FJT Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Agreed- interesting point Fleeting made.

Thomshow Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 3 hours ago, ri Alban said: Let the women fund and run their own organisation. Equality and all that. Women's football kept the game alive during the first world war, when female munitions workers used to have factory teams and attract huge crowds. In 1921, the FA got all antsi about the fact that they were still hugely popular and banned female teams from playing on FA grounds - or rather threatened teams with expulsion from the FA if they allowed female teams to play on their grounds. I'm not sure about the situation in Scotland, but these two sites give some history for the situation in England:http://www.thefa.com/womens-girls-football/history http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/33064421/the-secret-history-of-womens-football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two things are certain in life between the three of paying taxes, death, and Fleapit having an absolute screeching breakdown whenever someone bashes womens football.
