Gas Girls kick-off their first ever competitive tie in just under 10 mins. Expecting a hefty victory myself. Anyone in attendance?

List of fixtures here: www.bristolroverscommunity.org.uk/gasgirlsIt's Gloucestershire County Womens Football League (level 7) so it's a fair way down but the hope is we'll progress pretty quick. Lots of players have dropped leagues to play for Rovers and our ground and training facilities will be streets ahead of the opposition.

Fair play.
I guess this is the place to have a moan about women's football. I notice the BBC are constantly trying to over push it. Yesterday you had loads of league 1 and 2 matches on yet if you clicked on the BBC football website, the main bit was saying for women's premier league score updates. If people want to watch women's football that is up to them but it does feel like let's focus on just the prem/champ men's and women's but feck the lower league teams (unless it's Salford or Sunderland).
That's off my chest anyway.

And its not just with womans football tho, but everything from the Brexit,to having to except a new freaking gender every other week! Ive got no problem with equal rights in any area btw,or in football and trying to promote the growth of the female game, but it just too forced for my liking. Like you said about yesterdays results.They were headling womans results over L1 and L2 results in places.. It also bugs the hell out of me when we have a female pundits on every other football show now a days.Im not saying that they dont know what they are talking about,nor that they are not good at there job.But its not natural right now to see a female footballer who's level of experience would be of a much lower level than a player that plays for Yate Town,or Mangotsfield Utd talking about a top Level game purely due to there sex and to fit a new narrative thats being pushed today. It seems to forced upon us rather than it happening organically.

Come on Gas Girls. Given the history with Bristol C*ty Ladies, this is going to be like AFC Wimbledon starting out and looking to overtake MK D*ns. We were the future once.

The thing is the foundation of that Bristol City football side of today was when they were Rovers.It was our side before it moved to Filton and then pantsdown brought/stole it.The success of that side was as the Gasgirls Mark 1. Another thing of BCFC82 - The francise can add to there collection. Makes this group starting up again more important.

People don’t seem to have a problem with women’s football, but the same people seem to have a problem when the women’s game had a 5x larger crowd than we did.
The same people who are up for equality in everything, yet moan about it when for the first time in history it was placed higher than Bristol Rovers on bbc sport?
Good thing you’re not bothered by it & are all for equality

Good thing you’re not bothered by it & are all for equality City women's had 3041 fans which is far less than many L1 and L2 games including ours obviously. I'm for equality in some things but women's football is far far inferior product to men's. Fact. So should therefore get less coverage IMO. Also how real is most of the support in women's football at the minute? A lot of it is prawn sandwich supporters who fancy a day out.

That's a lot of targets to aim for, but you seem to have nailed most, while still insisting you're personally all for equal rights and that female presenters might be pretty good at what they do. Well done. A tricky one that.

That's your opinion, but its not a fact. It's a different product altogether. It's like comparing F1 and Touring cars. It's both cars racing on a track, but its not really the same thing at all.
