IT'S a known fact that today, one in five women will go to a football match either on their own or with someone else. So, why are so many more women going to watch football matches these days?
Many people would say that women are going for the sole purpose of looking at footballers' legs! NOT TRUE! Yes some women do go for the legs (who wouldn't?), but most women who go now are genuinely interested in the game and are religious followers, as are most men.
Just because we won't spend hours either before or after discussing the game doesn't mean we don't enjoy watching it.
So, whether it's for the legs, the enjoyment of the game, or to keep someone happy, more women are going to football games. Looks like the age old men and women divide is becoming less and less wide through the generations!
