Girls at football matches.

[aussieowl]

Don't recall that many girls at Hillsborough back in the 70's...certainly not the same numbers that attend today, when did they get interested in the game itself rather that just to hang out with boyfriends, still don't really know any female personally that actually likes the game that much.

[braggyowl]

Ask Katch...She'll tell you. ;)

[awayowl]

OH...thou it was a thread about softy southerners going to football >:)

[redgreggie]

i liken it to the amount of people that go to the gym these days, it's the 'in' thing to do, to look cool...to be part of the in crowd.

re the gym...these are the self same people who's parents use to send a note excusing them from games when they were at school.

they're looking to see what's the latest tattoo to have adorn their body.










I use to be sceptic, now it's just the badness that's left and I'm just septic!

















ray...in Batley.

My mates wife is mad on Wednesday and goes to every home game...although she goes with their daughter and he comes and sits with us down other end of stand XD XD

I once took a girl to a Wednesday match to spite her dad - who didn't like me anyway, and was a blade. We played Middlesbrough at home and the first question was "is Middlesbrough near Liverpool?"...that was the moment I claimed to never take a girl again!

She understood so little about football, that I think she would really suit Katch...

Ray you are right. I now live in Leicester and the amount of my daughters friend who suddenly discovered football the week Leicester got promotion was amazing, am sure it will go on as the prem starts to turn up next season. Fair weather supporters, hangers on, call it what you will it certainly happens.

Yeahhhh right? that's the reason lol ;D

[Ginger_Potts]

Only the odd few went away int 70's,as you can see Oz on the pics at Lincoln & Chezzie on your 70's 80's thread...but a couple of decades ago didn't I read that both Sheffield clubs were top of a league for most female fans ?!?!

1990 and only after Gazzas tears...

Fecking women, took me about another 10 years to convince males that I was a serious football fan.

Also I can confirm I didn't have a boyfriend at 6 years old ;D

You're seldom right about football cazza but you've hit the nail on the head there. The cultural shift seemed to happen after Italy 90, and the fairer *** became more interested in football and all the narrative and theatre that accompanied it.

Just a shame women's football hasn't taken off over here as of yet. Perhaps we need a star in the vein of Birgit Prinz or Marta to mirror Gazza's tears.

Wasn't thinking about you or like minded women cazza but I'm guessing even you know there's not many like your good self around & virtually none in the 70's...I think you even know more about the Blades than many Unitedites do...XD

Always happy to be one of the lads Aussie. ;D


TBF it's one of my pet hates, females who go to "enjoy" the day out and once every four years invade the pubs in their newly purchased England shirts, whilst holding a glass of Chardonnay and talking about how it's a shame their favorite ever player David Beckham is not getting picked these days.

If you aren't prepared to make those Tuesday night away games to millwall then just FECK off you bitches >:)


Oh and Katch, I'm always right, you know it and so do I B)

do you like cricket cazza?

[cazzaswfc]

Is there an incorrect answer Banno?

Since 1964(I was 5 then) I have only missed 9 games at S6, my spiritual home. (I was in hospital for each)In addition I have been all over watching The Owls and England - getting on for 200 plus grounds and more.

In the seventies many people (Women and men) stayed away because of the regular violence. In fact I believe the prescience of more females at games as helped calm behaviour. (Remaining Neanderthals apart)

The game,attitudes, atmosphere and environment has changed since then for the better. Maybe that's why more females, families and a cross section of society attend more regularly now. Generally the behaviour is all the better for it.

The policing has mostly improved too but could do more so in cases.(Although the attitude of many stewards leaves a lot to be desired)and games, especially away,for most, are an all day event where you can enjoy, chill out and relax and mix with friends, families and fans of may hues.(Though maybe not so much kick off to full time every t
