How can you justify same wages for the woman when the crowds and sponsorships are so much less.
If anything this could prevent womans teams giving out contracts i would have thought...

I think it's more that if they're going to be full-time, then they should get the same basic level of pay.

That doesn't mean they'll get the same pay as the vast majority won't be full-time, and those that are will likely be on the bare minimum, which won't be the case with Rovers, etc

But yeah, anyone picking up €100/week for a hobby is going to get stung

Big win for Rovers and Women's football in Ireland. Other clubs were dead set against Rovers WNL side being semi-pro next season but unlike the Rovers II debacle the FAI/League have refused to bow down to clubs standing in the way of progress.
