Women and Football Research

[theacademic]

Dear all,

I am doing some research on women and sport and I would appreciate a few minutes of your time to share your thoughts. The survey is anonymous and can be found here:

Thanks in advance.

Sure thing, looks interesting.

In future questionnaires you might want to add more specific questions that allow you to deduce real attitudes rather than such open ended ones where no-ones going to be bothered to do the work. I suspect you're getting a lot of blank answers on those paragraphs.

anyway - I think there has been more interest in women sport but still a helluva lot of work to be done. In football. Top clubs should have a responsibility to be pushing more info about the women's game. Arsenal have generally been quite good, but it's still far too independent from the men's game.

E.g. In some of those silly YouTube things where players mess about, perhaps showing the women teams taking on those challenges with the men would help get, we, the Twitter generation, interested. I'm not watching a crossbar challenge if it's just the women team doing it. If Mesut Ozil's in it too then I probably will.

Many thanks Syn and thanks to those who have completed the survey. I appreciate it.

Done. I think that clubs like Arsenal could do more to promote women's football - eg have the womens' team playing at the Emirates on match day weekends? This might tap into those who cannot afford, or do not have high enough membership status to attend many of the mens' matches.
