6. In search of a level playing field

The Hot Shots team pop over to the Dripping Pan, home of Lewes FC to talk Equality FC.  As the profile of the women’s game grows, investment in it and the women on the pitch isn’t keeping up.  But one East Sussex club, founded in 1885, is making waves about that.

Karen Dobres is an elected director at Lewes FC.   In this episode Karen shares her football story and why she used to feel disconnected and threatened by the game.  CJ, Kate and Rebecca hear how Lewes FC is working to encourage women in their local community to both come and watch football and play the game themselves.

Away from talk of the fight for equality, there’s chat about how FC Hot Women’s training is going, Kate sets herself a challenge and CJ praises the the friendliness of the women’s recreational game.
