Broad and Anderson are both legends - tbh once they're gone England's bowlers are just a bunch of chuckers

All relative isn’t it. It’s the equivalent of what happened for Australia when Warne and McGrath went

Good luck with what?

It's a decision that's been made so now it will happen, where's the luck needed?

There's a case as to why it doesn't make sense, based on relative popularity of the men's and women's game, but it's done now - I've no real issue with it tbh

Good luck with what?

With selling tickets for the women's game at the same price as men.
There's no way that would work in football.
I don't care, I'm not in to cricket, but it seems like a strange decision unless there's evidence that demand is the same in the men's and women's game. Is there?

I’ve no issue with it because it’s not coming out of my pocket. But it doesn’t make any sense and it’s a case of unequal outcomes in pursuit of equity. I don’t blame the women for chasing it, I blame the silly people who gave in to them.

It doesn't say anything about increasing ticket prices?

Ah. Fair do's. To be honest I misread it and thought it was talking about ticket prices

Women’s sport is progessing fast in the sports they weren’t previously acknowledged in or funded for.

As Gooners I think we should be proud that a May afternoon on bank holiday weekend was usually Arsenal winning the FA Cup. BBC2, no fans in the ground, and sometimes poor levels of play.

But nonetheless, Womens football (to a degree) is because of that, and because of our club holding it up high.

What’s not to like? It’s still a game of football, and if it keeps attracting a wider fanbase and roots interest, it’s going to be just as exciting to watch in ten years. Good on em.

That said, lets not have it whirlpool into kissing territory every time. Thats not sport, thats bollox
