do with being immature. It's to do with people pushing it and promoting it . Because it politically correct.

It's fantastic that the ladies are enjoying their football,and standards have indeed improved-the 'but' is I will likely be pushing up daisy's with a very fine bottle of malt beside me before the standard reaches such a point to be palatable for a serious watch...and I hope that's a while yet!
