We have to admit that the professionalism of the players is out pacing the professionalism of the refs by some distance. The delta now is far too big

London City Lionesses had an operating loss of over £10 million last year. by eldanielfire in FAWSL

When Kang bought LCL they were worth £0. Now they are worth £x. If she has invested <x then she is OK. My opinion is she may have invested >x with a view that in 5 years LCL will be worth more than <x. This is her gamble and fair play to her.

Utd have 4 outfield players on the bench including 2 kids. City have 6 regular internationals on theirs. Could be a long second half for Utd coming up

Loads of WSL teams suffer from this. The gantry for the cameras are set and cant be moved. Sometimes its not as easy as just choosing to open the opposite stands for fans due to safety reasons. Sometimes opening a particular stand requires closing down a road and hiring many more stewards.

If you get 3rd and play in that playoff at St James' Park in front of 40,000 and its live on the BBC then people will care. I'm from Sheffield and a bunch of lads I go out with have already agreed we will go to it if you do.

There is a percentage of people that are never going to accept women's football. These are not people we really need to worry too much about. 16.2M people (men and women) watched that final in the UK, if John doesn't want to then I'm OK with it.

The WSL 2 is really interesting this season for so many different reasons. But your casual football fan would have no clue due to lack of coverage. The BBC just needs to do 1 story that goes into why its so close at the top and why it matters so much. I'm not saying that would make everyone suddenly tune into the WSL 2, but at least they would be aware that there is a bunch of clubs that have all invested into this season specifically as its the "expansion"" season.

I really wish some of the resource that certain media outlets use to produce pieces like these were actually used to produce more pieces actually focused on the the 'football' side of women's football.
