Sadly people don’t seem to get that to raise that bar money has to be spent and investment made. City can not be knocked for this. I have seen a lot of negative comments in different media outlets about City Women and a lot come from males. What would a man know about he struggles of being a women footballer. I can imagine that the guys that made these comments could play football for there school team or a local club side when they were growing up?
In the 80s when I was a child there was no where for me to play, girls were not allowed to play in school teams and there were no girls teams around. Can you imagine being the most talented player in your school and not being allowed to play? What City are doing now will allow young girls to look up and see a professional women’s team that they can aspire to play for. I never had that chance as a child growing up to do this. I didn’t get to play a proper game of football with a kit on a proper pitch until I was 12. Women’s football has definitely progressed and moved on since the 80s….
It was really shocking to me when I first heard this from a friend that co-worker that moved over from England. He has two daughters and they couldn't believe the opportunities his girls had to play here. At my son's club I think the ratio is 2.5 girls for every boy playing.
Will any of your games be shown anywhere?
