Famous 1874 Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 The best thing women’s football could do would be to use 5 a side goals instead of 11s. Play on smaller pitches too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samuel Camazzola Posted November 19 Share Posted November 19 It is good to see the interest increase and participation grow but I do feel the size of the pitch does hinder the quality of the product. I have seen girls/women take part in training drills and small-side games where their skill is evident. However, with the extra exposure the games have been getting in recent years, I haven't seen many that have been too entertaining. A smaller scale pitch would definitely help with this. There is also a gap in the market for a Tennent's Sixes style tournament which could be a success (as long as the carpet fitters from the recent Master's tournament are not hired!). The pitch size was also evident in a recent Rangers v Hearts youth cup final where the quality was dire and the boys from both sides looked lost on the big park.

Australis Posted November 20 Share Posted November 20 43,000 at yesterday's Manchester women's derby match. It's certainly taking off. Crowds most mens teams could only dream off.

No international football clashing. Perfect opportunity for a bumper crowd. Not checked but I’m certain the tickets were cheap. No excuses for Hearts (and hibs) fans not to treat this like any other weekend. So I’m sure what else the clubs/authorities can do to attract support.

But i expect every hearts and Hibs season ticket holder was aware of it and knew how little it cost. That's approx 25k supporters of the clubs who could have gone, and taken a newbie with them.

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted Saturday at 13:26 Share Posted Saturday at 13:26 Quick question for those who go to the women’s games. Is it first come first serve for seating? Any need to get there early?

Kalamazoo Jambo Posted Sunday at 18:47 Share Posted Sunday at 18:47 Solid performance, easy win in the end Some good goals, the Hamilton goal was a brilliant lob although I’m annoyed we lost the ball in the first place for their goal. Nice to get to a game in person, with proper miserable Scottish weather, and Kalamazoo Jr got her photo taken with Sade at the end so have a happy child.

Hamilton goal was scored by my wife's cousins daughter Mason who is on loan from Rangers and believe it or not is a massive Celtic fan.
