alexiano Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 It's been brought up on twitter, so thought I'd start a thread for the ladies of Melbourne heart to have some sort of club where they....... To make this happen we'd need a group of organisers to discuss and propose ideas and organise. Up to the main group to decide whether this would be a club driven or fan driven initiative.

GabiBoyd Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 To be honest I don't know that we need a separate ladies' group as such. Maybe just a channel of communication so we are able to find out who else is out there, and meet up with each other at games if we are feeling isolated amongst the sea of men. I can't really see myself using such a service much, but then I've already got lots of friends at Heart. Someone (especially a younger girl) interested in the Club who is looking to come to matches but has no-one to come with might feel more comfortable if she knew there were friendly female faces around. So idea has potential I guess but I'm not really sure what direction it should go in or who should take it there haha.

Posts like this one give some inkling of why a genuine football-loving girl might not feel welcome at the boy's club that is Yarraside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heartrate Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 This has been proposed to the club, basically it will be an official group, to hold fundraisers, events etc to involve all females who enjoy soccer or sport in general and feel intimidated to join or attend games, it will also act as a general means of communication to fellow ladies.. I intend for it to be membership orientated in the hope of generating funds for various things and most importantly Girls with Heart... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special imp drinks. A special ladies players calendar. I think there would be a few interested. I remember talking to some girls earlier in the season and it was brought up. Just a way to meet other female fans. Some of the ladies that follow the club would probably be interested in meeting some other girls that follow it too. Instead of just talking with guys all the time. Probably most the people interested wouldn't use this forum though. Have to think of a way of getting the msg out there. Assuming there's ladies that want to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melburnian Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 Guys, enough with the sexist remarks yeah? What age are we living in? I have seen first hand what a women's group can do and I can tell you now, it ha the potential to bring a lot more people to the game. Not just women but their families. If you ladies setting it up need assistance just let me know. Happy to help get this off the ground. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red or Dead Posted March 20, 2013 Report Share Posted March 20, 2013 So we have to give this ladies' group a name! I propose either: Queens of Heart or Ladies with Heart 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
