Sounds great value - question, is this for women only or can couples go?
A year ago I'd have cut in here saying I find it incredibly condescending that an idea to get more women to football would need to involve a three course sit down meal and champagne instead of being able to attend like the majority of us do.However I'm devastated to say that I completely understand having listened to a female Rovers fan give examples of the experience they have while going to watch games. I was naive enough to think that all males had moved on from behaviour akin to the Carry On films and that it had been condemned to that era yet groping and generally acting like a specimen still occurs, particularly in our busier games.The idea that anyone wanting to watch DRFC may be put off because of some scumbags inability to keep their hands to themselves dismayed me more than anything I've ever heard about our fans before. That they hold a fear of speaking out, even more so.
When women go to the football they usually attend either with there male partners, with their kids or are in a large group that is predominately male. On Saturday our little group went to Sheffield early doors and whilst in Wetherspoons three young lasses who were probably in there early twenties were supporting villa who were playing at Wednesday. They ordered breakfasts and alcohol too. I thought it was brilliant, women doing the typical away day rituals that you only associate with fella's.

Sounds like the world has gone booze mad.No wonder the NHS can’t cope. To me if you can’t enjoy going to football without drinking then there is something seriously wrong. Nothing wrong with a pint before a match I should add but why drink 3/4/5 etc you can’t possibly see what’s happening on the pitch and if you are somehow capable, you would be spending half of it stood at the urinals!!!

We got there at 09:30 and then those young women came in at approx 10:30. What's the harm in eating breakfast with an alcoholic drink!! Lord above for having a good day out with friends 🙄🙄
