Another fab win ladies

Looking at how well Southampton ladies are doing, they are currently second in the championship, then surely it is time the champions of each section were granted automatic promotion. I think Wolves ladies would be comfortably holding their own in the higher division.

Seems a bit more of a competitive league this year with Forest and Burnley keeping pace.

Re your last sentence I'm not so sure. Quite a few teams in the women's Championship are professional, including Saints. We are not and indeed some of our players actually signed for us on that basis.

I absolutely agree your comments about promotion though.

Are they all available on Wednesday evening and Saturday evening?

The gap between the Championship and the regional leagues, as well as the disparities between standards and particularly club set ups between North and South, are precisely the reason why there is not automatic promotion from both feeder leagues.

Interestingly the Shrewsbury game has been capped at 250 & sold out inside a day but no audio commentary from Wolves because of the venue... Shame for the fans that more can't make it or listen to the game.

They play fast attacking football and always score hatfuls and concede little quite the opposite of the men’s team at the moment

Glad I didn't watch that, I hate those nail-biting too close to call games, must of been sweating on the result the last few minutes, they couldn't even make it to 20

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I don't think that kind of scoreline does anyone any favours. The Wolves Ladies would have learnt nothing and their poor opponents must be totally demoralised.

To be fair Womens football is treated as one big joke by the FA. If it’s not the WSL they don’t really care.

However Womens football in this country is the equivalent of a castle built on sand with the bricks being loaned from a rival castle.

There is no funding going into the lower leagues and WSL clubs are being funded by the egos of the owners of the mens sides. Once the Womens teams have to start paying to use the mens stadiums they won’t be able to charge £5 a ticket and will be back to a few hundred fans each week. Their wage bills already exceed their income!!!

Look at Wolves for example I’d love to know what their win percentage is over the last 4 seasons. They've also only had one “promotion” in that time and even then they had to apply for it. They play in a league where even the team who finishes top probably won’t go up. Hardly very entertaining for the rest of the teams in that league who are in the top half.

Womens football is still light years behind mens football and nothing will change until the FA wake up, stop believing the hype from one Euros win and actually revamp the pyramid of the Womens league to make it a bit more exciting

Agreed but that’s what happens when you put an amateur club against professionals in any sort of environment

Wolves aren’t professional either

Semi pro still a big gap

To be fair to Chelmsley they are second bottom of the Birmingham County div 1, 6 levels below Wolves, they would have known they would get beaten heavily but still opted to play despite a lot of teams in that situation conceeding those sort of games. Give Chelmsley some credit, a big day for them playing a team like Wolves and despite the score they will have thouroughly enjoyed the day.

Really interesting pod on the game against Chelmsley here...

Also don't forget that Wolves Women are at home (New Bucks Head) on Sunday (14:00 KO) in the FA Cup against Northampton - should be a much closer game...

A good win for the ladies today. 5 - 0 against Northampton.

 

[Frank Lincoln]

I don't know if it is correct, but I have read that there were 28,000 spectators at St. James park this afternoon to watch Newcastle women v Barnsley women. The attendance is a record for a women's FA cup game outside of the final.

Fantastic tie! Need subsidised coach travel for record attendance and a very good chance of progress!

I wonder if they will break 30,000 for the game. It's got to be a possibility. More important though, it is a game that our Ladies will have a great chance of winning.

 

[NAG]

Will be interesting to see if Newcastle do want to play the game at SJP or Kingston Park (normal home ground) noting they nearly lost the previous round against Barnsley (1-0 down for a large chunk of the game).... Hope that Wolves put on coaches because it would be good to have a large crowd there... Also might be on the BBC Website/FA Player as it one of the games of the round!!

 

[NAG]

Another day another Cup draw....

The defence of the County Cup see's us head to Boldmere St Michaels on 18th December - we played them in the SF's last season.... We won 5-0 and some great goals:
