A few questions for anyone in favour of an Altrincham ladies team in a proper league

1. Would you pay to watch ladies football at Moss Lane and if so how much?
2. What percentage of home games would you attend?
3. When would you want the games played?
4. Would you take it seriously or see it as just a bit of fun?
5. Would you want the ladies team run separately or do you see them as part of Altrincham FC?
6. What do you think the average home attendance would be?

1. Yes I would, probably anything up to 5 or 6 quid although I don't think that, initially at least matches would be at Moss Lane

2 Whatever percentage I could

3 Most Womens football is played on a Sunday afternoon

4 I'd take it seriously but then again I'm a real fan of Womens Footy

5 Definitely part of the Club

6 Initially quite small but with support and success I'd hope that it would increase over time.

curzon ashton ladies were in the premiership a few years back.

They were in the Northern Division of the Womens Prem. managed by Dave Ryan (ex Vics GK) now running away with the Combination

I think 300 is a bit optimistic. But if there is enough interest maybe it could be worth a try. Sundays would probably be the best option. If they want to be part of Altrincham FC they would have to play at Moss Lane and they would need to generate enough money to be self sufficient.

I think womens football is tremendous but lets make sure all the cleaning is sorted first, and meals prepared.  Then let them have a kickabout.

I was involved in the running of Chester City Ladies for about 9 years. 3 of those years was as Secretary. When I first started watching. They were bottom of North West Divsion 2 with only 1 point. They won 10 of their last 12 games to stay up that season. The club progressed by winning 3 promotions to reach the 3rd tier of the Women's pyramid( Northern Womens Combination), which included winning the North West Premier League title after 15 wins and 3 draws and including 15 clean sheets(which cost me a lot of money after I sponsored the club £10 a clean sheet).
At that time we had a good set up. We travelled by coach to the likes of Newcastle, Middlesboro and SC**thorpe. We produced our own programme and had regular reports in the local paper, plus a regular attendance of about 50 people which about 20 people would travel to away games. Also a few games were played at the Deva Stadium including a F.A. Womens Cup 1st Round tie against SC**thorpe which attracted 200 people paying a pound to get in.
 
Unfortunately the club are now struggling in the Northern Combination and they struggling for cash as politics has played a major part in the club not progressing plus the lack of involvement by Chester City Football Club.
 
The top 2 tiers of the Women's pyramid seem to be reasonable organised but lower down it is a bit Sunday league. I think it is too much to expect amater clubs to be expect to travel from Caenarfon to SC**thorpe or to Middlesboro or West Auckland in Durham.

If Alty did start up a Ladies team they would start in the Cheshire and Manchester league. I think there is a Broadheath Central team that plays in the Chester Girls League which has a U12's, a U14's and U16's league.

maybe a two games for one deal would encourage attendence e.g have a ladies team play before the men's team on a saturday might add to the bar takings?

very good idea. i think that this would increase bar takings and draw more people in with what would look like great value. if both teams loose and the football is as terrible as the men are playing at the moment then it may be better on paper than in real life.

plus if we could get a couple of girls who look this good then i'm sure the attendances would rise (insert your own crude joke)
