Women’s Football consultation held on campus

The Women’s Football consultation was held on campus

Staff and external stakeholders have gathered at º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ Stadium in a bid to shape the Women’s Football strategy at the University.

Following Issy Martin’s appointment as the new Head Coach, º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ football is in the process of delivering a vision that will drive the Women’s football programme forward.

The evening consisted of speeches from Issy, alongside Executive Director of Sport, John Steele, and º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ’s Director of Football, Richard Allen. Attendees discussed several pre-set questions in groups on how the strategy could look before sharing their takeaway thoughts.

“When you have so much potential with a programme it’s really important to speak to as many people it may affect as possible,” said Issy.

“We knew it was equally vital to engage with individuals away from º¬Ðß²ÝÊÓƵ as their input naturally comes from another perspective. It’s exciting to think we’re now that close to developing a strategy that will undoubtedly help us progress.”

Following the evening, Richard Allen added:

“We’ve shown our commitment to the Women’s game with Issy’s appointment and this is the point now where we can implement a strategy together, to provide a direction of travel for the Women’s programme.”
