lewy 2,326 Posted December 26, 2023 I believe there is some financial benefits to having a female in the team in the form of grants and funding,not sure how or how much someone just mentioned in a conversation. I'm sure somebody will enlighten or correct me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neila 1,162 Posted December 26, 2023 11 minutes ago, Nickinho said: It's precisely BECAUSE she is a girl/woman that the Comets have signed her. Be honest with yourself, would they have signed a rider on a 4.00 who struggles to get a point in the continent if they were male? Her signing is just pure tokenism, a gimmick. And giving her "the boot" if she fails to make any kind of impact will look even worse for Workington after they've made such a big deal of her signing. If she fails Workington are stuck with her. Take it you have not watched the you tube link, where she beats drew kemp 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nickinho 429 Posted December 26, 2023 I've seen lots of YouTube videos of young footballing prospects who all look like Pele but who in reality are pants. I saw her around Armadale in real life and she failed to convince me of her being worthy of a place in a Championship team. I'm trying to imagine her in a heat at Ashfield against Harris and Complin and if there's first bend bunching I'm covering my eyes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bagpuss 10,781 Posted December 26, 2023 Nobody knows how good or bad she will be and I'm sure a considerable part of her signing is for the publicity/exposure but let's at least give her a chance to show us what she can or can't do. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
