I can’t stand the way the club tweets about the team it’s so bloody patronising 

“Despite a huge effort and battling performance with some good spells the game ends in defeat.

Wythenshawe 2 - 0 Rovers”

Sounds like Ismael's pressers when we lose 2-0, at least that's in alignment with the men's team.

As ever

I’m not going to knock anybody who’s prepared to turn out in those circumstances. It’s easy playing for a winning team.

Oh absolutely - take my hat off to every one of them

Just the 3-2 loss away at Huddersfield Town Women today. 59 in attendance apparently.

Getting there.... Slowly but surely we will get a point. 

 

Admire anyone that goes and even more the players.

I did have a look at going today but they play out in the back of beyond near Emley Moor and I don't drive so that put paid to that. Hopefully get to see them at Stockport in January.

At least their matches are not being abandoned.

Away to Cheadle Town stingers this weekend - we suffered a 2-0 loss against them. This was our first game in this new league. 

They sit 4th having Won 7 Drawn 1 and Lost 2

[StHelensRover]

Rock bottom of the 4th division without a single point. 

They were deliberately relegated two divisions and it's very soon about to be 3 divisions.

(Edit- I dunno whether there's relegation this low down the women's pyramid. I'm guessing the damage is so catastrophic that they won't recover from this for years, our name is complete mud in the women's game, we're more likely to fold).

Is that what our owners think of providing opportunities to young women in the sport? 

Our billionaire owners who love our club.

Looks to be 2 tiers below them, goes to regional level. 

Tier 5 - North West Regional Football League, Prem division

Tier 6 - North West Regional Football League Div 1

Thanks for confirming. I think I meant automatic relegation but forgot to be specific. 

Even if we aren't automatically relegated, these horrible owners will probably ask for us to be relegated again at least one more division to 'find our level', we'll soon be running round on public parks playing against pub teams.

After 12 games we’ve got our first point!

Fought back from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 late on
