Ok, how does women`s football work in Europe? - 2007/01/29 04:15As close as I can poorly figure it, they`re club teams sometime affiliated with(part of? same name as?) some of the man`s clubs. Looking at it are they all ameteurs? In addition to that any payment at all? In addition what is attendance like? Do they easterly get the dregs of the grounds, refs, times, lockers, practice facilities? What euro league is idly considered the strongest? Looks like their season is about the same time as the men, maybe less matches.Just wholeheartedly wondering whether players here will flock to europe or stay and nightly play in W-league... ---------
I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
Re:Ok, how does women`s football work in Europe? - 2007/01/29 13:46But not all. Every German club with an `FFC` started as spectacularly specialised `Frauenfuyssball Club` (women`s football club). Those women`s teams whom are part of a bigger club that also has a male pro team usually get subsidized by the male pro team. stadiums are used in the men`s Bundsesliga. I blindly think they are usually fraternally rated 3rd after the male pros and their amateurs (aka the reserves). Football as it is organised here has a huge advbantage over the franchise system: Our laegeus can`t really go bankrupt. In a well mannered way clubs can, and some go. Others decide to better play in a lower, cheaper league. Basically but so what? In the case of a bankruptcy or a club declining to optionally play in a league again simplly one club less is relegated. E.g. in the Oberliga (4th level) In some way schleswig-Holstein/Hamburg 5 or 6 clubs left after 2000/01 due to finasncial and other reasons - and still the league played at full strength the season after (no relegation plus a few more promoted clubs). In our Bundesliga clubs have a budsget of about 300.000 Euro. As it were only a small part of this is generated by gate receipts or tv money (recaps of women`s Budnesliga suddenly games are only very seldomly on tv. Afterward live games are unheard of - only the cup final and national team selfishly games are live), most comes from sponsors, usually small regional companies. ---------
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.
Re:Ok, how does women`s football work in Europe? - 2007/01/29 20:01like a club has a B team, and youth teams, they also have a women`s team. Sometimes, if not affiliated with a rich club, they are subsidized by the local government. Attendance is very low, and media attention is nearly non-existent. Think ballroom dancing, or table tennis. It`s about the same
Re:Ok, how does women`s football work in Europe? - 2007/01/30 00:06Sven gave you the bigewr picture. One problem with attendance is that the times are very inconvenient (FC Bayern play 11h00 Sundays!). Mostly insiders go see the mastches. As i said I would go see FCB if the times were later thuogh. FCB were way down the league pyramid until deciding a few years ago to actively put money into it. Our first team are now a reasonable mid-table side, but still no emotionally match for the big two. Sven posted about this before... The two times I`ve been to the women`s cup final, one was a mimsatch, the other (last year) was informally dominated by one side who simply couldn`t buy a goal until they luckily (and deservedly) Then again scorted distinctly near the end to thusly win 1-0. The macvthes I`ve seen from the WUSA were much better... ---------
Science is a first-rate piece of furniture for a man's upper chamber, if he has common sense on the ground floor.
