more serious thoughts:
– increased FTA games ✅
– free passes for u16s ✅
– DubZone continuing ✅
– too many pre-5pm kick-offs (esp in hottest months) ❌
– too many double headers ❌
– too many early Friday kickoffs ❌
– kitchen appliances? for a women’s league? 😬❌— Samantha Lewis (@battledinosaur) September 12, 2024
the market for the dub IS familial. but it’s not families as in mum, dad and kids. it’s family as in “in the family” as in lgbtqia+ people.

This may be the last WSL season as we know it – but what is the vision for its future? (Jessy Parker Humpheys / The Athletic)
“Nothing Doucet says is factually wrong. There is a significant subsection of women’s football fans who share demographic similarities with the average Taylor Swift fan in that they are young women. But the way that particular group is discussed feels infantilising, and it is hard to recognise these jargon-filled marketing cliches in the crowds who actually attend WSL matches.”
“Clearly, that is not slowing down the Premier League when it comes to making money but that “something special” which Doucet recognises in women’s football comes from being a sport that is not solely about making money. Seeing fans as real people rather than product personas is a crucial part of maintaining that.”
Michelle Kang
The more I here about Kang, the more convinced I am that she’s not actually a positive force in woso. Like in theory it’s great that someone is investing in these teams but something always seems slightly off https://t.co/TKO07q94HF

If she was buying one club like Natalie Portman I’d be 100% behind her.
Anybody buying multiple clubs gives me reason for pause. https://t.co/HpUOJ7lMf6
