@TheAnfieldWrap Our club certainly tries to make the most of the Beatles connection ⚽️🖤🤍 Sitting in the Penny Lane wine bar the night before a tournament in 2009 we realised we didn’t have a name so it started in the bar, and then we took loads of Beatles references to build the club.

This is Liverpool. Our city, your city. 
Fascism will not win here.

🕊️ Hope not hate.
☮️ Peace not war.
🫱🏻‍🫲🏿 Solidarity not division.

CLUB STATEMENT:

We are receiving a lot of backlash from a decision made at a different club.

Our women’s and girls teams are still running and firmly part of our set up. We are proudly growing the women’s game in our area.

[Penny Lane FC @PennyLaneFC]

Always a fantastic day hosted by @LivHomelessFC We can’t make it to this one but if you can get a team together, get in touch with them.

REMINDER: Our first women's matchday of the year is taking place this month! We're hosting our WADA tournament on the 30th!

BREAKING 🚨 The six board members who voted to scrap Thornaby FC's women's teams have now stepped down.

Only Phil Genery and chairman, Gary Morris, remain.

They plan to build a new diverse and wide-ranging board alongside representatives from the women's team.

Now more than ever let's get behind & support these young people. We can all see what's happening & who's being set up to be the face of defeat. We are going to be gas lit with explanations & justifications, but those deciding who goes on the back pages know what they’re doing. Let's keep our energy focused on giving these players pure love & support throughout the tournament.

[Penny Lane FC @PennyLaneFC]

The struggle continues. Not only do we have to battle to play in the first place, but then battle to keep playing. @ThornabyFCWomen we stand with you #womensfootball

[Thornaby FC @ThornabyFC_]

AND THAT'S WRAP... 🥲

Yesterday we found out that a majority on the Thornaby FC committee, led by Trevor Wing, voted to remove the entire female section from the club.
