NEWS: Coventry City announce partnership with #HerGameToo

Coventry City are delighted to announce a new partnership with HerGameToo, which aims to raise awareness of, and combat, sexism in football.

Seems a bit weird given we don't have a ladies team (albeit we do have a girl's team)

Never a bad thing to encourage diversity and inclusion in our support though.

Oh, definitely. Support the message entirely. Just not having a women's team doesn't look great for that image.

Given that we’re too tight to bother pursuing even a loan to help a threadbare squad I doubt we’d justify funding a full time women’s team.

Isn't Her Game Too more about attitudes towards female supporters and how they are treated rather than anything to do with if you do or don't have a women's side?

A woman's group who featured on football focus the other week .seems they are working on getting more publicity and of course they are welcome.

Mixed showers should be used as a incentive to get Gus to extend () his contract.

Oh you're fucking hilarious.
Opinions such as yours are the reasons initiatives such as this have to exist.

It's not a joke. It isn't funny.

[Johhny Blue]

They do tend to be good sweepers

 

[usskyblue]

We should start a new team pre-game gesture for it… so the sexists can boo

This thread a case in point as to why it’s a good thing.

This is now an official "no banter allowed" fans forum !!

 

[letsallsingtogether]

well of it stops that song Oh Coventry is wonderful, then its a good thing.
No way am I a prude and I love a great sexist joke but that song makes me cringe.

How do you define banter and how do you use it?

 

[RegiswasGod]

@bawtryneal, don't take the bait....

I agree. That song is proper dark ages.

 

[larry_david]

It's dreadful

 

[Greggs]

As a gender fluid neutral non binary xyz no noun earthling, I find this very offensive.

Your absolutely right those nubile young naked women should be kept far away from our star players

 

[djr8369]

It is pretty weird

Its a waste of time explaining it to you...you wouldn't get it !

Oh Coventry
Oh Coventry
Is wonderful
Is wonderful
Oh Coventry is won-der-ful
Full of booze, coke and dickheads
Oh Coventry is won-der-ful.

How's that?

Wonder how many female fans use this forum?

 

[Blind-Faith]

Maybe we could get a nail parlour , salon, some tanning beds and a fancy restaurant at the CBS for bottomless brunches going aswell while we’re at it???

And a curry house to get asian fans in and jerk chicken for the blacks. Noodle bar so we can tap into Chinese student population in cov.

This is becoming a great day out to be honest.

 

[Nick]

In all seriousness, I can't see why anybody would think it's a bad thing.

We don't need to have a women's team but if there's a few more women represented (maybe at he SCG meetings etc as well) to be able to put their issues forward then it's decent.

It looks like the Cov City Girls team will be included and involved anyway!

 

[13th_choice_seamer]

Good that the club is supporting this initiative. As well as being the right thing to do for its own sake (which is reason enough alone to do it), if this boosts the club's support then all the better.

Considering some of the comments on another thread, probably not many now.

 

[chiefdave]

Will definitely be interested to hear what is discussed and what the plans are moving forward.

Obviously as a concept it is great and just looking at some of the responses to the announcement clearly needed but not sure what will actually get put in place.

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

If it increased the exposure of the club to more women and makes them more comfortable coming to games, it's a great thing.

I'll be honest, in all the years I've been going to see Cov. After looking it up, I never actually knew that was the line in 'Oh Coventry' . It's all a bit too Johnny Vaughan. LADS, LADS, LADS.

 

[Nick]

See you all there.
