Big game about to kick off for the gas girls vs 2nd
It they win they are all but a huge GD turnaround bound for promotion (if I’ve worked this out right)
Good luck and UTGG

2-1 win. Missed pen and a late winner all but guarantees the Gas Girls top spot. Great season! UTGG

Well done. Should the club finance the girls next season?

Sure I saw somewhere that the Sh1te women’s team had better crowds than us?
They lost 3-7 at home to Brighton today to confirm their position at the bottom of the WSL in front of 3468.

They are playing at a much higher level and have huge amounts of money put in. Gasgirls currently funded by sponsorship and the community trust. Maybe it's time for the club to be more supportive to the team that carries their name

Why not at least a parade around the pitch? |

What is the difference, in tiers, between gas girls and the 82 lot ?

It's good they are getting promoted but it's hard to get very excited about it with the level they are currently at. We should invest some good money into Women's football. It's a developing market and one that could bear fruit in the long run.

What is the difference, in tiers, between gas girls and the 82 lot ? Are we going from Tier 5 to Tier 4? City are dropping into the Championship, or Tier 2 is my understanding. Not sure where the glass ceiling is or how far we can go before significant investment is needed. According to Wiki, the pyramid is: WSL Championship National League Premier - North and South National League Division 1 - North, Midlands, South West and South East. All have 12 teams Tier 5 is 8 regional divisions Tier 6 is 18? regional divisions Then Tiers 7 to 12 are further sub divided. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_football_in_England |

What is the difference, in tiers, between gas girls and the 82 lot ? Rovers Women are currently in the South West Regional League - Premier Division, tier 5. City Women are in the Womens Super League, tier 1. So 4 tiers at the moment - but assuming City are relegated to the Women's Championship and Rovers promoted to the Women's National League Division 1 - South west, it'll be down to 2 tiers. |

Why not at least a parade around the pitch? They had this after their last promotion and I hope it happens again. What I'd like to see is another double header, like the FGR one we had a few seasons back, encourage a few fans to stay after the mens game and watch the Gas Girls |

Do you mean “We” being the fans of the men’s team paying extra with an additional tariff on tickets and merchandise etc or the owner expected to put his hand in his pocket and fund them? |

Wasn’t there mention at the recent supporters meeting that they would play at The Quarters?
Not sure how realistic that is in terms of facilities etc needed for Tier 4?
Not to mention the issue of spectators there.

Would you be happy for a small slice of the Rovers pot going to help the Gas Girls Eric ? Do you take a bit of pride in the GG’s getting promoted. Would you like to see them getting up to the Ted girls level and maybe beating them ? If you answer no to all those questions then that’s ok and your view. personally I like reading about their victories, chuffed they look like being promoted and want them to carry on improving. I hope one day soon to take along my daughter to watch them play. |
