We are disgusted not only by this act of vandalism against a girls’ team but also by the misogynistic symbols used by the perpetrators.
In solidarity, we want to donate £500 towards repairs.
Please follow us and DM how we can pay you.

Next season, no more ‘spare rib’ please.
Either suffix the men’s team as ‘men’ too or drop the ‘women’ suffix. Preferably the latter. Distinguish men’s/women’s teams by name of League/Cup eg Men’s/Women’s Champions League.

100 years ago, women's football in England was banned. Lewes FC director and former Chelsea/West Ham/England player Claire Rafferty asks why. And what effect has it had all these years later?

Real anger & exasperation around at demise of Coventry United. So hard for non-Prem backed clubs to compete/survive. Insufficient revenue opportunities ie too few League games; tiny FA Cup prize money; NO League Cup prize money; increasing infrastructure costs to meet regulations
Lewes FC CEO, Maggie Murphy, has announced her decision to step down at the end of this season.
Maggie’s journey with Lewes FC has been one of dedication, growth, and profound impact on and off the pitch.
Thank you, Maggie, for everything!

£1.9 million difference in prize money.

This Sunday, EVERY away team in the women's FA Cup will LOSE. Guaranteed.
Because even if you win (on the pitch) the prize money is just £1,250. And that won't even cover travel & other expenses.
Sound fair to you? We're fighting to CHANGE it. Support us...
