Introducing Penny Lane FC!
We are an open age, inclusive, mixed-ability football team from Liverpool for women and non-binary folks. Our football is fun, friendly and non-committal and our values are simple... and our DMs are always open 😎
@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.
⚽️ FOOTBALL AGAINST FASCISM ⚽️
We’re working with other grassroots footie teams in Merseyside to raise vital funds for charities and community initiatives supporting asylum seekers and refugees in our city.

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.
REMINDER: Our first women's matchday of the year is taking place this month! We're hosting our WADA tournament on the 30th!
If you're part of a women's team who are interested in playing, you can register by sending us a DM!

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.
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
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.
