No money. No interestMore likely it's been done to try and get Sky interested at all. It smacks of the ridiculous engineering that detached rugby league's top flight from the unglamorous rump.

Why has there been no coverage on Sky sports?
I've got to admit apart from ogling i'm not a fan of women's football,the only way i can see how they could have demoted them fairly,is if they did it on an average of their league positions,as they have struggled for a few years,this is another case of tradition not mattering any more,they surely deserve their place as one of the founding members,but then again if it was done like that Corinthian Casuals would be in the Premier league ,it seems really sad,the only way i could see things improving is when the club is stronger,somehow they could help them out like other men's teams do,also more of the two games on one day,and hopefully get a percentage of our fans watching bump their crowds up a bit,hopefully as the club gets stronger,The Dons and Belles will as well,very sad and unfair for them.
I think the biggest disappointment for me here, is just how few people knew about it before I flagged it up.If folk want to get behind the Belles cause then one of the best and easiest thing they could do is go along and support them at their games.There next game is this coming Saturday against Everton; 6pm at the Keepmoat. Free entry if you take your own bell!
I assumed you all knew about this. The article I read confirmed that Belles were being replaced by Man City Ladies.You can see they are trying to manipulate things to try and give the Women's Premier League more credibility by looking like the top of the mens Premier League. Man City, Liverpool, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal etc. No doubt Bristol Academy's days are numbered. I'm sure it's all based on commercial reasons.
