So Lewes FC (the club I'm a part owner of) became the first professional or semi professional club to pay the men's and women's teams equally.

Director Jacquie Agnew said: "We hope to spark a change that will help put an end to the excuses for why such a deep pay disparity has persisted."

As well as giving women's manager John Donoghue the same budget as male counterpart Darren Freeman, the East Sussex club say they will also ensure the same level of coaching staff, equipment and facilities are provided to the two sides.

The move is part of the club's Equality FC campaign, which is funded by a combination of the club, donors and sponsors.

It's good that they are doing it but womens footballers will never get the same money as men's footballers because they do not bring in the same revenue from crowds / advertising etc etc. That's not discrimination that's just economic reality IMO.

And too many SJW's - my sister included - just don't get this.

I mean how far are we going to take equality. Should insurance companies be stopped from charging younger drivers a higher premium because they are a higher risk? Is that "discrimination" against young drivers?

Except that in our club they kind of do.

Our men play in the 8th tier of football, our women play in the 3rd.

It's definitely not viable for any of the PL clubs but there's no reason it couldn't happen for clubs of a much lower level.

that makes sense but how many clubs have that situation

also gets messy when you think about it realistically, the English mens 3rd tier is of higher quality than the womens top tier so if say Bradford had women in the top tier they shouldn't get the same or more than the men in league one
