What are you suggesting? They get part of our income? Money from our season ticket sales? That should never happen. They need to generate their own income. It’s hard enough competing at our level, without donating money to a women’s team.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I don't think they should get ST/gate money, but I wonder if there's more we can do to help promote their game and help them to generate their own money better.Mon the Hibs.

I'm a bit confused why people think that existing clubs should be subsidising Women's football.
Surely if it's a viable commercial business, they would survive in their own right.

But there is a reason that there are Hibs and Hearts women’s team. There is an emotional link to parent clubs and that’s a benefit to those parent clubs.

And for the record I am not suggesting equal pay, but a sensible and coordinated integration that gives benefit everywhere.

The women's game is trying to get away from alcohol and gambling sponsorships as part of its drive to present a family-friendly face.
That could present a problem when Hibs look for a new sponsor, as our Ladies team may need to find a different sponsor. So it's up to the club's commercial department to find an alternative which, given the success of our team, shouldn't be difficult as the sums involved won't be large. Improved media coverage will help here as well.
BBC Alba televising live games is an example of this. They're showing the Ladies game on Friday evening against Glasgow City, but frustratingly that clashes with BT Sport showing the trip to Livingston. The viewing figures on Alba and attendance against Glasgow City would both be better if the clash had been avoided when re-arranging the game for TV. Very few Hibs fans will choose the ladies game over the mens.
I'm one of those who won't. I'll watch the Livingston trip live and record the visit of Glasgow City to watch immediately afterwards. Just need to stay off Twitter to avoid the score in the latter game.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I know many won’t agree that this is an approach that Hibs should follow and Hibs ladies as well as the girls teams are already very well regarded without it but it does look and feel like a very inclusive way forward that is designed to them build a lot of grass roots support and loyalty in the long run.

They're called Hibs, they wear Hibs shirts; we should be supporting them.

Hibs ladies coasting it against Stirling Uni in the quarter finals of the women’s Scottish Cup at the moment. 5-0 so far. Mon the ladies.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Final score 0-6 to the Hibs Ladies, onward to yet another semi final

Juventus women beat Fiorentina 1-0 in front of a capacity 39,000 today, a record for a women's game in italy, although tickets were free
last weekend 60, 739 watched Barcelona beat Real Madrid 2-0, a record for a top-flight domestic women's game in Europe
impressive

This is the reality. I agree that talking about 'quality' of football is irrelevant in talking about how both sports develop. But the quality gap itself is not as wide as some on the Jurassic wing of the argument like to make out.
I was watching a game yesterday between Pele 2007 kids, the top level at their age group. There was a girl playing who easily holds her own (NO, don't do it) with the best boys at her own age. Physically, athletically, technically. If teams like Arsenal continue to have mixed training sessions for youngsters as they go into the eleven a side game, the gap will continue to narrow. Some of the womens games I catch five minutes of at the Oriam are very high standard indeed.

The women’s game is already having a huge impact on the number of young coaches coming through the ranks. My nephew Callum is coaching Celtic U13 girls and my son Cammy has just started coaching Edinburgh South U11 girls. My niece Lyndsey, 23 has played football for the past 16 years and may yet take on a coaching role.

it was indeed and the previous record was just several weeks ago...
The attendance shattered the previous European record of 48,121 who watched Athletic Bilbao's women's team play Atletico in a Copa del Rey match in Bilbao in January.
