[Football] WSL: Chelsea v Liverpool is called off after six minutes due to frozen pitch

[PILTDOWN MAN]

That clearly is the case. Tho why not open a tiny wee section of the stadium, with an equally tiny wee provision for catering and stewarding?

I expect that due to the public being allowed all the areas have to be manned to a degree, even if there's only one stand open.

Well this should not be a reflection on the WSL. This is all on the referee (a bloke, Paul Howard) deeming the pitch playable in the first place.

Amateur hour.

Absolutely staggering he allowed it to start, players literally unable to stand up

Yes, joke of a decision. Just glad nobody was seriously hurt.

That's funny to watch.

The template existed a decade ago. First ever game at the Amex was the Sussex Senior Cup final between BHAFC and Eastbourne Borough

It is, but given the much higher incidence of things like ACL ruptures in the women’s game already, it was a monumentally stupid decision to play

I genuinely hope womens football continues to progress but all these gripes about wages, facilities, under ground heating etc drives me mad. I think average gates are between 1 and 3k. and TV income is relatively small. Like Albion clubs have put huge resources in to get it going. When it starts to attract bigger gates and bigger interest from sponsors etc is the time to expect more. Interesting to know what Albions Womens section income is.

Assuming this went ahead due to the fact it was being shown by BBC so FA felt need to continue.

And only allow a tiny number of toilets for a tiny wee

Brightons game also called off

Who knows the potential interest while home games take place in Crawley. Fair play to the club for facilitating a WSL team, but why not go all-in on hosting home games at the Amex?

In all seriousness why not make it a summer sport? It would get more support.

You stated the template and I stated the cost of said template, thank you.

There’s a discussion to be had perhaps but I guess one issue would then be the pitches and the rest of the ground infrastructure being used all year round and not getting the usual summer maintenance/returfing etc (plus pitches being too hard/dry if not watered).

Perhaps TB needs to buy a local ground like Chelsea have.
