Reports circulating that Fulham FC has withdrawn funding for their women’s team

By Colin Aldis

Fulham FC plays in the National division of England FA’s Women's Premier League.

Apparently the manager, Marieanne Spacey, and the players have been informed about the decision,and further meetings are expected with the club. The English FA will also meet to discuss the matter.

A similar fate occured last year with Birmingham City, but they survived through funding from elsewhere, so there maybe some hope for a top 10 club.

The National Division may have to operate with eleven teams next season, or make changes to the relegation process which had previously been decided.
