Not a day for football as both teams really struggled to combat the wind, playing with or against it. With City beating the tims, it leaves us in comand with a six point lead. Should see us lifting the title as we seem to be that much better than those two this season. In fact it looks like a treble for us this season. Whoa, hold your horses! A double certainly looks on the cards which is a good return in itself- but a treble would be utterly historic*. *historic for us, that is. GC have won treble about a hundred times.

Wullies_bowly_legs 3,853 Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Watched the Hearts game last night and it was a bit like watching the men. All over Hearts but couldn’t add to the one goal which made a nervy last 20 mins. The Hearts ladies manager is a bit of a looker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick thistle are absolutely the surprise package of the season. A lot of decent and experienced players at this level like Clare Docherty, Kodi Hay and Carla Boyce, not to mention a good coach who knows what he’s doing. I’m a fan of Lucy Sinclair. She was excellent for Hamilton last season and had a good game today in the middle of the park. Think she may have played for us at youth level.

Jelavic18 642 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 CLUB STATEMENT: Rangers VS celtic Women IT is with regret that all tickets purchased by celtic FC supporters for Sunday’s match at Ibrox have sadly had to be cancelled. Intelligence received by Rangers and celtic on Thursday suggested groups of ‘risk’ supporters in a significant number had purchased tickets from the celtic allocation. Rangers called an urgent operational meeting between both clubs and Police Scotland, with Police Scotland indicating they would need to deploy a sizeable resource at short notice as opposed to it initially being a police-free fixture. Rangers is committed to ensuring there are away supporters at our matches for both our men’s and women’s teams. However, a unique selling point of the women’s game is the unsegregated, family-friendly atmosphere, with many children attending these matches. Taking all of that into account, Rangers’ security team decided it would be unsafe to allow these ‘risk’ supporters into the stadium, and with celtic unwilling to cancel just their tickets, the decision to cancel all tickets was taken. Rangers have informed celtic, the SWPL and Police Scotland of our decision. LINK Amokachi, Assegai and Blue Nosed Babe 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyal72 11,759 Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 It reads like GB were trying to buy up tickets and our fans were buying tickets in the same sections after finding out.

There's no segregation at the women's matches. Fans get to effectively sit where they want, GB and that lot buying tickets in large numbers in beside Rangers supporters is what the danger was. Would've required all the tickets to be cancelled anyways to introduce segregation and mass scale policing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is soft segregation at these games, you do have allocated sections. Celtic were given a section of the Govan to sell to their own fans that our fans can’t buy in. But there’s no police line etc normally at OF games and no seg in the concourses and due to tickets being given away to schools you normally get a few mixed in with each other. If the Green Brigade turned up in that Celtic allocation in numbers then we would have had to pay for a large policing presence, something which is not needed at normal OF women’s games and isn’t something that either club will want going forward. Women’s football is heavily subsidised so having policing at games will make it completely unsustainable. Loyal72 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

See when you look at it that way, not to turn this into another argument or debate, but is the women's team viable in the long run if it can't have the same fans in attendance, heavy policing etc cause the costs would outweigh it?

Need to design to grow towards that. At the moment things like ticket prices don’t include the cost of policing like a men’s ticket would. As attendances grow and you need policing I’d imagine that will get factored in. But women’s football is marketed differently to men’s. It’s about encouraging families to come, which is a unique selling point for us because it’s basically impossible now for families to go to Ibrox and sit together. That’s the type of support they want to encourage as it’s low risk and security and policing costs will be lower. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they had shown up they would've ran away again anyway shouting at the polis to protect them. Just shows you how worried they are about us under Big Phil.

True, it's one to keep an eye on going forward if it actually establishes its own sort of audience and if the growth supports it. I've got in my head a sort of concert type audience/atmosphere as opposed to a regular football crowd is what I imagine this looks like on a bigger scale.

Both teams have regular home and away fan groups that sing. It’s all focused on players and the clubs though, you don’t hear any political or religious songs.
