Podcasts about lewes fc

This week we donned a smelly neon bib, distributed some tiny cones and shouted things like ‘THAT'S NEVER A PEN' all in order to win the attention of Karen Dobres, one of the sporting world's most genuine game changers. Advocating for equal budgets, facilities and recognition in women's sport with all the tenacity of a crunching, shin-pad obliterating tackle, Karen is the co-founder of Equality FC and the Sistership Network. Her new book, soon to hit the shops, is called Pitch Invasion and tells the tale of her experiences as a feminist on the board of Lewes FC, the world's first (hurray) and only (boo) equal football club. And, with all the creative energy of a box-to-box midfield dynamo, she's also helped establish the #CallHimOut initiative, has served as a judge on the UN Women UK Awards, managed a counselling service at Polygram Records and, just because she could, helped arrange the installation of a statue celebrating bisexual female pirates. It's an episode where we chatter ‘in and around' all things relating to her hopes for women's sport, the impact of equality on crowds and culture and the value of being an outsider.  This episode is proudly dedicated to Marios Christos Sfantos Follow Karen on LinkedIn. ///// Timestamps 06:10 - From Journalism Aspirations to Modelling 08:45 - Transitioning to Counselling and Music Industry 12:40 - Discovering Women's Football 15:31 - Feminizing the Football Environment at Lewis FC 18:14 - Impact of Equality on Crowds and Culture 24:48 - Challenges Faced by Women in Football 27:25 - Creating a Supportive Community through Football 30:37 - Football as a Vehicle for Social Change 32:06 - The Value of Being an Outsider in Football 34:15 - Pitch Invasion: Karen's Book Karen's Book Recommendations are: A Room of One's Own by Virginia Woolf Why Men Win at Work by Jill Whitty Collins /////

In this episode, we dive into an inspiring panel discussion from the Data ‘Talks' Revenue Conference 2024, held at AFC Wimbledon in London. Moderated by Dana Dar, co-founder of Kick Off, the conversation features key figures in women's sports, including Helen Ward (Head of Women's Football at Watford FC), Aidan Boxall (Women's Team General Manager at West Ham United), and Shrey Nilvarna (Fan & Community Engagement Manager at Lewes FC).Together, they explore innovative strategies to build and strengthen fandom pathways in women's sports, sharing their experiences and insights on engaging fans, growing support for women athletes, and driving progress across the sports industry. Tune in to discover how these leaders are shaping the future of fan engagement in women's sports.

When it comes to leveraging fan data to drive ticket sales, merchandise revenue, and high-value sponsorships, you need a partner you can trust. That's where we come in at Data Talks.At Data Talks, we're proud to partner with a diverse range of sports organizations across various countries and sports. From the passionate football supporters of 1. FC Magdeburg in Germany to the committed fans of the Vålerenga in Norway and PAOK FC in Greece, our reach is broad. We also work with AIK, the trailblazing Lewes FC—known for their gender equality stance, and FK Crvena Zvezda, helping these clubs not only understand but also engage their supporters on a deeper level. But our expertise isn't limited to football and ice hockey. We're also working with the Swedish Golf Federation, Dolphins - which is competing in the Australian National Rugby League and the Austrian Handball Federation, to name a few.No two clubs are the same, which is why we tailor our approach to meet your specific needs. For instance, when 1. FC Magdeburg wanted to increase merchandise sales, we helped them initiate a campaign encouraging fans to print their names on their jerseys to increase purchases. The outcome was impressive sales and a clear understanding that targeting specific groups can create fantastic results.To check their strategy, 1. FC Magdeburg divided their audience and sent the same campaign to two different groups. Group one targeted those who purchased a shirt this year, but also spent a minimum of 90 EUR in previous purchases—a small but promising group of 1,200 recipients. Group two went broader, reaching all supporters who bought a ticket in the last two years, totaling a whopping 38,000 recipients.The smaller group saw outstanding results—a jaw-dropping 66% open rate, a 6% click rate, leading to 20 orders and 1431 EUR in revenue from 1100 recipients. The larger ticket buyer group also held its own with a superb 54% open rate, and 6% click rate, resulting in 90 orders and a revenue of 7384 EUR from the expansive pool of 38,000 recipients. While both groups had fantastic open rates, the segment that had previously bought merchandise stole the spotlight with higher conversion rates. Proportionally, this smaller segment generated significantly more sales. In fact, if that segment were as large as the the segment that had previously bought tickets, the numbers would have skyrocketed to 630 orders versus the already impressive 90 orders from the ticketing segment.The message was simple yet impactful – a warm reminder that time was running out to secure tickets for the upcoming match.The combined results from both groups brought in a total revenue of 8 815 EUR in the Fan Shop. Here's the takeaway—the Data Talks Customer Data Platform (CDP) empowers clubs to go broad or laser-focused. Both approaches yield great outcomes, and the real magic happens when you pinpoint the right strategy, connect with the right audience, and present them with an irresistible offer. Similarly, we helped SC Fortuna Köln prove the power of fighting until the last moment with their last minute ticket campaign. With just 20 hours remaining before a match, Fortuna strategically targeted around 9,000 profiles in their database who had not yet purchased tickets. The result? Despite the short ticket-buying window, the campaign led to an impressive 83% increase in ticket sales. The success of this initial campaign was just the beginning. Fortuna Köln recognised the vast possibilities that the Data Talks platform offered. Beyond overcoming their first challenge, they now look forward to utilising the platform's advanced features, including segmentation, personalisation, and automation.Fortuna Köln's success story is a testament to the transformative power of data-driven strategies and the seamless collaboration with Data Talks. As the club continues its journey, it remains committed to embracing...

In this episode of the Data Malarkey podcast, data storyteller Sam Knowles welcomes Kieran Maguire, an acclaimed expert in football finance. Kieran's a chartered accountant, academic, author, and podcaster. For the past decade, he's been a lecturer in football finance at the University of Liverpool's Management School. He often appears in print and particularly broadcast media, making sense of the often bewildering and often chaotic world of football finance. He has a reputation for his “clear-headed and rigorous analysis of the financial imperatives and challenges facing football”.   Kieran's the author of the critically-acclaimed, award-winning book The Price of Football, the second edition of which was published in 2021. The Price of Football is also the name of his twice-weekly podcast which – since 2019 – has clocked up more than 400 episodes. Kieran presents the podcast alongside the comedian, Kevin Day. He truly is a multi-media expert in football finance.   Our conversation was recorded remotely, via the medium of Riverside.fm, on Transfer Deadline Day at the start of the 2023-24 football season, 1 September 2023.   Thanks to Joe Hickey for production support.   Podcast artwork by Shatter Media.   Voice over by Samantha Boffin.   A Brighton & Hove Albion fan, chartered account Kieran argues that he doesn't have the communications and networking skills required to pursue a career in finance. He spends his days obsessively updating spreadsheets of football clubs' finances, ably assisted by more than 250 alerts from the Companies House website. As well as teaching.   The most egregious act of data malarkey Kieran's observed in the many years he's been following football finance was the attempted (and still not-dead) breakaway European Super League; “an attempt to steal the heart and soul of football”.   For Kieran, the three biggest myths in football finance are: 1. Spending other people's money – recklessly – is a good thing 2. Footballers' wages are too high 3. Tickets for the Premiership are too expensive   The Premier League's broadcast deals generate 60% of the 20 top flight clubs' revenues, and the league is the world's most popular, with live broadcasts and highlights packages sold in 190 countries. And while women's football is enjoying its highest profile and a surge in popularity thanks to the Lionesses' ongoing success, Kieran doesn't think that there will be wage or playing budget parity at elite men's and women's clubs (outside of Lewes FC) any time soon.   Manchester City's men's team generated £610m in revenue in the 2022-23 season; its women's team generated £6m. That 100:1 ratio is reflected in the £20m its (injury-prone) midfielder, Kevin de Bruyne, trousers as an annual salary, compared with the highest-paid England women's player, Leah Williamson, currently on £200,000 a year (or about half of what Harry Kane receives each week from Bayern Munich).   EXTERNAL LINKS The Price of Football – podcast, books, merch – https://priceoffootball.com Kieran on Twitter (X) - https://twitter.com/KieranMaguire Kieran's LinkedIn profile – https://www.linkedin.com/in/kieran-maguire-a085033/ A Memorable Gov.uk blog on how Kieran uses Companies House data to keep track of football finance     To find out what kind of data storyteller you are, complete our data storytelling scorecard at https://data-storytelling.scoreapp.com.

Joy is...Watching Football (with a Dog).Stef Mcloughlin is the Commercial Manager for Lewes FC, a football club that is not only committed to gender equality but is really showcasing how, with the right approach, sport can be a catalyst for societal change. There are infinite creative ways that the 100% fan owned club is doing this, but perhaps the most remarkable achievement is that Lewes FC became the first team across the globe to both pay and resource the men's and women's teams equally. Since this move in 2017, attendance and sponsorship have surged, which is testimony to the power of commitment, passion and innovation in driving real change. Stef is a brilliant advocate for the meaningful work that Lewes FC is doing, not just on a local level but on the world stage, in terms of championing women's sport.

Victoire Cogevina Reynal is asking some really interesting questions about the value of women's football, now and in the years to come.She is the founder of Mercury 13, an investment consortium created to build a multi club ownership group in women's football clubs across Europe and Latin America.The consortium includes former players such as the ex-England forward Eni Aluko, who is also a former Aston Villa and Angel City sporting director, the former Italy goalkeeper Arianna Criscione, Fifa's former chief innovation officer, Luis Vicente, and Nancy Hensley formerly worked of Stats Perform.Last week, the group's attempt to invest in Lewes FC broke down following an initial exclusive negotiating period.This would have seen Lewes, in the second tier of English women's football, become the first of a multi club network of women's teams, part of $100 million Mercury plan to invest over the coming years.So this is a timely conversation, which covers a great deal of ground, from Lewes, FC Barcelona and Angel City to the appeal of a closed Super League, the media rights market for women's soccer and the toxicity of the culture war era.You'll hear us reference our Unofficial Partner Women's Football Brainstorm event at DAZN HQ, link here.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

At the beginning of the year, in March 2023, the team from Data Talks attended the Women in Football Be Inspired Conference in partnership with Barclays at Wembley Stadium. Lorraine Moalosi, our Head of Communications and PR joined a panel discussion entitled, "Marketing the game: commercializing women's football". She was joined by Lyndsey Clark, Marketing Specialist at UEFA, Misha Sher, the Global Head of Sport, Entertainment & Culture at Essencemediacom, Maggie Murphy, the CEO of Lewes FC, and Sara Hunter, Senior Commercial Manager, Women's Football at the FA. This incredible panel was hosted by Lisa Parfitt, Co-Founder of The Space Between Sports and a Director of Women in Football.This was such a relevant discussion that the room was filled with keep audiences from wall to wall wanting to hear more about how to go about "marketing the game". Here's a brief summary of some highlights from the session, provided by Women in Football UK:“Knowing your audience is key,” said Lorraine Moalosi, Head of PR & Communication at Data Talks. The appetite for women's football has grown exponentially in recent years and Lorraine told the audience: “We need to dream higher and set higher goals – because we know we can achieve them.”Often women's football is let down by resources, and audience insight data is lacking in the women's game, which makes it difficult for clubs to analyse audiences. Sara Hunter, Senior Commercial Manager, Women's Football at the FA, admired how companies like Amazon obsess over their customers and believes sport can learn a lot from this.Maggie Murphy, CEO at Lewes FC, recalled how her club brought in their audiences: “We had a target audience of ‘unwelcome women' – those who might like the game but have never attended a match because they might not feel welcome.” The values of the club and what you stand for are as important as the product on the pitch, she told us.

This episode is a slightly different format, as I talk to a panel of game changers about a specific topic – and in this case it's women in sports coaching. Just 10% of accredited coaches at the Summer and Winter Olympics over the past decade have been female and we rarely see women in high profile coaching roles in our biggest sports. This conversation explores why this is and what needs to change? My guests for this episode were:Kelly Lindsey, Sporting Director at Lewes FC & former Head Coach of the Afghanistan women's national team and the Moroccan women's national team Giselle Mather, Director of Rugby at Ealing Trailfinders and formerly Director of Rugby at Wasps Women who was the first female Level 4 rugby coach in BritainJess Freeman, Community Coach at Harlequins & a rugby coach at DorkingSarah Kelleher, former Irish Hockey Captain who is now a national coach for teams in England and Ireland Having discussed their own experiences and journeys as women in sports coaching we explore the current gender balance in football, rugby and hockey in grassroots and elite coaching, and consider which sports are doing things well. We discuss why having more women in coaching matters, what makes a ‘good' coach and what's preventing equality. Finally we consider what needs to change for the future and my guests share some fantastic advice for other female coaches.Find out more about The Game Changers podcast here: https://www.fearlesswomen.co.uk/thegamechangersHosted by Sue AnstissProduced by Sam Walker, What Goes On MediaA Fearless Women production

This is the most significant case since the Supreme Court ended the nationwide right to abortion last year, by over turning the landmark 1973 Roe V Wade. But how much can we read into this delay? We ask associate Professor of American Literature and Politics at University of East Anglia Emma Long. The Radio 1 DJ and presenter Adele Roberts joins Anita ahead of the London Marathon on Sunday.

Guest: Karen Drobes ,writer, activist and owner of Lewes FC The English government has pledged over £600 million in funding over the next two academic years into women's football. This comes after Lionesses' triumph at the womens Euro 2022 and the team's EURO legacy to get young girls playing football at school was granted by the government. We spoke to Karen Drobes who is a writer, activist and owner of Lewes FC

This week we're re-releasing an interview with an extraordinary sporting trailblazer - Maggie Murphy. Maggie is now CEO at Lewes FC, the only professional club in the world to equally invest in its men's and women's teams. Maggie sheds light on the huge disparity in pay in women's sport - especially for the FA Cup. This month Lewes FC women made history in qualifying for the FA Cup quarter final. If they win their game at home against Man Utd on March 19 they will win 25k. If the men's team won in the same round they would win. . .  450k. (Plus another 200k broadcast fee as the host venue). It's a shocking example of the lack of investment in women's sport. Lewes is 100% fan owned.

Happy International Women's day.Today the global world community celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievements of women while also calling on all stakeholders to take action in order to accelerate gender parity. And the theme this year is: DigitALL: Innovation and technology for gender equality.And of course Data Talks being a SaaS company bringing cutting-edge innovation and technology to the sports industry while also advocating and championing the acceleration of women's sports commercial success, we feel passionate about this year's theme. At the beginning of the year, we announced our partnership with Lewes FC. Speaking on the partnership, this is what our CEO, Stefan Lavén had to say:“At the heart of Lewes FC is a strong passion for innovation and equality. This is evident in everything they do not least, in how they allocate their resources between their men's and women's teams. So of course, Data Talks could not miss out on the opportunity to partner with a club whose ethos reflects ours. With this partnership, Data Talks and Lewes FC have a chance to prove the merit of using data to create unparalleled commercial success, for both men's and women's teams.”Today we implore all stakeholders involved in the sports industry to:Set bigger goals for women's sports organizations and commit to achieving those goals so that we can see an acceleration in attendance at women's sports gamesBut also an important factor is to embrace innovation and technology in helping women's sports clubs to achieve their goalsThis was the very reason we went into partnership with Lewes FC. When speaking about the partnership, this is what the CEO of Lewes FC had to say about the partnership:“Football is full of emotion. But when you're trying to hit targets and make good decisions, you need to be thoughtful and rational. For that, you need good evidence, good data, and good ways of connecting, understanding, and handling data. Data Talks will help us to clean up and streamline the way we handle information internally, which in turn, will help us make good commercial decisions and engage better with our fans, owners, partners, and suppliers. We're delighted to welcome Data Talks to the Lewes FC team.”Accelerating the commercial success of women's sports organizations is something that we have been working fiercely with. Because we believe that this is truly the key to reaching gender parity faster, the very reason we are celebrating international women's day today. We have particularly been focusing on ensuring that women's sports organizations get more supporters, superior sales, and real revenue through the 4 fundamentals of selling more tickets and merchandise. These four fundamentals are: 1. Grow your supporter base, continuously2. Collect supporter data with contact information and merge it with your sales data3. Find out which supporter segments you should target with your ticketing campaigns4. Send out relevant ticket offerings to those segments in a way that your supporters will really appreciateUsing these 4 fundamentals to sell more tickets and merchandise is crucial especially today when women's sports are enjoying a lot of publicity. However, just because people are talking about women's sports clubs and teams online, does not mean that they are actually buying tickets or merchandise from them. And just because FC Barcelona and The Lionesses are setting new attendance records, it does not mean that the average women's club is seeing record or even full attendance at their games.This, unfortunately, is the sad reality in sports right now. Online hype,...

It's such a, it's such an honor because, um, I feel like we've been trying to get this done for such a long time and it's, it's so great that we're finally able to do it. Yeah, no, it's fantastic to connect and looking forward to it. Absolutely. But before we begin, we like to start off our sessions with an icebreaker.Are you ready for that? Oh, we'll see. , what's your favorite quote, expression or motto, and why Is it your. I think I'd have to go with, feel the fear and do it anyway. And I guess I just like to live by that motto myself. Um, obviously produce a lot of content around women's sport and you know, sometimes it's a little bit uncomfortable trying to push a few buttons and, um, start to.Tricky conversation, but I think without that boldness and challenge, we are not gonna drive the game forward quick enough. So yeah, I like to kind of, and work in my own personal life, kind of live by that. And do you have any memories of like any, anything like recent where you've actually felt just petrified or just afraid and you're just like, you know what, I'm just doing.Yeah, I mean I think, um, well personally I was at a Halloween theme park on the weekend, so going a couple of rides, which definitely put me outta my comfort zone. But you know, I think knowing I was gonna be a little bit uncomfortable, but the rewards at the end of it were worth...

We need to make football a safe and inclusive space for everyone. On the back of Jake Daniels becoming the first pro player in England to come out as gay for over 30 years, a landmark Women's Euros tournament that showed us what LGBTQIA+ inclusivity can look like on the pitch and on the terraces, and Rainbow Laces campaigns becoming a permanent fixture in the calendar – it feels like football is more motivated than ever to become a safe space for queer people. The VERSUS team linked up with Rinse FM's Jordss and Lewes FC captain Ellie Hack for the first episode in a new series of ‘The Future of Football' to discuss what football can learn from the Women's Euros, why allyship from players and fans is so important, and why the authorities need to do more to create an inclusive game. This podcast was recorded in collaboration with size? as part of ‘The House Party', a series of live events that celebrate new football culture in size? stores across the country. Keep it locked to VERSUS and size? channels to attend IRL.

So the topic is, what now? How can the WSL capitalise on this moment? What's The FA's commercial plan for the league, where is the money going to come from and what are the opportunities and threats that lie ahead?Dawn Airey has had one of the most high profile careers in British and European media, running or holding very senior positions at some of the biggest broadcasters including Channel 4, Channel 5, ITV, Sky, Yahoo and Getty Images.

In this Janette's TV and Janette's TV Podcast episode, Janette sits down with Maggie Murphy who was General Manager of the Lewes FC Women's Team from 2019-2021, then elected to CEO of Lewes FC in 2021. Lewes Football Club was founded back in 1885 and is located in Lewes, East Sussex, England where Maggie joins us from. In 2017, they launched the ground-breaking Equality FC campaign that saw Lewes FC become the first (and currently only) club in the world to have equal playing budgets for women and men. Maggie sheds light on the history of Women & Football (Soccer) and how The FA Cup began in 1871. Women started playing in 1891. The Football Association banned women's football in 1921 when the first Women's FA Cup was played and didn't reinstate it until 1971 (because they considered women's football to be ‘unsuitable for a woman's frame', and ‘quite inappropriate for most women'). The 50-year ban allowed men's teams to grow to the popularity they are now, while women were stunted from reaching the same level.

The songwriter and pianist Kate Garner is the daughter of Chas Hodges of Chas and Dave fame. Chas's mother, Daisy, recorded a special tribute to the Queen for the silver jubilee back in 1977. But to celebrate the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, Kate has decided to continue the family tradition and has penned her own song called Platinum Queen. She performs live and tells Nuala McGovern how her song prompted a response from the Queen herself. For the first time this year the Women's FA Cup Final was played on the same weekend as the men's and matches are seeing record attendance levels. Despite all this success a recent study has found that 86% of players in the Women's Super League and Championship wanted or needed clinical support at some point during their playing years. The Lead author of the report, Carly Perry ,from the University of Central Lancashire found that only 50% of clubs represented by participants offered psychological support. She joins us alongside Kelly Lindsey from Lewes FC which is the only club in the world to pay it's men and women's teams equally. The Women's Prize for Fiction has launched a campaign to encourage more men to read novels by women. Why? Because the stats are currently alarming. The research, conducted for Mary Ann Sieghart's The Authority Gap, found that of the top 10 bestselling female fiction authors, including Austen, Atwood and Agatha Christie, only 19% of their readers are men. In comparison, for the top 10 bestselling male authors the split in readers is much more even at 55% men and 45% women. In other words, women are prepared to pick up novels by men, but men are much more reluctant to read novels written by women, regardless of the genre. We talk to Kate Mosse a best-selling novelist, playwright and founder director of the Women's Prize for Fiction. Amina Atiq is a Yemeni- Scouse poet, performance artist, creative practitioner and award-winning community activist. She was a BBC Words First Finalist in 2019. She joins Nuala McGovern to talk about her most recent project Poet's Gift where she worked with young Muslims to create a group poem which has been published on a bus stop in Toxteth in Liverpool.

5 years ago Lewes FC made history as the first – and still only – football club in the world to split their revenue equally between their men's and women's teams. Same pay. Same pitches. Same quality of coaching and medical staff. Same marketing investment. For this month's Three Things podcast, we invited All Together member and Lewes CEO Maggie Murphy to share the extraordinary results that followed this decision, discuss more generally her vision of Football with Purpose, and ask for her Three Things – three pieces of actionable advice that CEOs can implement today in their business.

Kelly Lindsey is a former professional footballer who's also played in the US national team.  Since retiring as a player at just 23 following many injuries, she's thrived as an incredibly successful coach leading teams across the world in the US, Hong Kong, Afghanistan and Morocco. Last year was appointed as Sporting Director at Lewes FC the first gender equal football club in the world.  Kelly is renowned for her passion and courage in tackling some of the less attractive issues in women's football, whether it's being a voice for the voiceless in support of female players in Afghanistan or calling out those in the highest positions of leadership at national and international federations, Kelly's doing so much to ensure that football can truly be a game for all.  In this powerful episode we explore many issues including human rights abuses in football and its powerful potential to drive gender equality.   In the podcast I refer to the launch of Fearless Football and you can watch Kelly's moving presentation here.   You can also join me as an owner of Lewes FC via this link: https://lewesfc.com/become-an-owner/   And find out more about the various organisation supporting those fleeing Afghanistan by following Kelly on twitter here.

For a number of years up to 2020, Kelly Lindsey was Head Coach of the Afghan women's football team. Recently she's taken up a position in England with Lewes FC, the first club in the country to pay its female players exactly the same as it's male players. It's no surprise that Kelly should be at such a progressive club, she's always lead by example, and as she explained her experiences in Afghanistan were life changing. In what's been a difficult week for American football, we look at the fallout from Jon Gruden's resignation as the Las Vegas Raiders' head coach after allegations of the existence of numerous inappropriate emails surfaced. Plus on the weekend London hosts Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars, we'll look at the NFL's plan to expand its International Series to Germany with former NFL star Markus Kuhn. Before the Olympics in July much of the talk was of whether athletes would use their time on the podium to protest against injustice. As it turns out there was hardly any athlete activism on display in Tokyo, which makes what Raven Saunders did when she received her silver medal in the shot put even more noteworthy. Saunders explains why during the medal ceremony she raised her arms and crossed them in the shape of an X to show support for "oppressed" people. We drop in on the final day of action at the Huntsman World Senior Games which have been taking place this week in Utah, and we're live at Watford as Claudio Ranieri returns to the Premier league.

When players, teams and clubs across the globe are fighting to get a parity in regard with pay , here is a club from a small town in Sussex who are breaking even the playing field.

In this second half of our interview with Erin Blankenship, a former professional football player in leagues around the world and the co-founder of Equal Playing Field, we talk more about the initiative's all-female, full-size pitch, full length football match on top of Mount Kilimanjaro (the highest ever played). We then learn about the challenges and triumphs of its second record-breaking game, the lowest played on earth following a 100km hike down to Jordan's Dead Sea, 500m below sea level. Erin also talks about how Equal Playing Field supports specific grass roots initiatives for women's engagement in football all around the world, especially in underserved countries and communities, and concludes by considering the great strides the women's game has taken in recent years – and the many challenges it still faces. All discussed with considerable humor – Equal Playing Field believes in doing the crazy, after all.In addition, Tony talks about discovering new outdoors landscapes in his old stomping ground of Yorkshire, after returning from his first international journey since before the pandemic.

Football without everyone is nothing #5 Karen Dobres (Lewes FC - Men and Women) I'm sure I'm not alone when I say the proposed Super League was met by little more than a shrug in my house. In all honesty I was happy that the cat was finally out of the bag. Take your ball, and sod off I thought. My allegiances with football have always been less about the sport, and more about everything good that comes with it. The friendship, the camaraderie, the sense of unconditional inclusion. Now, it would of course be disingenuous of me to suggest that I, as a white, heterosexual man in my mid 20's has ever had to truly deal with exclusion in any real world sense. It would also be naive of me to suggest that football has always been a place where everyone feels welcome. Far from it. But I firmly believe that football, more so than anywhere else, has the power to enact social movements that encourage better inclusion for all.  With that in mind, I introduce to you, to the ‘Football without everyone is nothing' series. Every day this week I will be speaking to different individuals, and organisations, all of whom have used football as a vehicle to improve social inclusion. As we well know, social inclusion is a key component of improving our collective mental health, so that will be a crucial part of our focus as well.  Today, in episode four, we're speaking to Karen Dobres. Karen is an elected board member at Lewes FC. Back in 2017, Lewes made the brave decision to become the first football club in the world to split their playing budgets equally between their men's and women's teams. 2021 marks 100 years since the FA banned Women's football, a ban that stood for the next 50 years. Lewes' bold decision four years ago to put faith in their principles has seen the club become known around the world as Equality FC. You can find out more about Lewes FC via their two Twitter feeds @LewesFCMen and @LewesFCWomen or head to their website https://www.lewesfc.com   If you want to get involved with Man Marking, then find us @marking_man on twitter, and use the hashtag #FootballWithoutEveryoneIsNothing 

Season #2 - Episode #17 – Lewes FC “Gender Equality FC” - Sometimes things work out perfectly. The Snobs couldn't be happier to be releasing our Lewes FC episode today, on the heels of the greedy Super League news. Lewes FC is the exact opposite to these clubs and their greed. Lewes FC is a community owned club with high standards and values. For example both the men's and women's teams are paid equally garnering them the nickname Equality FC. They do not take sponsorship from gambling sites and in fact fight corruption in soccer. The club is community owned with the goal of having the most owners in the world. 1 vote 1 person. We were extremely lucky to get the charismatic and elegantly spoken Karen Dobres to join us and speak about the club. Her passion for the club comes out in the episode. Oh and why is their ground called the Dripping Pan???

Maggie Murphy is the General Manager of Lewes Football Club in England. Lewes is a fan-owned club and the first in the world to pay its male and female players equally.  Betsy and Maggie talk about sports as a platform to lead social change and how important great communications are when changing norms.

In episode three, Corey and Mayowa speak with Maggie Murphy – General Manager of Lewes FC – to find out more about the amazing work the football club is doing to champion equality at every level of its organisation. The club is famous for being the world's only semi-pro or professional side to pay its men's and women's teams the same wage, but that is only one of the ways Lewes FC is showing the biggest clubs in the world how to use football as a force for good. The club splits all revenue equally between male and female teams, it has put a ban in place on working with gambling brands, it's planning to create an academy that gives young players a proper education outside of football, and it wants to surpass Barcelona as the world's “most owned” club. Maggie Murphy joined ‘The Future of Football' on International Women's Day to speak about the trailblazing work Lewes FC is doing for gender equality, and what makes the club so innovative.

Lewes FC have led the way in community ownership for over a decade now. In this episode we hear about the trials and the tribulations of such an operation. How do you engage an ambivalent community? How do you prioritize between winning on the pitch, and succeeding off it? Stuart doesn't have all the answers, but it was great to hear things aren't any easier over there! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/buildit/support

As many of our listeners will know, we absolutely love our football here on the All Bets Are Off podcast, and a series really wouldn't be a series without having at least one episode that centres around gambling in our nations number one sport. In today's show, we welcome John Peel (Director at Lewes FC) and Nick Hutt (co-owner of Billericay Town) to talk about gambling in football. We were keen to draw upon John and Nick's experiences in non-league football and how the betting industry impacts clubs - directly and indirectly - lower down the pyramid. We hope that this discussion can play a small part in football reverting to type and being as beautiful as it once was, free of betting logos emblazoned on everything. Long live the beautiful game... without betting sponsorship, promotion and advertising.

Today’s podcast is the first in a new series in which we talk to women about sport and the sports business more generally. Joining me on this trip is Laura Weston, the global communications consultant and board member of Women’s Sports Trust, as well as being a two time former guest on the show herself. Laura’s going to be my regular co-host in this series, helping us to ask better questions about women’s relationship with sport and the business that surrounds it. Our guest today is Maggie Murphy, CEO of Lewes FC, who is asking some really interesting questions herself about the task of building commercial value in women’s sport and specifically the evolution of professional football in Britain. Murphy doesn’t have the usual football boss CV and comes to the job from a career as a human rights and anti-corruption advocate, working for Transparency International, a global non profit seeking to end the abuse of power in its many forms. She has been playing adult competitive football since she was thirteen, and has set-up, coached or played for teams in Tanzania, Rwanda, Guadeloupe, the Netherlands, Germany and the UK. In 2019, Murphy became CEO of Lewes FC, a small town club in East Sussex playing alongside big names such as Liverpool and Leicester City in the FA Women’s Championship, the second tier of football in England. But the Lewes story has travelled far beyond the sports pages. In 2017, they became the first professional or semi-professional football club to pay its women’s team the same as the men’s team as part of their Equality FC initiative, which aims to raise awareness about gender inequality and encourage more support for women’s and girls’ football across the UK and around the world. We’ll be following up on the themes discussed in the podcast in later episodes and in this week’s Unofficial Partner newsletter, which you can subscribe to via the website if you don’t already.

Maggie Murphy is the general manager of a football club. Maggie is doing much more than that however and this is not just any football club On one level, Lewes FC is a small community football club in the Isthmian League. The women’s team currently punches above its weight in FA Women’s Championship - the 2nd tier of the Women’s National League. They play their home matches at the amazingly named Dripping Pan, where the directors boxes are actually beach huts. On another level, Lewes are the first ever football club to pay and treat male and female footballers equally. Maggie’s business card actually says ‘Equality FC’ and that’s what they are. With a background in human rights and a passion for football, Maggie (and the club) are driven by strong values and purpose; "Everything we do is driven to create a better society. We believe in the power of football for good and we believe that football can create inclusive, diverse, happy sustainable societies. Therefore it’s easy for us to turn down sponsorship from a gambling company because we don’t believe that has a positive impact on society”. I used to have a lot of questions; Why was I always fighting for little scraps of money? Why did we only get a little tiny mention in the paper when we won the National Cup? Why did our kit not fit? All these questions hit me at the same time as the corruption scandal was coming out of Fifa. It was huge moment for me - 'That’s why I was struggling’, I thought”. Now Maggie (and the club) are dreaming and aiming big. Lewes FC vs Real Madrid in the Women’s Champions League? Don’t rule it out. Smash The Box is a personal development business.

Anni talks to Karen Dobres, elected Co-Director of Lewes Football Club, the only football club in the world to pay women and men players the same. Karen reveals how her background affected her own prior prejudices and misconceptions about women in sport and why seeing women playing for the first time was a real "wake up call". She recalls the realisation of seeing women players as strong, passionate and highly skilled. She describes women footballers as boasting authentic qualities, which are often hard for other women to achieve. Karen shares how her experience of "being an outsider" has further driven her passion for equality and social justice, in sport and beyond.She reveals some shocking truths about the gender pay gap in sport, revealing the apparent lack of wealth invested in the Lionesses (England's professional women's team).However, despite the challenges, Karen talks passionately about the positive power of football and how, as the most popular sport in the world, it can change the way in which girls, boys, women and men are seen in society.She comments: “Sport is a huge index of meaning and value to so many people. If you think about football in particular, there are nearly 4 billion football fans around the world who live and breathe football and it has an incredible influence over their hearts and minds. So if we can use football to influence a more equal society in terms of gender, race and all of these things, then we will have been using it for good.”Discover moreTo find out more about Lewes Football Club, including details of how to be a member, visit: www.lewesfc.com/ownersYou can connect with Karen on Instagram: @karendobres

During this episode, we discuss how Football teaches us some lessons as to why the game is representative of what is and has happened for women on a wider scale by being excluded from business. We explore why it’s crucial we create a level playing field for women in both in prestigious positions and in business. “For so long, female players have been accepting crumbs from the men’s table and the reason is they’ve had to overcome so much to be there in the first place” - Karen Dobres This week on She Rebel Radio : How being a non-football fan led her to being an elected director of a football club Why women players are ‘behind’ the male teams (this will shock you) How football for women is representative of society and women in business How Lewes FC have marketed and created support for the women’s team Why we need male bastions to support and even initiate a level playing field for women How female footballers can provide as role models for women in their businesses Additional Quote : Simone de Beauvoir — '...her wings are cut and then she is blamed for not knowing how to fly.'

The pay-gap between men's and women's football has risen to the top of the sport's agenda. Players from the USWNT are demanding equal pay for their sporting achievements spurred on by the most commercially successful Women's World Cup . Their fight for equal pay has been a long worn journey, but may finally be coming to a positive resolution. If you have listened to Episode 4 I discuss Lewes FC's approcach to equality. Led by players such as Megan Rapinoe and Hope Solo , law suits have been filed. These women are challenging the entrenched stereotype that women should earn less than men. What is clear, is that these women have no intention of putting up with it anymore. Their feet have done the business on the pitch and it's now time for the deal makers of the game to do the same.

Karen Dobres, Equality FC Campaign Manager for Lewes Football Club, talks about why and how Lewes became the first football club in the world to achieve pay parity for its male and female players, and why - shockingly but brilliantly - it is still the ONLY club in the world to do it.

In an era of powerful unions, who would negotiate over beer and sandwiches at No 10 Downing Street, her plan failed. But within a year she succeeded in driving through the Equal Pay Act and in 1975 she reformed family allowances to “take money out of the husband's pocket on the Friday and put it into the wife's purse on the following Tuesday”. We discuss how Castle fought for union reform, what she learnt from it and her legacy with biographer, Anne Perkins and journalist, Helen Lewis.
