As a trust and supposedly family club do you not think equal opportunities matter if you work hard and reach the first team.At least you have moved on from aren't allowed, to share SJP, which again is false as they did play there last year in the cup against Buckland Athletic and probably wil again for a big match.
Before coming back on here bleating equality may I suggest you supply some facts to back up your claims. Facts like what crowds they are getting at the moment, be it at Cullompton and compare that to the recent attendance at SJP in the cup match. Perhaps somehow you could factor in how much this match could have been affectedf by being a cup match difficult I know, also how much the attendance should (not wild speculation) increase if they were to play @ SJP. Also facts about the running costs of putting on a match at SJP and what size crowd is needed to break even for a match. Perhaps to support your claims you could find a national study on the probable growth rate of women's football in this country (not America or France but the UK) over the next five years.
Also you may want to take into account the players opinions and views, it has already been mentioned that the team are quite happy playing at Cullompton. Have you ever thought that they really are and that they don't want to play in an empty stadium where the sound echoes and they would probably spend more time chasing about the stands retrieving the ball than playing.
Exeter City football club is a business and as it is trust run all of us members would hate to think that it is missing out on a profitable opportunity to make money, to support it's other community based projects and the teams so it would be interesting to read the FACTS that we are overlooking
Don't try speculation on the back of the women's world cup because basically that was the elite in the sport and to be perfectly frank was not very good, with too many missed passes and loose balls bouncing around. And probably now that it is over I doubt many people can remember more than five of the England squad
You say the women’s team are happy to play at cullompton rather than SJP I can tell you that is not completely true with all the players.
You also mentioned the women’s World Cup was not very good and of poor quality yet you support Exeter City and Not Manchester City.
I can also tell you that millions is being put into women’s football and big companies are queuing to come on board, Do you not think that some companies in Exeter would not want to support the women’s team playing at SJP of course they would and probably a lot more than you would think.
You mentioned the growth rate, Huge amount of new girls teams have started up for this coming season in this country and far more girls playing football outside of school than ever before.
As for the England players they are household names in a lot of homes and lovely people.
