"Complaints having been made as to football being played
by women, the council feel impelled to express their strong
opinion that the game of football is quite unsuitable for
females and ought not to be encouraged.“
(FA Resolution 1921, cited by http://www.furd.org/default.asp?intPageID=247 not available)

positive
 Stereotypical views
 “I can’t really see women in football. I don’t like to say
it but that’s how it is”
(Gattuso 2013, cited by BBC Sport 2013)

11.  Wages
 Fame
"Most British people could name a male football star whether or
not they consider themselves to be enthusiasts of the sport. The
majority of self-confessed football fans could not name a female
player”
Williams (2013, p.1)
 Ticket Prices
 Attendance
 Recognition of achievement – Glasgow City

12.  In conclusion, women’s football has come a
very long way since the early days but it still
has very far to go. I believe women’s football
will never receive the same recognition as
men’s football but it will always remain
unique.
