TheCumbrians This stretches from one end of living room, through dining room and into conservatory. Still too big to open up! https://t.co/VnTZYw2NT1

TheCumbrians @CUFCalways @Claire_Like_Eh Yeah, the tweet said "McQueen replaces McQueen" my poor attempt at humour whilst losing.
TheCumbrians @CraigHc10 @Marzy_1 @officialcufc Ha, sorry mate. I lacked enthusiasm last time I commented about Jabo, making up for it now.
TheCumbrians JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! JABO! @Marzy_1 https://t.co/yTq1RN4S1B
TheCumbrians @2705TF @1MarkFuller Just assumed it wouldn't be possible due to licensing. Maybe as a silhouette it'll be ok?
TheCumbrians @DanCUFC Yeah, impressed with the quality again Dan. Would definitely recommend.
TheCumbrians @Jaffa113 It will be available to take to away games though providing the other club don't have a problem, given the size.
TheCumbrians @Jaffa113 Unfortunately not mate, I wasn't expecting it today so don't have the ties for it and haven't cleared it with Bristol Rovers.
TheCumbrians @cusclbontour Where without being blocked by supporters? An idea worth considering, if the club allow.
TheCumbrians @cusclbontour Definitely so! Need to arrange with the club so we get it right behind the goal.
TheCumbrians I can't get the whole flag in the photo for obvious reasons! Here's the end. What do you think? #45ftlong https://t.co/yTqyfY9cDz

For question 11 I only ticked yes for journalists, think I maybe should have ticked yes for Refs to be honest.

Done,

Had a lass referee a rugby game I played in the other week, did a superb job and handled a few of the punch ups quite well see no reason why female officials cant be in charge of mens football.

I did too Claire. Absolutely no reason why gender should prevent someone taking up any of those roles.

Completely agree. Now I'm certainly NOT saying things are fine because of this next bit but I'd be interested in knowing how many other football clubs in England have 2 females on their BOD.

Tbh I did think me being female would be a disadvantage against the other 3 fan rep candidates & some of the questions that were asked during the selection phase confirmed this worry I had. But I'm pleased I was utterly wrong!!

Thing is the question wasn't "would you have a problem" it was "would you be in favour"?

"In favour of more..." i.e. there could/should be more.

Claire, do you have any girls playing for your junior team? I coach an under 12s team and we have the only girl in the league playing for us.

No, 10 very excitable boys. There weren't any girls at the U8 age level at the club's soccer school (Crusaders). Most teams have 7/8 players in their squad as it's 5v5 at this age but the maximum is 10. There were 10 boys desperate to play so we signed up 10! Yday after our match & penalties they did a massive pile on. I couldn't tell you what the score was. They love it & have found some mates that'll last forever. That's what football at this age should be about!

Completed, hopefully you will make your findings public be interesting to see the different opinions on the matter.

I have never seen a female official in men's grass roots football, never thought about it before but it is strange as I think they would be welcomed into the game by the players.

I think women and football should be as far away from each other as possible.
