[Football] Brighton Ladies Team

[The Birdman]

They done very well they have a seven year plan to get into Europe I'll make an effort to watch a couple of games
Well done the club and our ladies team

 

[Hamilton]

Brighton Gentlemen's Team have done well too.

Brighton Gentlemen's Team have done well too.

Quite.

It's not 'PC gone mad' or pedantry but... they are the Brighton & Hove Albion Women's team. It's a women's team playing in the Women's Super League.

That said, getting to Crawley is a ballache for me - it was so much easier at Lancing. Ah well, Crawley here I come.

That is the problem. I would genuinely go to watch them if it was 10 miles away but 30 miles before and now is too far. I will follow their progress on Twitter and will retain an interest but it isn't quite high enough up on my interest scale to make a 4-5 hour commitment to watch a game.

When do the fixtures come out, plan on taking the daughter to a few games this season.

Does that mean some games will be played on the Saturday? I'd love to see more games but Sunday fixtures are a pain for me

Thanks, can't wait

 

[Hamilton]

Yep, I'm definitely going along to support the women's team this year.

Anyone who pulls on the stripes represents BHA and they'll get my support.

The club did run a free bus service from coastal towns when Brighton played Doncaster Belles last season. I'd hope they'd do the same this season.

I still can't understand why Brighton & Hove Albion Ladies FC have been consigned to the dustbin of Crawley! As a none driver it is a total pain to get to, particularly on a Sunday. Hopefully the club, having taken the decision that they have to play at Crawley, will lay on some transport so we can get to the games to support them.

One of the criteria in WSL1 is that the stadium has to have a minimum capacity of 5000 which Lancing doesn't have.

I would like to think that one or 2 of the higher profile games (ie Chelsea/Arsenal/Man City etc) will get played at the Amex but whether that happens or not remains to be seen.

First season with all professional clubs in the Women's top division. Should be higher quality football.

Never been.. No interest....Mens Football 98% of spectators Men....Are Womens game spectators 98% women ?

If you look at the sports where women are very much considered equal to men in terms of status, they tend to be ones where they compete side by side on the same ticket - e.g. tennis, athletics etc.

I think what clubs need to look at to really boost women's football is double headers. Obviously protecting the pitch is the concern, but that seems to be becoming much less of an issue at top grounds these days. If the women were to kick off at 12 at the Amex on a match day where the men were kicking off at 3pm, and it was included on the ticket, I think a lot of people would come early and watch.

I believe they dress to the left, as one should.

Ah! What fun there would be when the sprinklers come on before the boys game.

Let's hope one day they will play at the Amex in front of 30,000+
