To be fair I think that’s a bit harsh? I’ve always found Keynsham Rovers post to be alright. Not sure if you're kidding Marshy, but for the avoidance of doubt, I didn't mean Keynsham Rovers! Whooooooooooosh! 😁. |

It sounds like we have one on this thread, I wonder what he would feel like if he took us daughter to a match and the same thing happened to her? I still hope he was "joking". Sadly, he's never given the impression previously he's that clever to be able to post in such a jokey manner. |

I was just trying to provide a little light entertainment in what has become quite a tense thread. 👍 |

When I was younger I had a some "groping" type experiences in football crowds, from bottom pinching to something a bit more unpleasant, which I certainly could have done without. Something in particular started to happen regularly when coming out of the ground in a crowd, but I could never see behind me to identify the perpetrator. After a couple of times, I asked my friend make sure she walked directly behind me all the way out. Nothing happened to her, and it was horrible to think that it was either somebody who was usually near to me in the ground, or somebody who waited to filter into the leaving crowd, so that they were behind me. I'd like to think that people are more aware now, and that it doesn't happen. I was about 17, and I think that girls these days would feel more confident about calling somebody out if it happened. With regard to verbal comments, either about appearance or knowledge of football, I soon developed a repertoire of put downs, which usually made the instigator look stupid in front of his mates. I can't recall anything nasty being said, so it was just the cut and thrust of holding your own with a witty response, which didn't particularly bother me - dare I say that it was actually quite fun at times. (I think I would be cancelled in this day and age!) The only time I was verbally abused at a football match, it was by a female Chelsea supporter. I wanted to like this comment, however I don't want to like the experiences that you have had. It is totally unacceptable. One question I do have for you is: "Do you think the Gas Girls should play under a different badge?".My personal opinion is no and I feel that somehow belittles the whole point of my game too. Maybe I have missed something and the teams in the WSL play under a different badge. I think the kit is fantastic and would love to see the Man's team play in that kit also. I think it sends a fantastic message. Actually I think their badge is pretty cool (designed by massive Gashead Tonz) and I see no reason why they shouldn't have their own one. I believe in their first season they played in a Rovers (mens) kit, but launched their own fab new kit last season with their own badge on - and it looked great! Really like the look of this season's kit too. I wouldn't like to speak on their behalf, but if I was them I think I would prefer we had our own kit/badge/sponsor/identity.. of course assuming the blue & white quarters on the home kit were non-negotiable  |

Tilly,I'm amazed you still came to games after what you experienced amounts to a physical assault,I'm not sure I would have the willpower to do so and yet there are still men around who think that's ok or even worse it's fair game that women should have to put up with such behavior. It makes me ashamed. A bit OTT |

Shame how a 'good' news story which you would think no one would have a gripe about can become a bit toxic.
Perhaps it's just a Question of some one playing devils advocate for the sake of debate? think you have to learn to separate the odd tongue in cheek post from the more divisive one, both are represented here IMHO, i can smile at the former and only raise an eye brow at the latter wondering if the poster really thinks like that or is as i said, just playing devils advocate, regardless ,good luck to the Gals who represent our favourite club!

Unfortunately some in this life are very much of the, “I’ve never heard or seen it so it definitely does not happen”, mentality. |
