Good luck to the Gas Girls this afternoon.
I hope they have a bit of a run and get to play at the Mem.
With Sunday lunches on offer in hospitality, a home third round (or equivalent) home draw could earn them some decent money.

Thought you lived in Weston ? Don't offend me. Portishead has gone massively downhill then since I left if they’re letting the likes of you live there ! 🙄😂 |

3-1! When do the big clubs enter? R3? Isn’t it about time we started chucking a bit of money into the women’s team ? Failed to get promoted last yr and not guaranteed this season . Yet we’re playing Portishead town ladies in the cup who are a league above us . |

Finished 3-1 to the Gas Girls…. Round 2 here we come … amazing achievement considering it’s ran entirely by the Community Trust and therefore relies entirely on CT staff volunteering their time on top of their day jobs and being funded by local businesses sponsoring them each season so they can actually take part in the league…. They’re not guaranteed but have a great chance on promotion this season and that puts them at a level equivalent to League 2 in the men’s pyramid… not bad for an amateur, unpaid volunteer ran team…if there are any business owners out there who are interested in sponsoring the girls, feel free to PM me and I can put you in touch with the right person at the Community Trust 👍

Yet we’re playing Portishead town ladies in the cup who are a league above us . Why would the football club fund something that isn’t ran by them? You’d need the CT to agree to letting the club run the ladies side for this to happen |

How much say does the football club have in the projects that the Community Trust undertakes? I assumed it was up as high as 80% to 90%. |

In fact, aren't Rovers likely to have more resources than those around them already, with the pulling power of the name? |

Reality is that there are some teams in the league the Gas Girls are in who pay their players - the Gas Girls are not paid, also in terms of facilities and resources, the Gas Girls don’t get anything from the club - all of the resources that are provided are provided by the Community Trust who are a Charity separate from the club but affiliated to it… there are other league affiliated clubs in their League (Forest Green being one) and in Bristol, we have to compete against SGS (who have a huge pull because of their academy) and also Bristol City… When we missed out on promotion last season, they lost a number of players to other teams in the same and higher leagues as our girls pay their own way and don’t get paid… the only advantage they get is that the sponsorship means that they get kit and training kit provided and don’t have to pay for training each week… so they don’t have much of an advantage if any in comparison to the rest of their league… None of the coaching staff are paid etc to run the team or help out… |

Surely, that has to change to enable the Gas Girls to progress. |

Not a single team in tier 5 pay players,even tier 4 it's a very select few, i know these leagues very well as coach currently in tier 5 |
