*must buy own whistle.

Another low in the last fifteen years.

What a way to treat people.

Shame on you Rovers.

Good that there’s a Head of Women’s Football though overseeing things down there… only snag no women allowed in.

Tim Farron has just called out Venkys in Parliament over the treatment of the Women's team whilst discussing the football governance bill 

[Tomphil2]

Their name must've been raised in Parliament more than any other club owners over the last 13 years it's no wonder they never show up over here.

Take a good look at what your season ticket money is supporting.

The Official website carrying on as though nothing had happened to the women

Is there  a go fund me or anything for this?

When you think about how we gave contracts to Ben Gladwin specifically so he could use our treatment room....

I heard today that the women's team may be withdrawing from the league altogether as they are struggling to raise a team I believe the open trials didn't go to well rumour has it only 11 turned up ,and most teams have already begun pre-season mathces

Unintended consequences.

Good - you'd be mad to play for this lot. They've shown their true colours.

I think we'll eventually get enough players to field a team, because there will be enough people who simply want to play football. But I can't see us attracting any players with any serious ambition, women's football a much smaller world than men's football and our name will be the sh*t on everyone's shoe in that sport right now, we'll be tainted for years by this We're probably going to be cannon fodder in whatever lowly league we're playing in.

How long until this is the story for the mens team?

Fixtures out today for the Women (hopefully we will complete them!).

I don't have any social media but the news article on the Rovers website doesn't actually give a list, just a summary, and the Fixtures page just contains a TBC note.

Since Rovers seemingly can't provide a list, I shall. All fixtures are 1400 on Sundays bar the League Cup ties v. Hudds (H) and Chorley (A, at Euxton Villa), and Chorley (H) in the League, which are midweek at 1945.

Give this lot another 15 years and somebody those names will become familiar on the mens fixture list.

Interesting that Doncaster Belles now play at Millmoor. A ground I thought was long turned into dust.

I park my car by Millmoor when I go to Rotherham away. You can walk up and peak through the gaps in the fencing and it's like a weird time warp, it looks like it is falling to bits, but I think it is still used frequently for local sports.
