Women in any sport is much worse than the men's version.
Will never work what ever they throw at it.
I blame the sod who let them vote in the first place.

I would curious to see the gate takings for major women's matches.
The impression is no one pays their own money to watch. It's all free tickets and cheap deals.
Like Spurs at Wembley.
Good luck to them but it's incomparable to men's football
Playing in the summer is a good idea. They have started up a women's version of AFL in Australia and are playing as a 2 month season before the men start in March.

I think it would get a bit more popular if the women played in bikinis.

Having refereed women's premier league matches I can confirm 2 things -
1) the level is no higher than local parks football
2) even with free tickets the crowd was about 50

The number of girls playing is going up every year. The technical level is improving every year. I predict a gradual increase in attendances, but nowhere near top level men's figures. Need a player like Messi who can dribble past everyone and score.

Football is historically a game of the working man, watched by the working man
It has fuck all to do with birds, its strength was the escape from the buggers for a couple of hours
The fact that a few fatty types and screaming lessers feel the need to abandon hockey and netball to squeal about a field chasing a ball is entirely their prerogative but it has sweet fuck all to do with the game proper and never will

You probably wouldn't even put womens football on a par with men's non league.Does piss you off the way they keep pushing it just for the sake of showing a bit of political correctness.You'll probably get sky in the next couple of years,showing the womens premier league and claiming lots are watching it,even if the viewing figures are really poor.Think they would even take a financial hit if it meant carrying on showing it.

If it ever were as good, they wouldn't need Women's football. they would play in the premier league. oddly, women never seem to complain about not getting a tryout

BBC PC nonsense.
It doesn't matter how much they promote it, splitarse football will never be popular because it isn't very good and nobody's interested in it.

They would get bigger crowds if they played in the summer where the men's football is resting.
