Ive just read a post on Facebook , not noticed if it has been mentioned on here , but it certainly needs bringing to peoples attention . The Ladies from Stoke City Ladies will be outside the ground raising funds to keep going , apparentley they need 10k a year to survive and they are not funded at all by SCFC !! 10k a year Mr Coates ?? surely my club can afford that , we have just paid Mr Palacios how much ? to sit on his big fat lazy arse for 3 years. One months of his wages would keep the Ladies going for at least 12 years ffs . I never knew that they were not funded by the club , and this will be bought up with Mrs Smith on Knot FM tomorrow . So if you are at the match today and see any ladies with buckets ( the plastic sort lol ) at last these girls wear the shirt , something Palacios,Davies,Tonge Shea and quite a few more never did !!!

I can't get my head around how our club is run sometimes.  Hopefully, I'll see them and drop a few quid in the buckets. Would it be an idea to also set up a Just Giving site - or use the one which is being used to raise money for the Blackpool pensioner who has fallen foul of the Oystons? |

I suspect it is the sort of thing that as a club you either need to finance properly (like Arsenal and Liverpool) or don't do at all.
It's no good going at something like this with the ladies involved half-cock.

The Ladies can't even have a shirt sponsor unlike other teams in their league as they have to use the Stoke Strip. I would prefer that they do wear Bet365 on the shirts rather than the local chip shop but it does take away a funding source which the opposition benefit from.
Stoke do provide some good support through allowing the girls to use the training facilities which some other teams don't get but the pitches and match officials still have to be paid so fundraising is a vital part of running the club.

Its seems strange that they can get a mention on the official club page , when they reach Cup finals and get Promotion , and yet no financial backing off the club . AND yet , it makes the club look like one of the big boys ( ie Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea Ladies etc etc )who surely must supplement there Ladies Clubs ??? With all this STUPID money floating around the Premiership nowadays , it wouldnt break our bank to start backing these ladies , 10k a year ffs !!!! Get Palacios to give some of that money back that hes robbed off us !

It's no good going at something like this with the ladies involved half-cock. I think you're right. It's a similar principle as bailing out lower league clubs who can't afford to run, albeit more close-knit. They need to be able to stand on their own two foot as a club. |

slpjase , the lower league clubs would be able to stand on there own 2 feet as you put it , if the money was spread out a bit fairer , when you have a KIDDY at Liverpool refusing 100k a week ffs !!!! NOT A YEAR !!! a WEEK .... how money clubs would this sort of money saved from going out of business , or , are you happy to end up with an English League system like they have in most countries nowadays , you can pick at the start of the season in any European or Top league which of say 4 teams will win that league before it even starts , and you like to call that sport ??? I call it greed !!!

in fact Spain - 2 teams , Germany - 3 teams , Italy - 2 or 3 teams , France - 2 teams , England 3 or 4 teams , Scotland - 1 !! the list is endless , gone of the days when a team like Ipswich can come up from the 2nd Division and win the now premiership the season after , teams like Northampton can go from the 4th to 1st division in 4 seasons , Man Ure can get relegated , football as a sport is fked thank to the money . The only thing the money cant fk up is the individuals passion for his own team , and that is the world over .
