My daughter has been involved in Girls football for 6 years and I have heard many MALE FA represenatives giving rousing speaches regarding Womans/Girls but it always seems to be lips service. She was lucky and played in a team of girls that played at Wembly four years ago she was 8 years old and out of 500 kids there was one all girls team and about three teams that had a girl in the team. We were at a girls football festival which was attended by a 1966 world cup player who was showing his support for girls football and gave a great speach and then was asked to name three members of the then womans England squad who were then playing in the world cup, and guess what he could not name one. This shows that the FA give girls football lip service and no more. The FA should realise the world has moved on and they should join it. Instead of the ussual jobs for the boys attitute which unfortunatly most of these institutions have.
Why does it have to be a girls or boys C O E why can't the clubs run both under one licence for boys and girls, ok that would mean the centres being larger but the structure that is required must be near enough the same for both.
