    Are we really expected to believe that the likes of Sky are just too stupid to work out that there is this gigantic untapped market on a per with the Premier League but with ponytails?

    Psst, Peter.

    Manchester City (mens) play at the Etihad stadium - capacity 55,000

    Manchester City (women) play at the Academy Stadium - capacity 7,000

    There is a reason for that.

    Manchester City have become the first women's club in British football to average crowds of more than 2,000 per match over a season

    Not really an gigantic, untapped market, yet. And not really in the foreseeable.

    Look at L!ve TV, they tried with Topless Darts and even that failed

    The tennis argument got to the point where the women’s counter to men playing more is that no one wants to see 5 sets and all matches should be 3 only

    Next it will be we need to make goals bigger, pitches smaller and golf should be 15 holes not 18...and all par 3s.

    Yeah. Have you never noticed how the Men's final at Wimbledon empties out once it goes past three sets?

    I thought technically you couldn't score an own goal like that. Some rule about not being allowed to throw directly into your own goal.

    Spotted that since. Wasn't shown on the initially link and the article was impossible to read.
