Poole Ladies Ground

[archblake]

I've seen that the South West Poole ladies side aren't playing at Tatnam? 

How come?

Considering the league they're in and the and standard on offer, it's a shame we can't utilise this to show how Poole Town is progressing. As I understand it, they play a higher standard than AFC Bournemouth!

Thoughts..?

Where are they playing their home games then?

Upton Rec.

It is expected that the Ladies will be playing 50% of their fixtures at Tatnam and the remainder at Upton.

We are liaising at present re the fixture list.

So they have 9 teams in their league and they're going to have 8 home fixtures and out of those possibly only 4 will be played at Tatnam?

Is it me or does that sound quite feeble? If they're playing at the highest standard in the county shouldn't the club be promoting this and been seen as an ambassador of women's football?

If you have the ladies playing all 8 games at Tatnam (which is hardly anything) I think this would be great for increasing the interest in the women's side and the club too. It can only be a positive for everyone involved right?

Whilst I agree with your sentiments and quite rightly we should support our ladies football team you need to see the bigger picture we also run u18s who also play at the highest level and our u21s who it is hoped will eventually produce players for the first team their home games also would like to be played at Tatnam adding up to quite a few extra games poss with the ladies about 25-30 on the first team pitch, which I'm sure you all agree is in very good nick! The decision to limit the amount of games on the pitch to give our first team every possible chance to get promoted by playing on a good pitch in January February etc makes sense to me, FYI both the u 18s and u21s also only play approx 50% of their home games at Tatnam
So everything considered it's fair albeit frustrating for the teams themselves! How this helps?
